I have them sitting in parts box also but I torqued the inner nuts to 25lbs and it hasn't come loose yet after 2 years so I assume he will be fine for a long time.

Drove 300km to Brisbane on Saturday night after working 11hrs. Bought new injectors and fuel filter on Sunday morning, fitted them in the afternoon. Then drove 300km back to chinchilla, overheated on the range with 200km to go. Found the flange on the back of the turbo leaking causing big heat soak in the engine bay and the crappy aftermarket fan clutch had completely failed. Used crappy old silicone from a truck stop to seal up the exhaust and attempted to duct tape the fan clutch to the hub. Duct tape lasted about 2 minutes before it got torn off, babied it the next 200km and got to chinchilla by 11 and promptly fell asleep.
It's not the duct tape. It even works on submarines. You just have to use enough of it.

it all depends where the DUCK tape was made and if it was "duck" or duct tape..
I guess I wasn't too clear on that one. Duck tape works in submarines.
Took the family up to Glacier of a little pre-season camping. Not much off-road, a trip to Polebridge for breakfast was as rough as it got.
What's that white thing in the second picture?

That white thing looks like a Siberian Highland Labra-Husky Mala-Mix
I thought it was a boulder.

So this past week/weekends I took the 80 on two camping / offroading trips. I went to Harlan, KY with my jeep friends and explored some areas where Fourwheeler magazine went for their ultimate adventure. I also went to red river gorge Ky with some other friends for a bachelor party. The 80 performed well but I desperately need to replace my rear lower control arm bushings after this trip. Here are a few pics:
Harlan, KY
I played jeep recovery vehicle multiple times.
Red River Gorge
some weird bugs I found / salamander
Ok, photodump over. haha

Got some expert help setting the base timing on the Golden Goose. Same expert help welded engine mount to frame because I still haven't learned my lesson about buying aftermarket parts from the rainforest/river web site. Then changed oil on the sewing machine engines (gen 2 and gen 5).

I went out to Little Sahara Sand Dunes with some friends to camp and explore some back roads.

You know everyone loves photos around here. I love the area around Red River Gorge. I've only ever been down there for rock climbing and some adventure racing. Haven't been back since buying my 80 series. Can't want to get down there and explore. I'm slowly gathering as much Intel as possible. Were you following part of the KAT while down there?
