What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (71 Viewers)

[Corbet]

Very nice. Let us know how you like them. I believe Slee offers 3 different choices for length. Which did you use?

The 4" lift version. Don't recall the exact length specs. They came pre charged so I don't know what pressure they are currently at.

I'm on ironman 50mm springs with 30mm spacers. Going to swap out to Slee 4" springs as soon as funds allow.

Holy Crap, I just took my Cruiser off into a construction zone for the first time and I felt like it was the X games! 50mph power slide/drift on low 4wd. 30-40% grade. This thing is a BEAST. Had a blast. Crunched the front and back end multiple times. I am a pro welder. I need a good kit to lift my front bumper. I am not going to spend the money on a pre-built front end. I also need to get that damn tire off the bottom and get that stupid aftermarket trailerhitch off the back. At least that was all that was scraping. What a fun truck!!!

Got my bumper on. Install went well. Does everything I need it to. Looks nice.

Reattached my sway bars...

So I did this today. Clean.

But it does not work.

@Rob1983 nice photos mate. Man would I love to come wheel down there just once.

I've only seen a small bit of it too, so many more places to visit. Haha it's funny you say that, there was a couple from Denmark recently who brought their 6BT swapped GU bucket on 40" Treps over and did a lap. Thing broke down constantly lol but that's what happens when you put crap into crap , but it was LHD and they had no legal issues driving it anywhere over here. Stick yours on a boat and take a year off work

Thank you sir.

Hey @NLXTACY eat your heart out. This is how wiring is done. I offer private lessons on Sundays.

Wire nuts in a vehicle make me cringe bit time!

 

[malteserunner]

Why-er nuts!?!?

 

[GW Nugget]

I installed the trail gear front bumper. Hit it with some rust oleum hammered black, I'll either drop my 8274 warn on there (mods needed) or one of the other bottom mounts I decide on later. My only concern is the Ac dryer at the moment.View attachment 1282892 View attachment 1282893

How many inches do the front bars go out from the grill? How much room for a winch?

 

[musthave]

Drove it long and hard.
Daughter drove too.

 

[Rob1983]

might have also had a little tinker with the fuelling before the shoot. Injectors leaked, so they were rebuilt under warranty, and the pump needed a tickle to compensate for the changed crack pressures...and suddenly it runs 38psi at 18:1

 

[SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr]

Quite a bit of wiring stripping, soldering, and heat shrinking and then redoing that process when I forgot to add the heat shrink. I also cut out a switch plate and added it to the inside of the tent so the lights can be turned off from inside as well.

All just to ditch the free harbor freight hanging lights that have been in my tent for the past couple of years.

Which lights exactly did you end up using?

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I found some small 9W CREE rock lights I want to do this with. These are going on a customers trailer, but under a RTT sounds like a good place as well.
