What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (46 Viewers)

[LandCruisinMy93]

I sprayed my front and rear cameras with plasti dip for added protection. They have been underwater a few times and no problems yet.

Yeah, the old camera was supposed to be completely waterproof but it filled with water the first rain we got. So I dismantled it and cleaned it out and dried it up and used FIPG around the seal and around the chord going into the housing and it did the same thing next rain. I tried to get the seller to replace it but needless to say the language barrier between English and Chinese proved to be too big of an obstacle. So I bought another almost identical cam from an American seller this time. Hopefully it stays dry.

No worries. All my fronts are shot pretty much. If not I will just track down the turk or cdan.

Just the bushing press tool. All the bushings have found homes.

Fixed my rear brakes. Turns out that the grinding noise was actual grinding

That's really close to needing to replace the piston. Congrats! Never seen one abused like that before.

Posted on the correct page number.

Well I was trying to hold out one more page, just to mix it up....but was getting late so I posted anyways.

This 50,000 ton press came in handy to get the old bushings out...

Well, if a 50 ton press works good... then a 100 ton press should do it twice as fast. Correct?

Sweet looking rig. What lift do you have?

 

[Soju]

Bought one. Immediately started pulling junk off of it. Those rims have got to go.

 

[LS1FJ40]

Painted the passenger side. Didn't get to the starter tonight. Will do it tomorrow night. Would've been a helluva lot easier to do it when I had the AC compressor pulled. Damnit!

Easiest repair to date: killing time while my daughter was buckling in, two quick shifts on the transfer case between high and low and got the center diff and abs lights to come one--first time in the year I've owned it.
