What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (60 Viewers)

@ikarus Are those OEM quads or aftermarket?

The housings, trim, side marker lights and covers are all OEM, and the lights are aftermarket. I did a writeup here on my build thread:

Builds - Ikarus' HDJ81 Aussie-Style Build

Stopped by Cruiser Outfitters to buy some stuff for my 200 and made an impulse purchase... just can't beat a classic ARB. Plus I forgot how easy the install is, if I ever find a bumper I like more i'll just zip off a few bolts and replace it. Didn't take many pics of the process cause there...

Dollar for dollar / Minute for minute, this speedo calibration from Lutz Auto is the best mod for immediate success. Well done!

Pulled the engine transmission today. After several hurdles we completed the objective.
Miller time!!!

Maybe I missed it in a previous post but, did you ever say what your plans are? Looks like the perfect time for a swap.

 

[Octanejunkie]

Nice work !

If I grow to hate it I'll buy cans of moon glow and respray, maybe vinyl. I dont mind experimenting.

I wrapped the hood on my 4runner since it was hazing and the glare was awful. Came out good/good enough.

 

[Outsane]

Yeah it came out ok, fun to experiment

So I guess poppyspatina is just a marketing ploy? Works but doesn't last? Was thinking if using poppys

Well my original plan was to rebuild original drivetrain… but I’ve been looking into other option as well.

The clear coat peeled from beneath poppy patina.

Only happened on the hood so far

My GF filmed this happening last night, here is the result

 

[banjo1981]

Going to do some roof rack swapping. Putting a LC factory rack on the LX470. Moving my home-brew flat rack FROM the LX470 TO the ‘93 LC. So I took the factory rack off of the ‘93.

Well I may have mental problems and own both…

It's depressing reading this thread after my Land Cruiser got stolen. 20 years of maintenance and modifications all gone. At least I still have the memories. Still trying to decide whether to replace it with another one or go a different direction.

STOLEN - Recovered: 1997 Land Cruiser Stolen Seattle

My Land Cruiser was stolen from the driveway last night so if someone happens to spot it, let the police or me know. 1997 Dessert Dune / Moonglow ARB front bumper with Toyota driving lights ARB roof rack with a BMW Thule on it Slee sliders Last seen in the Wallingford neighborhood in Seattle...

More progress on the engine refresh / reseal. Everything cleaned up, block painted, new timing chain, new cam / crank gears, new guides, new water pump, new oil cooler cover installed.

Saturday was very hot so we headed up to the High Country for a day trip and spent it cooling off in the Howqua river

This pic is up near the Slate Mine on the Howqua River Road

I know the feeling! After mine got stolen I urged everyone to get some kind of tracker in case this BS ever happens to anyone else. I hope everyone does some kind of prevention. Sorry for you.

 

[Outsane]

Grease your caliper sliding pins kids

Or this is you rotor on drugs.

 

[Thealmightyphil]

After a 2 week solid maintenance saga, we went and did some good old fashioned wheelin'

 

[jamesl Leritz]
