Went to play in the snow with our HDJ80 and also helped a friend install an intercooler in his diesel conversion.

what kind of box is that on your roof rack?
Alubox from Equipt1. One is the pantry, the other tools and parts. They have been on the roof for the last 5 years/100k miles and holding as new.
 
thanks, but holymoly they are expensive. I would need to find something without the overland tax.
When you walk to a Ferrari shop, you don't ask how much it cost, you ask "when can I get that red one"... :):)
 
Anyone have the Rocky Road sliders on their 80? Any fitment issues when installing?
 
I used to own this, it essentially underwent a frame on full rebuild after I sold it. The entire interior, paint, and all accessories are all new. The wheels are terrible, but beyond that could be a good vehicle for someone.

Disregard, they have it priced at $32K on their website. I'm sure the reserve price is at least that high.
 
I had a friend bring his oxy-acetylene torch over and we bent some exhaust hangers in order to a) correct its position and get the front muffler off the driveshaft, and b) eliminate some more vibrations, making it quieter than ever. (B) was an unexpected bonus. I love when little things work out this well.
 
Picked up a press for cheep at an estate sale! Time to do some bushings!

Wish they had stuff like that on estate sales around here…. usually its mainly old dishes and garden tools… a lucky find would be a half used can of WD40 (and they would probably still want $5)

Edit: I hope you had help moving that press! They are h-e-a-v-y… ask me how I know!

It was a retired guys shop and man was he set up probably 100k worth of matching equipment and two bridge cranes to move everything. Unfortunately I don’t have the room for a 12 foot metal lathe or that might have come home with me. They helped me load it and I used the engine hoist to support getting it out. I foresee a gantry crane in my near future! I have been shopping for used ones to pull drivetrains with, people just want to much for junk these days. I miss the old days of buying stuff for a reasonable price used but the internet has ruined that.

People can't discern from their junk and their good stuff. So they see a car or a tool on the Internet like theirs and assume that's the price.

Nice score...I have the HF version and have found all kinds of uses over the years....multiple vehicle projects with gears for diffs & transfer case, tone rings on CV's, etc. Ironically, I haven't had to do bushings yet!
