Sorry to hear about your wife Joey. For some reason I'm not getting notifications for this thread. Weird.

Haven't been on mud a ton lately. Been crazy working since I'm taking next week off for the journey to LA to pick up another 80 to drive back. But I did sneak in a little fishing with my son this past weekend. And tonight.

And picked up new drive belts for the new 80. Got a suitcase full of parts and stuff for the trip ready!

We were fishing for large mouth bass and this crappie chomped on a chatterbait. Good size crappie.

285/75r16 KO2 vs 255/85r16 KM2

KO2 is unmounted, or it would be a bit shorter.

I have the 255, it's a beast, drives nice on freeways too.

The $3 relays I ordered finally got here. The Army Postal System has a slow boat.

Substituted a starter relay for the EFI relay as per various threads on this forum.

Am I missing something in this fuse box? Seems to be some empty spots, though the truck runs ok without them.

What's a CDS fan? An EFI/starter relay is way too sloppy in that slot.
 
I too just did something similar.

I found the starter-cut relay from the old alarm system I took out is a good substitute for the EFI relay.

So I found a home for it here.

Do either of you know the specs on these relays? Just wondering if I can get one locally instead of spending $80 on an overpriced Toyota one
 
Yes, the standard short gutter feet. That is unistrut bars on the side. The regular square Thule cross bars fit perfect inside the unistrut channel, then just painted black. It was always a temporary homemade deal until something more solid could be put up there. Thanks.
Jen, good timing on this comment...I'm looking at the Thule square bar setup. Thule's catalog for a 80-series gutter mount points to the High Foot Pack (387's). Are you running the shorter gutter feet (300's)? I don't like the higher feet and was hoping someone could confirm the standard feet fit A OK. Thx.

I don't know the different product numbers of the feet, but my LC came with some rediculously tall Thule feet, and I was able to find some used shorter ones that are on there currently. Here are some pics, don't know if you can tell the different sizes from the photos.

You can sort of see the amount of clearance you get between the bar and roof.

Not the weekend but figured I'd make it official. Joey's new coffee house opened in Marion, IA.

To keep this "tech" I noticed this place when I pulled over because I heard a rattle coming from the exhaust and discovered one of the heat shields was loose. The clamp had given up so I will replace it when I get back to work (Lowe's).

I hurried up and got out of there before my truck started over heating!

Got started on my LS conversion... Labeling old wiring harness, pulling parts that won't get reused. Realized I red lock tighted my DS bolts and nuts, never using red on them again... Blue it is... If I only had a working air compressor to use my impact (replacing compressor head this weekend...) if you wanna follow my build its under "the catamaran is getting a new boat anchor" don't have much on there as of yet but I will be postin prelim pix this weekend...
