What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[Vulkyn]

Spent 3 hrs putting the winch together resulting in a catastrophic failure session.
Couldn't get it to fit properly and the gasket sealer was a mess.

Long story short will make a gasket and finnaly figured out i had the dang gears upside down.

Live and learn i guess ....

More of a final touch but installed new vanity plates.

 

[SucioP]

pm'd you bout that part

Can’t wait to see what you do with this 90s do-dad….

 

[Outsane]

Went out for a snow day last weekend in the "Dragon"

Turned around 2 miles from Wrights lake

What is this!?

Steering column mounted cell phone controller. Believe it was a dealer add to the 450s along with some big ace radio tube receiver hidden in the rear driver side paneling. Gonzo.

A fellow member is attempting to make a steree control out of it,

Love the rim-to-tire-size ratio you got goin on there.

The stock 15" wheels and Falken Wild Peak AT3w at 33 12.50 15. Just a step up from my stock 31s. Perfect for my use.

 

[USMCDocJ]

Hey there. What size tires and lift you running? Those 315’s?

I have the Dobinson 2-in heavy load springs front and rear with iron Man 4x4 foam cell pro shocks.

Falken Wild Peak AT3w 33 12.50 15.

Installed some Thule towers and bars I had laying around. In process of replacing the current rims with a set of 17 inch FJC Toyota steelies I picked up.

So many of these diesel 70 series stake bed trucks down here in South America. They’re the workhorses in rural areas.

Bet it was comforting that you were in the 80 in those conditions. A few years back I was in San Diego for Christmas, it was snowing going over the pass on Interstate 8 and I was in my wife's Corolla. The whole time I was pissed I wasn't in the 80 or my 3rd Gen 4Runner.

 

[USMCDocJ]

Adding a dash cam. Any good units?
Want motion sensing to catch Cat thieves.

I use this. Had it for almost 2 years now. Get the battery with it for overnight. I have my battery tied into my truck's aux battery on a switch and it barely sips juice for longer periods that my truck will sit.

I also have Rocky Road Outfitters Kicker Rock Sliders - Powdercoat and Diamond plate that comes with a cat protector.

How do you have your Blackvue mounted?

I will say the Yokohama’s are not a top notch ice tire. If I sipped them they would be way better. Fine in the pow but soso on ice.

I agree, but no MT is a good ice tire. My Yokos are in storage until spring. I run a set of 35’s with studs for the winter. Currently disappointed in the Cooper Maxx ST’s over the Duratrac’s they replaced. Wish I would have gone Grabber ATX with studs. Thinking I might buy a tire groover and start cutting. But they are still way better than the Yokos on snow/ice.

Finally got around to making the sand blast cabinet into a vapor honing cabinet (Wet sand blasting). So glad I did this thing is legit!!!! No more dingy aluminum on my builds. Under $400! Don’t ask there is tons of YouTube videos on how to make them.

I’ll take a before and after of some stuff I blast and post it.
I also use a old crock pot and let bolts and pieces soak on high for a couple hours and it is amazing what some heat with purple power will do. A couple scrubs with a brass brush and it saves me a lot of time and money on brake cleaner.
