Pulled out a friend's S65 AMG. Something about RWD mixed with a twin turbo V12 doesn't make a good off roader
Then cleaned it and painted the inserts in the bumper with gloss black.

Finally had to pull the battery & take it to work for testing. It failed with a bad cell.
Fortunately, I had bought it less than 2 years ago, so was able to get the free replacement. Hooked up the battery Wednesday night and got the Cruiser out of the driveway for my wife's sake.Today, the paint was dry on the hold-down, which I'd wire wheeled, primered, & painted again.
Then, we had some errands to run. First went and loaded up a picking ladder from my dad, then headed to see the guy who has @Snacktime's old rig. He was selling 4 of the stock wheels with worn out 315s on them. I'll scrap the tires, but the wheels could be useful one of these days.
We were underneath, trying to figure out why his center diff wouldn't lock. Without it, he doesn't have 4WD, since the part-time conversion was done.
I'll have to get a picture of the tires later. They just barely fit inside, and the boys had to ride double in the front seat.

I was drawing all day Saturday and helping out someone with their pending York OBA install. Did not a damn thing on my own truck. I should be getting ready for Overland Expo but argh
This type of oil filter wrench will fix that issue, completely.
The issue, I think, isn't the overtightening of oil filters on install. My 80 has the stickiest d*mn oil filter in the most awkward position of any car I've ever owned.
What this kind of wrench does is fix the awkward positioning and makes removal easy (and clean).

Just returned from a month long work trip to Senegal and Niger in Africa assessing village solar water pumping systems for USAID. 3900 driving miles total covered with a little over 2000 miles on dirt (sandy desert). In Senegal we had a pair of Prados and in Niger we had a pair of Hundys and a Hilux.
It was a great trip and almost all of it was spent in very rural areas. My first time in French speaking Africa and it was interesting to be exposed to local cultures, food , and customs. I don't speak a lick of French :^). 110-115 degrees every day taxed our vehicle AC systems and often we kept the AC off and ran windows down to keep from overheating. We occasionally had vehicle issues but the most interesting one was having the clutch slave cylinder go out on one of our Hundys in the middle of nowhere 200 miles from the nearest Toyota dealer. We limped it to the next village and paid someone to "borrow" a similar part from their Toyota truck. Worked for us
At least in this area of Africa 80's are becoming a dying breed as they become ragged out and parts become harder to source. They are certainly around, but newer LC's have replaced them in the NGO market and that is a lot of what trickles down into the civilian market. Hundys are a dime a dozen.
And to keep it 80's tech... I arrived home to pick up my PM effort, the last item being to replace the oil pump cover gasket. Even with heat and PB blaster, all 7 friggin screws stripped
. I'm drilling out screws today :^(.
Also was excited to see a box from Wits' End waiting for me. Love my new sweatshirt! Thanks Joey!

That's awesome and I am sure a great experience. I love my 80, but Ive had good driving experiences with the Prado around the world.Just returned from a month long work trip to Senegal and Niger in Africa assessing village solar water pumping systems for USAID. 3900 driving miles total covered with a little over 2000 miles on dirt (sandy desert).
