What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (73 Viewers)

[SeaJay]

used it to tow the new boat home, 36c outside temp but it managed it, did hit 95c on the engine temp, and 112c transmission, but that was with the air con on full and the boat weighs 3 ton

Any chance you have more details on this in a separate thread somewhere?

There's a bunch of info in this thread, not all of my install, but lots of good info:

Webasto install HDJ81

Thanks brother. Strange feeling turning the 'big 40'.

No! That's what a finger in the oil port is supposed to feel like Lol!

Took the family and friends to the Christmas lighting in Leavenworth and stayed a couple nights. The sledding hill in town was packed so that made for a good excuse to go on some forest roads to sled.







Cheers,

I love that little town. Bought an Infiniti Q45 for a motor swap into my 91 pathfinder years ago..it was just after Christmas too. Beautiful. The guy I bought the car from owns a few bars there.

Lol. Used to have a shirt back in the day that said "I only date crack whores".

Sent from my SM-G925V

What is it? A nice creeper.

No she already has several creepers on here. Doubt her husband would want her to have another Lol!

Lunch at Pfriem Brewery in Hood River with my niece after a snow day at Little John Sno Park.

My 80 right out front...

I flushed out the cooling system and found a LOT of rust. I flushed it out 5 times and finally there wasn't any more. Woof. Filled with Red and distilled. All better now.

Thanks a lot.

Got the manual seat slides cleaned up and boxed up. Sending your way tomorrow. They are still a little dirty and need some more cleaning up with a toothbrush. One has a little bit of surface rust that needs to be sanded and rattle can sprayed. But overall they good. Bolts to attach to your seat are in a ziplock Baggie. You'll reuse the mounting bolts for the feet to the floor.

Putting some pics here so you can see how they go back together. There is a cable that goes from the handle side to the other side to release the other side.

I've put it off for a little while now. Have had the birf soup and losing grease from my knuckles. Wasn't concerned about wear or hurting anything as I change my diff fluid every 6 months regardless but it was time.

Plus I think I have a wheel bearing loose so if I'm going to tear in to that I may as well do it all.

It's nice dealing with Kurt because he knows his s***. As do CDan and Beno. It's great to have guys that know their s***.

Concur. If it weren't for all the people on here who know what they are talking about it, I would have been f'd on maintenance issues multiple times since Oct.

I started chasing electrical faults today. I have intermittent left rear turn signal failure which goes away when I kick the panel.

Traced it to a multiple wire juncture.

I've also had the rear windscreen wiper turning on by itself and am wondering if those two malfs are linked.

Sounds like bad earth in the rear.

I replaced my master cylinder. You can see all the crud in the bottom of the reservoir.
I ended up with a really soft brake pedal coming home from some winter wheeling. New master and a brake flush and shes good to go!

Went for a trip in 114F no heating issues

Put mine through some extreme water ingress testing. It passed...

4" of rain here in the past 24 hours...
