What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (26 Viewers)

[Box Rocket]

Not a good week. Destroyed my e-locked rear diff (not the gears) and short side axle. It's a long story. If anyone has a lead on a locking rear diff I'd sure appreciate it.

It drags it around fine. My trip from the mine to home is about 50 miles. I wouldn't want to drag it much further. Brakes are the issue. The trailer has surge brakes, and things would probably work better with electric brakes. I am down to first gear at redline at the top of the 7%, three mile grade I have to traverse.

How does through 1101 pull behind the '80? I've thought about getting one, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Got started on getting all my Christmas stuff on. Still have a lift, rear bumper, snorkel and a few other goodies to go on.

Drove it to the next state over to check this 40 out. More rust than we had time for though.

Filled her up, thats about it . Luckily, my family eats lots of food so the fuel points made the fill up only $16.85.

Heh. A year ago, I was there, running with dry birfs.

I'm pretty sure my computer monitor started to rust just looking at it.

Running with dry birfs and precisely 1 or 2 properly sized bolts holding my knuckles on, with low torque and two short heli-coils per hole.

And we have plenty of water! Well, it's actually ice now because it's f#@%ing -8F degrees!

Geez you lot whinge a lot about the price of fuel. Move here and see what we cop! Converted to gallons, I'm paying $3.50 US for diesel ($1.325/L AUD)

I'd purchased a NATO metal gas can at a local car parts store for just under $30 a month or so back. I filled it with fuel a week or so ago, and drove around with it in back.

I noted no smell of fuel during this test, so I poured it into my tank today. It has a spout that is self vented, and I was amazed at how clean the pour was. I couldn't even smell the gas when pouring it into the tank.

I did note it was slightly slow, but overall I found it to be a good container, despite its affordable price. I will pick up at least one more to extend my range. While I can get fuel for $2.39 on post, off post it is significantly higher.
