Found some wiring that seemed useless, also an ABS/ LSPV delete and power antennae removal. Working on getting the Ham installed, CB and a newish stereo
First good day for a trail run up on Larch Mountain in Washington.
I’m the only 80 series in the group
Filmed from my Wolfang GA200 4k “action cam”, and edited by me.
I haven’t done any editing in a long time…probably could have cut some more fat off, but, eh. I had fun compiling everything.
The others played in the mud at the end

Box Rocket
SILVER Star
Well if it had been a sticking solenoid problem I’d have done that too.

There are a couple fb groups I can pm you for land cruisers in the area

I used to live in Battleground back in the early ‘80s. I haven’t seen Larch Mtn in yrs. I used to love hunting and wheeling up there. Thanks for sharing your footage.
He didn’t mention the year of his 80 to me, but if he has the cloth headliner with the bows and he is going to be welding roof holes (which I don’t recommend) then it’s a good idea to drop the headliner in the section he is welding. But that involves removing all the windows to properly remove it, that’s why I suggested filling or plugging the roof holes.
Been wanting to test fit these widened FJC Steelies.
And I’m quite happy with myself!These balanced up and took less weight than some previously ran fancy wheels.View attachment 3283108View attachment 3283116
Steelies look nice, exactly what I’m looking for. Excuse my dumbness but what is the advantage of widened steelies?
Did you buy or make the widened steelies?
Thanks
Where did you install the Kicker Key 200.4 amplifier? Thanks!
Rear pinion seal changed due to leak.
Underneath so I grabbed my trusty Snap-On fav wrenches.
5 u-joint nuts loose and all 8 knuckle nuts loose!
Knuckle nuts were locktite installed also

I like your vintage stripes.
Those 37" TSL/SX right?
Very interesting red 80 behind you... cut chopped & a jeep grill, a FJC grill would be slick also.
Do you have any info on the red 80?

Thank you! Stripes are something the girlfriend and I did one afternoon after a trip to hobby lobby. 37x14.50 SXIIs on Methods. Very happy with how they worked, still breaking in. Had them down to 8# front, 6# rear to get them to flex as that was the first real weekend out with them. Just some minor tweaking here and there still on mine.
The red one is @halffzj80, not sure if he has anymore pics on here, but I have a few on my phone I can post. He did a really nice job on the cut and tube work. Its unreal how much better it "works" compared to mine. It is a aftermarket FJC grille, but he had talked about swtiching out the stock FJC grille. Its really crazy though how much cutting it made it so much more nimble. Im still full interior, etc, but his was a fricken billy goat losing all the weight in the rear. Its stock gearing, and suspension.... so far. Not sure what his plans are for it next. There was a lot of talk and ideas thrown around over the weekend......
After pulling that security mess out, does your security light on the dash stay lit?? I pulled mine out years ago, and have always had the red light I dont like....

These are by far my favorite wrenches for the Cruiser. That whole set is good, but those 2 are awesomeRear pinion seal changed due to leak.
