What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (90 Viewers)

[NCFJ54]

Got nothing done. Decided to do spark plugs. Decided to start with the plug closest to the fire wall as some have said that one gives them difficulty. I got the plug lose and as I was pulling my socket up it fell off and went behind the motor. Spent an hour and a half trying to find it and can't!!!!!!!!!!

Never seen this man smile more today than the few years I've known him!

New drawers?

 

[NLXTACY]

New drawers?

Couldn't pass up the deal I got

Now I've got a long list of mods to do to this thing because there are a few things I don't like about or to just make it a little more functional. The locks for one...need to be Medeco and keyed alike to my other stuff

Oh and I hate the grey and the type of carpeting. Ugh.

 

[vapilotda]

They do. I especially love the 5th gen 4Runner forums.

1. Black out your emblems
2. Install interior LED lights
3. Add TRD decals
4. Post thread saying hey bros check out my "build"

But I do like my buddy's 3rd gen

So true!

My contribution to the 4Runner posts (Hilux Surf, so same but better!). T-boned and rolled (hit & run) about 4 years ago now, and still drove me home (landed back on the tires luckly).

Do you always smile like that when change your drawers?

Ugh, hate it!

I usually just turn them inside out.

@NLXTACY where is your back row divider from? Custom or?

@Corbet
Speski OffRoad

 

[JDMark]

I removed my rusty aftermarket hitch and rotted spare wheel - so much more room for activities! + departure angle

Now I'll get a rear recovery point that bolts to the 4 bumper holes from man-a-fre

 

[GA Trevor]

@schradec the divider is a speski cargo barrier. Found here Speski Cargo Barriers

Did some maintenance on the LX

Flushed the power steering fluid and glad I did it, looked dark and it was low

I flushed it with Dextron, ran about 2 quarts thru it to get old fluid out.

Filled and it sounds quiet, smoother turning and no more errrr sound when turning!

Bleed out old brake fluid and changed rear brakes pads as well...needed this bad too

changed out the "dizzy" O ring seal and no leaks so far.....


clean with some simple green and you could eat off of it

 

[orttauq]

Ok, that looks great, and i had myself convinced i shouldn't try this myself. I've done my 70 Chevelle and my old 65 Mustang but figured it was too technical to make look great. How many job would you say it is?

but then I am also replacing ALL the hoses in the cooling system so to me re-doing the seats is a nice break. Some of the hoses are hella-hard to get to.
I had to order new foam for drivers and re-weld the frame so that stalled the that side a few days.

That is the biggest black hole. I lost a 12mm socket and after an hour of trying to find it I just went and bought a new one. It'll fall out some day on the freeway with a pling and ker-thunk. Will be like 'what was that?? OH...I remember'

 

[Dragos80]

That's funny.

There is no way I can lose any tools like that.
I never change spark plugs. On any car.

Wasn't the weekend but I used my 93 to haul my tools (and some extras for others to use) and some of the materials for this project. Shout out to my employer, Lowe's, for letting me donate the materials for the fence, raised garden beds, and pergola for this neighborhood.

This is one of the oldest and most neglected parts of town. There were a handful of groups doing work in the neighborhood. I'm a little biased but ours turned out the coolest and most functional.

Fixable?
