What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[b16]

The one with good reviews
I got one from HF. Will see if the reviews were fake or not.

I suppose they are all pretty much the same then? In terms of connecting properly to the fittings? I haven't used a grease gun since I was 16 in HS auto shop. lol

Road trip found my "great" gas mileage... 8.48 MPG!

you are working on your land cruiser right?!!! and not a Land Rover?

never use HF tools on a land cruiser!...Joey will tell you to go sit in the corner for a 10 minute time out!

I suppose in this case replace "track" with "trail".

You need a zerk fitting connection. To grease the birfs @LS1FJ40 zip lock bag method is probably the best.
There are two types that I've seen so far. One with a lever and the other with a squeeze handle. I paid $13 for mine with a handle. I'll get the other one if it doesn't work well. I won't use it everyday anyway.

I contemplated changing out the original PHH on my 203k miles LC. But then I decided if it's lasted this long, what the heck, let's see how long we can go.

So, when it blows at highway speed, you overheat and trash your head....

BTW, it's already seeping. I call that "blown".

The only flaw I see with that flowchart is in the "Is this tool motorized" which defaults to Craftsman if you say "no". I have HF hand tools that are pretty darned good.

Had to fix a leaking caliper and then we jumped rope.

But I understand your confusion.
South Africans and Australians are pretty much the same people.
They both speak bad English and drive on the wrong side of the road.

No no in South Africa we drive on the right side of the vehicle in the left lane, on bad roads that requires a Land Cruiser.
Then we have an English accent understood by persons that speak one or several of our 11 official languages.

I also know that 90% of all Land Rovers produced are still on the road.
Due to the fact that only 10% made it back home.

Coyote Canyon and Borrego Springs. Mother's Day trip with the family.

Drove 800 miles in this junker - Colorado Springs to eastern Oklahoma.
I think it only used 60 gallons of fuel.

Naw. I'm doing the axles and lift in the next few weeks, so figured I'd attack it then. More amazed that the original PHH has made it past 200k miles. That seems to contradict conventional wisdom on the inharent weakness of the design.

Sat. I drove 2.5 hrs South to visit @jtwopark & picked up a very needed 37" spare, well I went for one & ended up with three. He even bought me breakfast. Thank you @jtwopark
Then came home found out I had some time to play since the family went shopping. So most know or not I'm working toward cutting the front fenders. Im not totaly happy how the cut turned out, it got a bit wavy & I ran out of time. I'll fix it later. Here is some pics. It was a 2" from bottom.

I had a thought today after passing a fancy Ford Raptor on the trail with a flat tire. The 80 Series is like personally ground French roast coffee in a press, or a local craft IPA on tap: either you get it or you don't. BTW, of the rigs I saw on the more remote trail today only two weren't Toyota. One was a custom, Honda powered rail and the other was the Raptor. Everything else said Toyota. Interesting. And two others were 80's.

Changed the oil/filter yesterday.

I've been investigating a suspension clunk for a while now. Haven't found it yet. I did find out that a tie rod jamb nut was LOOSE though...

 

[Kentex Rick]

Took the boy to Dirty Turtle off road park. Got hung up on a log in the first 10 minutes! Just a bunch of mud after that.

 

[Kentex Rick]

Then spent an hour and a half washing it! IH8MUD!

 

[Irish Reiver]

Spent 2 hours setting up the new amps I installed a few weeks back. A rather tedious job and certainly not one I am cut out to do. On the other hand I got to listen to "Black Betty" countless times. Probably the best amp setup tune ever....

Next time when you know your gonna be around mud ... pre spray your rig with wd 40 ... all over the wheels, wheel wells, etc. .... makes washing it off way easier....
