What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[OffRoadScott]

Or at the very least....a "TURBO" sticker!

I think the sticker yields more HP too.

I love how you can equate fixing every problem with getting a turbo! LOL

Been trying to talk @JWNissan into aTurbo but keeps on saying his broke all the time....stop buying horses!!

I am beginning to think that C&C is giving him $10 off his next TURBO every time he mentions it on here.

Glass shop called me. They know land cruisers very well and I was referred to them by our local land cruiser group. He warned me about rust said he'd need 3-4 days to fix it all.

They called me at 2 pm and said no rust. Windshield is done.

Actually for turbo #3

But wait, isn’t adding a turbo buying horses?

 

[JWNissan]

Great views!! It's noisy all the time or only when it's engaged?

Just random times. Like when going from reverse to drive or sometimes turns in parking lots. It seems a bit quieter now but when it clanks it clanks loud. Like people at the gas station look your way. Reminds me of the sound of a broken ring gear. lol

Ha! Horses are so much more expensive than a turbo. At least in the long-term. Turbos don't need hot rock massages and expensive supplements.

So if I am using @efjayatee's logic, wives need hot rock massages and expensive supplements just like horses. Then Horses equate to TURBO. Therefore, you need a TURBO just like you need a wife?

I have a Spartan in the back u get used to it. But then you eventually don’t think about no more and when it unloads it’s scares the crap out of you. I just yell locker! And now my kids do too lol.

Thanks MUD, I just made $100 off my next Turbo!

Regeared to 5.29s with a lunchbox locker then went camping. The locker is loud.

Which brand mechanical locker did you go with? I’ve heard the grizzly is pretty quiet.

My son and I did Front brakes today -
Question … what is preferred jack to have in your 80 ? I had a 12 ton bottle jack and didn’t realize it was way short - and my son’s floor jack was too short, not worried about home- can get a big floor jack but what about on the road for something with 33-35” tires. I need in my truck now. This would have been a disaster with a flat. My recovery boards have a jack platform in the middle if that helps at all, but do I just need a 36” bottle jack or what is best ? I do not want to be stranded if I have a flat off road- this was a major oversight in my part

Hoping to get shocks on this week and oil pan gasket within next couple weeks.

I use the stock Toyota bottle jack, I’m on 37s and it works fine on that truck.

Highlift jack vs Bottle jack vs Exhaust jack Great comparison between bottle jack to hilift.
I'm using a bottle jack with a base. Hilift is overkill for my purpose.

this is my new jack

 

[pace it]

Engine harness, transfer case, and t-case shifter are off the old 3FE/A440F. If any FJ80 owners are interested or know of an FJ62 owner in need, it's for sale here:

3FE & A440F Combo - https://forum.ih8mud.com/classifieds/3fe-a440f-combo.827/

And the fun of cleaning 34 years' worth of engine bay grime & mud.

I like this logic!!!

LOL, I'm going to start doing that! Especially on trails so my spotter doesn't freak out.

I have a Spartan I got from a buddy who upgraded to a Grizzly. I'll have to ask him what he thinks.

 

[hisandhers80s]

I have a spare Spartan for the rear 3rd member sitting in my garage that I took out to install an ARB. If anyone wants it, just pay shipping, and it is yours.

And at that price you can't go wrong.

Is this a 60 in the photo from the Amazon listing?
