What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (45 Viewers)

[Feldrian]

Oregon Trophy Challenge was a blast. Definitely going back next year and definitely going more prepared. Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of good pics from the drivers seat, but managed to snag a few from other photographers on FB.

Definitely going to be running doors next time!

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....

No, I pulled all the wiring... well almost. I'm keeping the light/ buzzer/ sensor thing. I can use the light for my Blue Sea SI-ARC relay monitor

These are by far my favorite wrenches for the Cruiser. That whole set is good, but those 2 are awesome

I think if anybody tries them they will think “how did I ever get by without them!”

Lots of leverage, fits fantastic and the zero offset is perfect. Straight pull and never pops off the fastener because of zero offset!

Did you have to replace this due to it leaking? im having this issue leaking on the passenger side i ordered another glass gasket gonna pull the glass and remove and install so hopefully that works. previous owner said the drain holes were cleared but i suppose ill blow them out with compressed air as well

No...leaks thankfully. Just replacing all original things with gaskets from 1997. Definitely less wind noise though.

1FZ head building activities today….

Best way to deal with the 1FZ head and wiring harness: hang it and build it!

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

Thanks, man! Yes, they were widened. I like the OE look of steelies and OE plus even better. I would venture to say this is the only set on the planet of the FJC variety.

Thank you! This is the gasket for the tray #10. There’s another gasket #1 that attaches to the actual glass.

Hopefully y’all don’t ruin a weekend doing this work while missing a key piece for your restoration efforts.

The seal is bonded to the glass. It is not serviced separately. You buy the glass to get it.

so the seal that i bought cannot be removed from the glass and replaced using a waterproofing adhesive to attach the new seal?

For the glass and seal, where did you purchase? Thank you.

The seal you bought goes in between the sunroof pan and the underside of the roof panel.
