What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

Wasted $120 for me and two of the kids to go to Iron Mountain OVH “resort”. Oh wow. All we got was some frights for some “green” trails (greens for SxS and motorcycles) and a whole lot of red mud caked on. Kids were done within an hour and I made us hit a few more of their trails on the way out. Their “maps” are massive crap and their tiny trail signs aren’t much better. But, now we know.

Kids wanted to hit a couple of nearby “real trails” so we did Nimble something and Amicola something. Both of them are dirt roads until they aren’t. Ha! The back part of Nimble whatever was awesome had to help a pickup that ripped their sidewall get turned around so we could make it back up to Amicola something. That was the narrowest trail ever. Ran into two new LR Discoveries coming down, had the tiniest little spot I could pull up and they squeezed by. We had fun and Amicola Falls state park looked amazing… got head back when visibility is more than 50’.

Spent yesterday cleaning the red mud off as today… dropped it off for ACC for 3.5 weeks (week of break in there)… for quite the list. Looking forward to having a known baseline to move forward with on the trails.

My list:

Dakota Digital Speed Signal Correction

Driver Mirror Replace (supplied)

Install Dual Sensing Smart Start Battery Isolator 12V 200A

Install Charcoal Cannister (supplied) and new cap

Replace Seat Gears

Degrease Engine, Engine Bay, and Undercarriage

Replace leaking donut gaskets, could be more or less labor due to fully welded exhaust

Replace all hoses, belts, oil pump cover, front main seal, breather hoses, valve cover gasket, thermostat,

Replace spark plugs, spark plug wires, and distributor cap & rotor

Reseal Oil Level Sender

Change Diff & T-Case Gear Oil

Extend Brake Lines so not tight at full droop for offroading

Replace Front/Back Bump Stops w/Timbren Active Off Road (frieght TBD)

Repalce Bushings on front radius arm

Rebuild parking brake that is completely rushed

Replace rear window washer diverter valve

Drop transmission pan, inspect, and replace fluid

Full knuckle rebuild; may not need calipers so cheaper

Replace all four window runs

Replace Warn 8k with ARB 12k Winch

Had the original subwoofer for the 96 re-coned ($65) I and reinstalled it tonight. Sounds a little better in there now with the sub and the upgraded pioneer door/dash speakers and Sony head unit.

A place called Allen Speaker Reconing in Houston. He only takes cash or check, and by the looks of the place I don’t think he has an e-commerce business.

Someone that wants to preserve the original Greek.

I quite quite like that myself.

Now I need to do this car audio work all over again for the 91. Radio hasn’t worked since I bought the thing a few years ago. I’ve been listening to music on my iPhone speaker the whole time.

It’s the double din sized. I’ll probably just buy the same Sony car play unit that I put in the 96.

Do you want an OEM head unit?

I can’t imagine the bill for all that. 😳
 
Anybody know someone that repairs the early dashboard vinyl sections? Mine finally cracked after 33yrs :(

I don't really want to get all custom with this if I can avoid doing so.
