What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (63 Viewers)

[LandCruiserPhil]

I'm getting the Renogy 100watt kit with an additional 100watt panel. Not positive if I'm going to go with an ARB fridge or if I'm going another route. Haven't decided yet. I'll post a link with what I'm planning later.

100 watt alone will run a fridge

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Clipped the end of my prototype front bumper to make the non-flare version. Finished up all the light/LED mount holes, wing stiffners and end plates. Finished all the rear bumper items as well.

Tuesday I'm headed to the laser cutter with everything and should have 4 new bumper offerings in very short order.

Thanks to @LS1FJ40 @warezdog for the push I needed to get these going again and a few others that have already placed orders on the new front and rear bumpers.

Thanks all,

Jason

FLARED

 

[LS1FJ40]

Yeah, I know. From what I've read a fridge takes about 60-70% of the energy that a 100watt produces. I have two thoughts: a) I live in Iowa where it doesn't sways get "sunny" and like the idea of a little extra b) the Renogy unit is 21" wide and 47" long. I like the idea of them being mounted side by side making it more symmetrical.

Plus as they age they will lose some efficiency and I'll still have the capacity.

Most excellent. The only bad thing about them is that now everyone is going to have them. I wanted to be the only one!

I haven't taken her out in weeks. My OCD got ahold of me and I peeled off a lot of the PO's liner job. Poor prep; he warned me.



Nice urban sunset

 

[woodsman 44]

Stuffed with 7 saws (Stihl of course) 3 climb bags, 5 rigging rope bags and a bunch of other junk to get to the trunk for tree work...could have fit a fair bit more but didnt need the kitchen sink...

140ft ish dead ponderosa pine

my view

14 dead pines on the ground

 

[LS1FJ40]

Damnit @woodsman 44! The vertigo! You're killing me!

In the one pic it looks like the tree is crushing your 80.

I'll probably do some BC skiing/snowboarding this weekend...

 

[Aloha Jen]

Got a little camera happy with an impromptu jungle photo shoot. Couldn't help myself....it looked like it was in its natural habitat.
Beautiful day at Mamala Bay~

 

[rjinga]

If you wheel anything with moderate difficulty you want sliders. Some of them tuck up quite nicely.

What he said.

 

[McGrinnan]

Did a much needed oil change, t-case fluid change and top engine cleaner which believe it or not did a ton! Old gal smoked for miles but is a night and day difference in how smooth she's running. Lastly I got my last air filter the 80 will ever need. (No I'm not selling the 80)

I would definitely say it was needed. It was much heavier and you could hear the sand when shook.

picture makes it look smaller bit it's exact same size all the way around.

I bought a younger sister for my 92. She's a 93, 310k on the clock. Yes, with a 1FZ-FE. I'm more shocked than all of you! And she has the much coveted 3X Locked feature for handling the rough Iowa parking lots. And yes, she's green, for now... Thanks to Joey (@NLXTACY) for going to look at it and handling the transaction for me. Gave me incredible peace of mind knowing he was taking care of it. Can't say enough good things about him doing this. He recommended that I look out in Cali. Then agreed to go look at it and check it out. I wired him the money today and he handled it. Thanks bro.

Will there be a head gasket PM in your future?

 

[LS1FJ40]

Haha. I don't know about as PM. She sounds pretty strong. No tell tale signs of blowing. There is plenty of other "stuff" to be done in the meantime. But I am setting aside $1500 as "insurance" for if/when it does go...

Is it overheating yet?

 

[RiverCityDave]

drove it to work, I want an ARB but also like the clean look of the stock bumper, wish mine wasn't dented in the middle

Dude, nice ride. Are those 315s?
