Checked air in tires
Change oil&filter 180,000
Fill gas tank
Waiting on box of parts from Beno
Did you ever think this thread would go 1200 pages?
 
I'm tired of tightening up this driver side front bearing once a month, I picked up some TG units... we will see how these work out? Those alen bolts are real small.

I trust the Allen bolts more than I do that thin washer in the little groove on the spindle. I know they tried to copy what goes on with our rear spindles but back there the washer is 3x as thick.
 
Winched up some bushes for my parents, love my winch!
 
Cleaned up the swingout latch a little. Moved the rest pad to the arm from Bumper shell and added a travel stop so i dont bump the gate

Placed my new steelies on some boxes to "Mock them up", they'll be wrapped in Toyo MT 255/85R16 shortly :wrench:
Paint is Valspar Massey Ferguson Gray, tractor heavy-duty paint.

Did you spray the paint on? Looks good, are those Tacoma steelies?
 
Parked the Camry behind the 93. Went to back out the 93. :bang::bang::bang: SONUVABITCH!

Used my cheapo HF heat gun and pushed it back out.

Thankfully, no damage to the 80! :cheers:

Perfect tool to have. I have one for the 90310-33085 (4x/5x/6x/7x truck inner oil seals) as well. I highly recommend one of these.

Oh yeah, I am not working on my 80, but I am working on an 80. :)

Nice to turn a wrench on an 80 every once in awhile. Reminds me of the old days. It's like riding a bike. Don't even think about it really now.

Lost compression in cylinder #2 on the way back to colorado from Rubithon in June. The truck was then shipped to Robbie Antonson in Boulder where it then went under the knife. Thanks for helping us figure out the shipping @beno. I finally picked it up Friday evening after a full engine rebuild and exhaust job.

After picking it up I headed to @SmokingRocks place to help him get his 80 back together.

Robbie brought me up to speed on how to break the engine in and told me a few good roads to go drive near Fort Collins, so yesterday (Saturday) the girlfriend and I took off towards Gould and the Never Summer Wilderness. Found the Silver Creek Trail and took off up it. Was not disappointed at all and saw some moose in the meadow that we camped at. Definitely glad to have the 80 back.

That tool would have been a life saver about a week a go!
