What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (44 Viewers)

[GW Nugget]

I got the rear Slinkies in... now she is level. All corners are within .25" of 3" of lift.

I relaxed all my control arm bushings with a 15/16" & 7/8" combo wrenches & my feet. So that would be in foot pounds of torque correct?

Should I remind everybody how you lubed my shafts, while I had my hands inside my pockets?

Am sad

Thank you

This is also very true and I agree, honestly I don't care if you guys give me a hard time but then some people take it too far and it can get a bit annoying

Is me. I'm 12.

ROCK ON! DUDE YOU ARE 12! You get all kinds of free passes. Keep asking questions! I got your back! I wasn't even thinking about cars when I was 12. This is awesome!

Leave something to imagination, will you?

If you are actually 12 years old, you really handle the flak like a champ. It's rare to see someone so even-keeled in the face of the usual internet harassment. And rarer still to see anyone under 20 using some semblance of grammar. I'm impressed (or should I say dubious that you are actually a kid and not a troll?)

I got a new removable spare tire, gas can, bike hitch chingadera and took it up to the mountains for some fun. I love the area of the Rim that is about 5,500' to 7,800' in elevation--big trees, lot's of showers, fun 4x4 spots, etc.

I agree

If I showed up to pick up my date in a "big" SUV that can get way back off the main road.... I dont think I would have been allowed to date much

From Florida to Georgia... Went on a camping / wheeling trip with my friends for the long weekend.

Had a really good time there.

Are you running spacers on those 17 inch FJ/4runner rims?

 

[bloc]

bump stop spacers, finally. Somehow able to get the bolts out of the frame without breaking them off.. And I want to find spacers for the in-spring bumpstop on the rear.

of course I forget to take pics but.. new lower seat cushion. Initial impressions are that it was well worth the $180. No more driver's backside lean. And pretty easy to do.

Continued tweaking for the upcoming durango/silverton/ouray/telluride/white rim trip. I loaded everything up as a test and headed to a commercial scale.. ~5980 with me in it. It's a cow.. but shouldn't get much heavier. Forgot to separate the axles on the scale though.. will head back this weekend.

Went to the grocery store twice to get steaks, but only came home with them once. By the time we'd realized dinner was missing last night, it wasn't legal to drive back.

Meaning you couldn't legally operate a vehicle? or is it against the law to drive past a certain time?

1167 pages later you ask?

I had to review. Oh yeah, that was back when I was still drinking, usually Fin du Monde. After a couple of those, no one is street-legal.

I somehow didn't realize I was reading the first page. And that's without any beer on board...

But yes.. Fin is a legit reason not to drive.

Not yet the weekend but I added a joying head unit and this weekend I'll be finishing up the reverse cam and all new speakers in the doors and dash.

Hit the Tahoe end of Rubicon at 9pm Friday and wheeled in to Buck Island Reservior through the night, alone. It took 6.5 hours, a couple of winches and high lift Jack sessions and one shattered rear hatch window but very rewarding as there is little room to error especially when you are solo. I spent three nights on the trail and headed out the Loon Lake end Monday. As usual I met lots of great people and saw some nice rigs. My photos are boring as I can't snap cool pics while I'm drive but I'll work on it.

Hey Steve, what's with you and the night wheeling... Alone!

Hey Steve, what's with you and the night wheeling... Alone!

I'm a glutton for punishment! Haha! I love the challenge, and the sense of solitude but if you ever want to come that would be great!

Thoughts on the Joying device?? Is it worth it??

 

[ERG80]

I've only had it in two days but I like it so far. The bluetooth connection with my iPhone is good and no issues playing Pandora. That's about all the testing I've done. I'll try to follow up after I have more time to play with it

Pulling in to grab a bite to eat and drive past this thing. My son says,
"that Land Rover has Land Cruiser dirt on it". I love my boy
