I love the color on your 80. I'm going to look into tinting my montaliner with Subaru desert Khaki H6Q. I have the yeti 35 and thought that was all there was room for beside a 35" tire. I stand corrected!

Nice shot! And anyway, if your spring is not putting down force on the tire you won't get useful traction so what you need is coil overs and longer arms. We need to keep the dust off our winches anyhow. Keep these kind of photos coming!!
If you like that you'll like these old ones on John Bull earlier this year. This was just kind of bad technique on my part, picking the harder line when I could have easily picked a different line....

Awesome! I didn't know Subaru had a beige. You might not have to tint the monstaliner. @duggy monstalined his 100 in one of their colors and it's an awesome looking beige/tan.
When I bought the Yeti there was no way I was going with a smaller one since the inside was a lot smaller than I anticipated. I have never seen another 45 on a swing out, but there was no way I was not going to make it fit and downsize my cooler. If only I had made the basket an inch wider I could have fit 4 Jerry cans in it.
I know its a "German thing", but that Subaru beige is very popular in this region of Germany, as is their gray which is very reminiscent of "Feldgrau". There are bunch of new Foresters running around here in those two colors.

Everyone else is going to the snow so why not me?
Family Snow Trip 1-16-16
As things came into alignment, pay day, day off & good weather the family made quick plans to make a snow trip. It turns out the 4x4Him group was also doing a snow run to lower Bald Mountain area. So we met up with them & made a day out of it.
We where able to get to the grean gate entrance (I'm guesing 5 miles) which was way more further than reports from other groups weeks back. By then it was 1pm, time to turn around & head back out. That took several hours as some groups behind us wanted to push forward as we were wanting to go back out creating a traffic jam. As we had to blaze another lane of travel back out. I didn’t count, but guessing about 40 rigs with 8 groups of people wanting to do different things. Crazy at best.
I was promising the kids all that day we would go sledding & tubing. As the sun was getting closer to the horizon I was getting a bit worried about it. (OK, I was getting frustrated with the traffic jam.)
We arrive safley back to Dinky Creek Road with just enough day light left to air up & allow the kids some sled & tubing runs.
The Lord is Good to us. We all had a great time, the kids got to get out & exspend their pined up energy. I can only imagine being a kid sitting a rig most of the day basically parked hoping to go sledding the whole time. That being said they did great!
Below is some pics & even video of the day.
Awesome! Looks like a good time was had. Sucks about traffic. I hate that. This is why I installed a flip down DVD player in my 80 when my kids were younger. This was before good cell phone service and all that. Could pop in a movie and wheel my 80 to get to wherever we were going. I keep saying I'm going to take the DVD player out but never get around to it.
I got tired of getting turned around and upside down, direction wise in this land of no straight roads, and shelled out a whopping $9.99 for this:
I discovered that the fan will deflect the compass 3-5 degrees clockwise when turned to full, and I can live with that. This thing is dead nuts on, engine running or not. It also serves as a rough declinometer.
Ironically, my co-worker has a Mercedes crossover (the white one with the roof rack in the background of the picture) with a hugely expensive electronic one that just randomly spits out cardinal directions which are always significantly off.
I plan on rubbing his nose in it in a few moments.

went wheeling, tried to spoil a jeep poser shot, fried my 2nd fusible link in 4 months while on the trail , jumpered the grey connector to power the ecu so i could make it home...

I found it at the local military gas station, off the shelf.
I imagine these are available just about anywhere, web or bricks and mortar.
I took this picture coming home tonight.

Went snow wheeling, made it about 350 yds before spending the next 2 hours turning around using the winch only. My GF is a great co-driver with a super good attitude. Bummer part was that the EFI fuse kept blowing due to the huge amount work the poor engine had to do. I'm guessing some snow is shoving the O2 harness in the wrong direction or maybe the harness by the EGR needs to be revisited again. Friend with a 4Runner came down with more fuses and then got himself stuck! On the way back out, we had to recover a Ford Escape.
It was a good day.
It was a good day.
Finished up the head gasket. Not super hard but a lot of work. I easily put in 10 hours or reassembly. It fired right up but now the transmission is buzzing. WTF? On a bright side, bought a 2015 200 series after a drunk driver took out my pristine 100 series. Land cruiser and loving it!
Pics of the 200?
This just happened...

Well...... We work on both 80's this weekend..
The 93'
Give her a reeeaaally good bath and installed a new KENWOOD DDX372BT head unit.. Liking it it a lot so far.
Also installed a 5" OME on the virgin 94'.. first mod to her! she was BONE STOCK!!!
Still don't know what tires to get to both of them.. The 93' will be the priority, it has Nitto 285/75/16 on J springs and surely look small... 315's or 35 will be the size to go.. Still don't know what to get...
