What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (66 Viewers)

[Rob1983]

Over the last week: Remote Start & Push button start cleanup, new tires. Also cleaned her up and rainx'd all the glass (supposed to rain all week).
Getting down to the last few necessary mechanical fixes before I start lining up parts for body work.

Keep us posted, always interested to see how a modified turbo goes

Most of the details are in the Gturbo alternative thread in the diesel section, when it's all done and dynoed the results will posted up there. Certainly not gonna run as much boost as you, I'm only looking for 15 to 18psi. No inter cooler yet and I'm still on my original pump on a 400,000km old motor. I'll be keeping an eagle eye on the egt gauge that's for sure.

And here is my fully decked out workshop where my neighbours get to watch me fix my junk. The best cruiser gets the best parking spot.

@Aloha Jen great pictures as always! Hopefully I can get out on one of the trails when my ship pulls in for a few days.

Thanks! You should if you have the time, so many great places to see here.

Doesn't appear to be even one square inch that isn't coveded with mud! You are thorough, I'll give you that!

We had a single mission in mind hah!
It was a great way to stress test the new truck, I'm having a blast with it!

Really? That's funny because if I had to repaint mine I would want it a dark forest green!

Aloha Jen, the color Is dark emerald pearl, code 6M1. If the clear Is good and buffed, Its a beautiful color. Good Luck..!

Yes we did, '86 HJ60, officially a 2 cruiser family now.

 

[Trail Mule]

Replaced the inner and outer bearings and all that comes with that, and while I was in there I replace the brake pads that didn't have much life in them.

Very cool! Was this already on the island, or did you have to import it from elsewhere? Looks to be LHD?
