What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

Picked up a Slee Shortbus from a awesome mud member in NC, added the Warn Zeon and some ambers.

My mind read "Warren Zevon"

My mind read "Warren Zevon"

I've always wondered if that was intentional, if there was a zevon superfan high up at Warn

These are the best looking bumpers for an 80 hands down and very well built. I picked up a 4xlabs chosing clearance over looks. Every time I see a Slee, I wonder if I made the right choice...

Went 4x4 labs on my rear. It’s arriving tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll have time to mount it this weekend.

Finally got back out to CO to see my baby that I left behind after Cruise Moab in April…and replaced the mangled Whiteline rear sway bar…it was rolled over about 150 degrees after catching a bolder…broke my link the day before and should have pulled it off before going out the next day… Instead it cost me the links AND a new bar. Fortunately had my diamond cutoff wheel on a Makita cordless grinder and did a quick trail fix to keep the day going. @Outsane mounts held up great!

Holly cow! @CrabCake

The mount held as you torqued off a sway bar..

I am impressed..

Small and dumb but I found these Hella horns for $30~. The old horns were crusty and I'de like to restore them, tried these out in the mean time. Sounds the same to be honest, and I need to fix the bracket angle (I don't know how they torqued them so hard I gave up). Atleast they're shiny and say "HELLA"

This is me distracting myself from the other $1k worth of parts & maintenance I have sitting in boxes

I truly cannot imagine a bigger waste of time or money.

Today I got rid of the awful Hella horns that came in my truck, exchanged for FIAMMs. According to my phone decibel meter, they are the same volume, but the new ones sound a million times better.

Hella

Mom's going to be mad with all that oil on the drive way

And all the parts on the side of the rig

Nothing a little brake cleaner and a pressure washer wont take of. How do I know that is how I deal with a leaky steering box stains on my driveway.
