What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (50 Viewers)

[rockstate45]

I recently had it exhaust rust out at the bracket on the muffler. Today was the first opportunity I had to fix it. After this, will be cleaning the car. Don't worry, I asked the tech if he wanted me to wash the underside before and it didn't bother him.

The changes are an improvement. Since you're already cutting....I say remove the outer brush guard tubes and take a few inches off the width of the bumper and it will look great.

I do plan on cutting the part of the sides off. The corner where the tube tied onto the bumper lined up the fender so I will leave it.

Local fabricator finished my bumper up. Everything is good except I need some spring pins to hold the swing outs in place when I open them.

Some pics of the underside... Looks like it hangs down just a smidgen under the bumper.

Rounded up two more aluminum rims, stayed late last night and coated them all with Cardinal powders "steel grey" in the windows and Tiger "kromezone" on the spokes, then clear on it all. Looks very much like factory 40th/CE wheels. Took them today and mounted my winter Yokohama 285 tires

Installed my new struts today. They came yesterday but I was at work late and didn't feel like doing it. So after I smacked my head this morning I took the 3 minutes to replace them. Thanks to Jason aka CruiserYard aka @arcteryx for easy and quick delivery!

Your Cruiser has Texas plates? Is this common knowledge, or...?

 

[Dragos80]

He shares an intimate relationship with Texas.

Yes. I lived in Texas. This the hatred for Texas. I'm not just a "Yankee" that hates Texas because it's fashionable. I have countless reasons.

I owned property in Texas until two years ago and just kept renewing my plates because a) I'm lazy and could do it by mail and b) it was cheap. However, the state of Texas has caught on and won't renew anymore so I need to register it here in Iowa. Someday.

F&$# Texas!

Finally got around to shaping four badges for the rear hatch. It will only say LAND CRUISER in a wide font. I believe grizzlygibbs, stylo07 and I think one other member requested one. Tomorrow night I laser!

4x4 Labs with 2 cans with hi-lift mount and spare tire carrier, I welded up a bracket for tools behind tire. There's a group buy going on now, can't recommend enough. I wouldn't hesitate to lift the whole truck by the recovery points
