What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (72 Viewers)

[Fj80oregon]

Sat there mesmerized, watching new paint cure, loving my new door panels from Orikawa and wondering how long the shine will last. I am in a bit of shock to say the least. I barely recognize my own truck . View attachment 3694581View attachment 3694583

What sup with these door cards? What’s the pros of having these over stock? They look pretty sweet birch wood?

They're aluminum with powder coat. Very sturdy, clean, attached with screws and rubberized rivnuts and come with a nice window sweeper trim. Doug shows explains/here..

I like those door cards. I just refreshed mine but if they ever go again I’ll do something like this.

So it’s sold as a full set? Seems fairly priced at $750.

Yes full set, trim, hardware for the panels themselves. Use your OE screws for the handles etc.

Never mind I’ll make my own.

Ordered up some new tires. Will be moving the Kenda Klever MT2s to my son's minitruck and the Cruiser is getting these Maxxis Razr's.

Same size tire (37x12.50R17) but the Kenda only measures a hair over 35" which was disappointing. The Maxxis measured 36.8" so it will be nice to be back on a true 37 again.

In other news, I've got the Prinsu rack etc off the top of the truck for a bit for some cleanup and refresh. The whole truck needs a bit of cosmetic love after being neglected for most of the year.

I try to preserve my 80 and keep it stock, but these MOLLE door cards exist damn

The good news is there are no permanent alterations needed to install these so you can always go back to the originals. I happen to love the originals as well.

Go for it. Make sure to share pictures.

I had mine cut same as stock from abs plastic, then recovered with the factory fabric and fittings. Works well, but I really like the looks of these aluminum ones, especially with the molle slots.

I think $750 for a set is very fair.

Was the 24 valve motor an option in 91? I thought it was all 12 valve 1HD-T.

Something every day.

When they need it for sure. I’ll probably just pick up some 22 gauge and trace the card, rivnut the the holes and button head the mounts.

No it was not, it was released in 1995.

Probably not the original sticker on the back of the tailgate then.

In other news, I might have figured out where some of the steering lack of precision is coming from in the 80.
I pulled the Panhard rod to do the bushes, and noticed this.....

Some assembly (welding) required.

That’s bad, maybe worst I have seen.

I own a fabrication shop, so it won't look like that for long. Pain in the arse to get at though. I'm contemplating taking the cap off the end of the pipe and fitting a piece of round bar inside to stiffen the joint up a bit.

Just cut it all off like I did!

Looks like my 12v?

Mine too - but the tailgate in Tears post had a 24V sticker.
