Cleaning out the interior.

Anyone ever run into this? Backwards seat belt buckles. How can I flip these around?

It takes a bit of force, but you can twist and fold the belt, then slide the buckle over the fold. It helps to have the bottom end anchored so you have something solid to pull against. I hope that makes sense.

I had the same issue and that’s the solution.
 
Used Chemical Guys hard water spot remover on some nasty water spots on windows and paint. Stuff works pretty good.

I'll try it out, thank you!

Edit - easiest task ever, just took a minute or two

A week late but I put about 2k miles on it driving from Virginia to the northern Adirondacks and back. It started at the Gotham city cruisers wheeling event: Coal Miners Cruisers Classic, at anthrocite adventure off road park. Had a great time. Didn't break much, got a a little dirty but nothing that couldn't be washed off. After the event I went to see some friends in update NY and drove the lc to less than. 90 miles from the CAN border. She performed flawlessly the entire way. Even on 37s with stock gears on the highway. I didn't have to worry about speeding tickets for sure.

Tore apart another one! Unfortunately this one was in a bad accident head on collision with a f350 at 35mph so it broke some of the block off. The head will be saved and the blocks going to the scrap yard(side of the shop).

I received the drivers side wire harness replacement! [ I rolled the 80 on its side a couple of years ago - fyi - they still run just fine after rolling over ]. I already replaced the door and the mirror. Now I need the door glass (including the runners) installed, then its all plug and play.

By the way - lack of window and interior door skin doesn't stop the green 80's from running.

Next step is drive cycle to get the smog check and take it off non-operation.

Has anyone found a cup holder option like the onestone arm rests but without the arm rest? I didn't look at the installation video so not sure if it would be strong enough if it was just a cup holder. The option to have it installed anywhere along the length of the window would allow flexibility for placement in the rear seats. You wouldn't have the arm rest but you'd have cup holders :)
I purchased THIS CUPHOLDER after seeing it in the cab of Overland Bound's 80 series.

it's huge and holds a big Hydroflask without issue. If you're looking for JUST a cupholder and don't mind it being wedged into the window panel, it's great. And only $11

I am afraid something like that would be a mess waiting to happen with my driving habits 🤣
 
I happen to love my Duratracs.

However, my use is highway, muddy job site, gravel roads, snow, rain, and a LITTLE rock crawling.

I got 95,000 miles out of my first set of 285/75-16 Duratracs.
I'm on my second set now with 33K already and they hardly appear worn.

So, they work great at the Mall.

And at Coffee shops, just so you know.......

When I have wheeled on rocks, 15 PSI was a tiny bit too much. 12 PSI worked better, but I only had about 4 hours worth, then pumped back up to 45 PSI for the road home.
ya was gunna say I love my Duratrac's and air them down to 12psi regularly. Never had an issue.
