What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (48 Viewers)

I can't believe I'm saying this...

It's only a car.

You wouldn't be saying that if you owned a 1FZ-FE!

I've heard of guys buying Cherokee gutter mounts and using them for a light bar. It might be in search...

Cool, found a link in this thread actually

You wouldn't be saying that if you owned a 1FZ-FE because it would be sitting in the garage have the head gasket replaced!

FIFY

Got stuck in traffic on Highway 50 going up to Tahoe, my 11mo old boy obviously didn't like getting stuck on his car seat!

But he was happy when I let him stand behind the wheel ( still stopped in traffic obviously ).

Then after getting early dinner, to my surprise, a well built 80 was parked next to mine, then I finally put a face on the name/mud handle @HaringBagsik... Nice to finally meet you!

when you fiddle with teh diverter pls take some pix Im trying to put mine to work but I guess prior owner got fed up and disconnected
can seem to find the hose to the back in the front some pix would certalinly assist me

Pics from my phone. I'll have to edit later maybe.

In its natural habitat, drivers side, behind the ABS valve thingie:

[surfpig]

Well those sure sucked!

Anyway, trace the hose from the pump, over the firewall, it plugs into the bottom of the valve. The one for the windshield washer plugs into the top (?) of the diverter. The one for the rear window washer plugs into the side (?) of the diverter. That hose can be found leading into a grommet on the firewall in the corner near that valve. I will update when I actually get the replacement installed correctly.

I never knew about any of this. This could be why when I activate my rear washer the front one comes on instead?

Audi/VW uses a trick way to do it. It's a single pump with two outlets. Run pump one way and it pumps out one outlet to the front. Reverse the polarity and the pump runs the reverse direction and fluid comes out the other outlet and go to the rear.

Got mine back from the Line-x place. It started snowing before i could put it all back together again.

@concretejungle, nice truck... What/where did you source those rivets from the fenders? I need to cover mine as well and I like the way those looked!

I've seen them at Lowes in the hardware dept. White and black.

 

[pilotuku]

Looks like a road trip to Lowes/Home Depot...

Thanks @AMMO, oh, by the way, I hate yours and Jose's rigs.... I won't even buy them for $5k... not a chance.. LoL...

Seriously, I admire all the work you guys did on those... I wish I had the time and skills....

 

[concretejungle]

Yep, Ammo nailed it... they are at Lowes. I followed JFZ80's lead on them. I don't recall the part number but i can look again. I do remember that lowes has them and home depot does not. I "think" it's a GM body clip. They fit really snug. I used some automotive adhesive on them so when they snapped in they were also glued in. I let that dry before the Line-x guy sprayed it.

 

[concretejungle]

Installed new LED headlights. I have not been able to drive at night yet to test them (truck has been apart getting line-x) but in the pics you can see the difference between the OEM and the new LED.

Yes. Go to Lowe's. It is a known fact that Lowe's is cooler and likes Land Cruisers. Home Depot is lame and likes Heeps. Fact.

This post is no way influenced by the fact that I am employed by Lowe's.

Visited Anza Borrego State Park
Lunch break after a long hike to Goat Trestle Bridge

Lunch after a strenuous hike to Hidden Springs (maybe not in the park)

Finding a private camp spot is easy at 9pm in Anza Borrego

Which led did you use?

 

[concretejungle]

Last two pics for now so i'm not polluting the thread. Here is a close up of the line-x sprayed over the plastic body clips. I think it turned out pretty good.
