What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (51 Viewers)

[bajaphile]

Yes it is. Got it on ebay for $146:

1918 Koyorad - Radiator

Exactly the same AD where I bought mine!

Beno hooked it up!

Added Pfran LED lights to my 96. Before and after.

Used it to haul the fat bike to the redwoods and stopped along the way for some poser shots.

Are those JDM cardboard? Seriously, the boxes are cool and all but what the hell is in them?!

Hehe
It's a radiator, water pump, and thermostat.

Installed OME stock height lift with Tokico OE shocks. Installed 255/80-17 Cooper ST-Maxx on FJ Cruiser steel wheels. New front brake pads and a new heater valve as well!

OH! Removed running boards!

Camping trip. Did enough winching to last me for a while. But no damage to either of the vehicles (that we know of) and no one got hurt. I would call that a success.

Nope, gauge is of by exactly 5psi. But definitely fast and very quiet.

Any compressor should have a discrepancy between the active cycle of pumping air in the tire and the off power when it measures the actual tire pressure.
Being slightly OCD (5% Joey), I don't trust the com pressure reading and I prefer to check it with a (I know what Joey is going to say here) cheap sliding gage. At least I keep it consistent.

This one is for you @Aloha Jen !! Went playing in some 2" of fresh powder snow up in Shasta
Drove all the way up to 6,950 ft elevation then turned around ahah. Didn't even air down!

First winter with the LC, tons of fun!!

In the way down I helped some peeps in a Honda Civic and slick tires that lost control and ended up sideways... Good times!

FAKE!

Since it's the year end, which seems like a weekend, I went to Big Bear with the family. Only my son and I had the guts to snowboard. My wife and daughter preferred to stay cozy and sip on hot chocolate. Apparently at 29F it's way too cold for those two.

The car drove beautifully. The only thing not so good is that I now have a pronounced wobble upon breaking hard(er). I guess a rotor replacement is in the cards for me. Not looking forward to it.

Oh, and since I replaced the headlights, I can see the road now at night. No need for extra lights. I'm not sure if the other drivers have a similarly positive and cheerful attitude about my lights.

Ratchet the OCD a tick and don't use a cheap ass tire gauge

 

[Dragos80]

I don't remember buying it. So a free tool is the best tool ever.

Nope, they're SCS F5

most accurate gauge in continental US

It has a novel concept of what it regards as a dangerous pressure. 200psi in a 33" BFG would be fun...

Perfect! Wonder if they will send to Australia.

These are a copy for Bradley V wheels, which are forged. They are about 2.5k in Japan tho

Where is that dinosaur park? My son would go crazy to see that.
