What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (15 Viewers)

[Soju]

Installed a TJM bumper from a 105 series.

It's not pretty but it should offer some protection. I have plans to pull it off, remove some dents and paint it prior to hanging any lights or installing a winch.

Finally got around to this fix. Was a treat to read through the well described instructions. Thanks to Gamiviti seat repair parts it was a breeze!

Here was what came out

 

[PolishDude]

Installed my OME J SPRINGS WITH FOX PERFORMANCE 2.0 on my 80.

Have to put a 30MM front spacer from Slee to align everything back together..
Fox Shocks needed adapters to fit the front (PRO COMP have them..)

TJM 3.5 DEGREE Caster Bushing and SWAY BAR BRACKETS..

Came out looking incredible.

We finish the lift by 2.00am.. so by 3.30 am we were on our way to CITRUS NATIONAL FORREST to do some wheeling with some friend that came up from Miami.

I was removing J spring rears to go to 860s this weekend in Tampa haha

Couldn't you have used just one Magnflow to replace the 2 stock cats?

IDK...it was pretty easy to get these done up for me at the local exhaust shop.

In 80-related news I did get the chance to compare AWD and the ABS on/off with and without the CDL engaged. So there's that.

What were your findings?

I took a little bit of time to put two coats of Rust-Oleum Undercoating in each of the four wheel wells.
The old stuff was looking a bit worn out. It's the little things

Did you remove all of the old? What method did you use to remove it?

No way would I attempt to remove it all.
I just washed it really well. Let it dry overnight in a garage and hit it with the new stuff the next day.
Then let it drive overnight again in a garage.
I did run the forced air kerosene heater for a couple hours in the garage at 70 degrees after the initial spray.

Not at the moment, but I can get some.

Took the family and friends to the Christmas lighting in Leavenworth and stayed a couple nights. The sledding hill in town was packed so that made for a good excuse to go on some forest roads to sled.







Cheers,

NICE! It is pretty awesome to see so many Ih8mudder's in my neck of the woods! What forest road did you go sledding?

I believe the main fsr was 7520 off of eagle creek rd and then we explored different roads off the main fsr 7520.

Loaded up El Guapo for her (and yes, I know "El" denotes a masculine noun in Spanish, but that's just how I roll) trip to ACC to see how much damage my blown head gasket caused.

 

[grizzlygibbs]

Sweet. Nice country up in the Eagle Creek and Van Creek area.

John, pictures of your RZ500! Story? From Canada?

How dare you accuse me of posting gratuitous selfie photos to up my like's count at some underhanded attempt of dethroning @NLXTACY as the king of likes!

C'mon, can we at least attempt to keep this thread tech related! Now....my LCs inline 6 preformed flawlessly in getting me to the beach on this glorious winter day.

791 is what page 733 was suppose to be?
Color is off! Just saying!
