What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[leonard_nemoy]

Damn wheel fell off on a cruise down the street for breakfast… not sure why either the lugs worked themselves or someone tried to take it
Happened today… put it back on with some spare logs but need new fender

I am betting someone loosened them. Dirty sob's

How was it driving prior to the wheel falling off? What is the condition of the wheel studs?

That could have been a lot worse. Thank goodness everyone is okay!

 

[suzuguru]

It definitely sucks, but at least it was in a parking lot, and not on the highway.

Worked on the 40 this morning but found time to wash the 80 and grease the drive shafts.

For those that know me, y’all realize this is an extraordinary circumstance.

That’s actual real dirt on my LA Uber 80.

I won’t disappoint you again.

Do you have correct lugnuts?

Do you have correct lugnuts?

yep i did they were bought new when I bought the wheels from 4 wheel parts... not sure if someone tried to steel the wheels and realize they didn't have a big enough jack?

will need a new fender... would like to get some pre runner fiberglass fenders but no one seems to make them for the 80s

Did this solve your issue? Having similar issue with my 96'

100%... I've since learned that you're supposed to replace the fusible link every time you replace the battery

 

[nigelsiam]

Got out for a quick overnight trip.

How cold was it up there camping? Is that where you camped?

Finally got around to making an investment towards some suspension upgrades. @cruiseroutfit got me set up with some Long Travel BP51's and a set of J Springs.

Installed the rear lower control arms from @TRAIL TAILOR which the pictures don't do them justice. They're huge!

Overall these BP51s have a lot of adjustments which I haven't tapped into. Made a few quick changes and massive improvements over the nitro OME kit. Very plush ride now and looking forward to even more tuning.

That's a nice setup! I really liked the TT control arms when I had them.

I installed a Gamiviti roof rack, with my 12 year old daughter, that I purchased on facebook marketplace from a seller who drove it up from North Carolina. It came with an LED light bar, which I have yet to wire up.

I've been enjoying my Gamiviti. We really load it up too. Also serves as a good home project lumber hauler!

 

[petwhookie]

Did the Rubithon with a few OG TLCA heads.

3 linked 80 did amazing. I still need to fine tune a few things such as sway bars.

I didn’t know it was legal to buy children on Facebook .

Did a quick trail run with this monster.

@H8 Roads and a few other locals. Good time. There was a stock 80-something (gulp) ni$$@n that actually really impressed me.
