I'm changing my A/T fluid right now, and I can't remember if the fluid level should be set with the engine off or running, and the owner's manual doesn't specify. What's correct?
What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

It’s almost always with the engine running, in park, and on level ground. What’s unique to the 80 series is that it has hot and cold marks on the dipstick.

That's what I'm used to, but other owner's manuals say that explicitly.
EDIT - those details are in the FSM. Not sure how that was useful to the dentist's wife that bought mine new, but whatever.

Did the same last week. The last auto zone one lasted like ten years. Not too bad.
For me it was climbing in hills, middle of summer travel. I would stop for a while and let the gas tank vent out. Summer is over now, I could’ve put it off till next year.
Met up with folks
Met up with an old timer on the trail. Temp was 23°. Cold enough to freeze a water bottle. This old fella slept out on a cot!
I sleep on a cot also 
when it's that cold at night it makes you appreciate the warm morning sunshine even more!!
well. That’s not right.
Straight. But not straight.
amazingly. It tracks straight as an arrow.
What do ya’ll think I bent on the trail?

What's up with that oil pressure?
I think the oil pressure sender unit is wired into my caffeine intake manifold. Clearly, needed more caffeine at that moment.

Thinking of these for the Turbo. There are other vendor(s) here on mud that sells the quad wire adapters but Jose is the original and does his R&D. He knows his s***-Not copies!

I went out and did some Moab things with my Dad this last week. Two days of driving there, three days with Dad, two days driving back and the whole time, the only dirt my Cruiser saw was the BLM road off of Nevada Hwy 50 where I camped, the road from Moab up Kane Creek to the Ledge campground, and the last two miles of gravel to the Elephant Hill trailhead in Canyonlands. Other than that it was all highway and hikes accessible via paved roads. It was Dad's first time to Moab and at some point he told me "You know, all these rocks just look the same to me..." so I guess that's the last time I'll be meeting him there!
Last trip up to the lakes for the season.
Snow. Aspens. Ghost towns. Weather def changed though. Bridgeport. Bodi. Got the last of the best weather and the first dose of winter.
2100 rpm @120 km/H......... cool.I went out and did some Moab things with my Dad this last week.

Downhill & the wind behind you ?
Nah, diesel swap and a 3.70 final drive ratio. But it was probably slightly downhill right there.2100 rpm @120 km/H......... cool.

What oil pressure??
I really liked the idea of a window rocket but it goes where I mounted the fuse panel so I decided I would rather not relocate the fuse panel and forgot about having fast windows. Then after seeing all the reviews I decided I could make it work with some long standoffs from McMaster Carr. The holes all lined up so it was easy. Fast windows and an aux fuse panel. Solid mount so far.
