I'm glad someone got a kick out of it! I was at work and bored! I had to go over to freaking Pirate! I feel how I feel after going to Walmart... my IQ is now lower. Must. Read. Book.

Listened to my power steering make noise again. It stopped for a couple months after flushing the fluid but now it whines when it gets hot. I might try a cooler or some good hydraulic oil. Had a great trip though. It's a rocky, washed out trail all the way up to this spot. Easy but fun to do.

Wow, where is that?
 
Got two of these in the mail today. They will be installed in the rear bumper for back up lights.

They were cheap. $18.99...

Will do. I was contemplating doing the YodaTeq mounts at the hatch and some lights. Or mounting lights on my rack. But I wanted something fairly easy, cheap, and out of the way. My order the spots for the front bumper too as flood lights...

Most importantly, they are cheap. If they get mashed or eaten by salt I won't care as much.

Definitely can't go wrong at that price, assuming they don't crap out the first time they get wet. I'm thinking about putting them in my stock front bumper first. Can't decide between rear bumper or yodateq mounts for the back though.

I really like the YodaTeq mounts. Frank nailed it on that one. I just am trying to watch my budget before my trip. I may end up getting the YodaTeq mounts down the road but for the time being I'm only out $20.

I'll put the spots in the front bumper. I'll double check the water tightness when I get home. If need be I'll open them and seal them with RTV.
 
Bummed out: I thought I was on my final primer coat and discovered that these two Rustoleum primer types are incompatible! (I know, I should have stuck with the etching primer the whole way through, but it had more filler than I wanted.) Imagine my disgust as this crackle finish begins to appear. Be warned...

Same thing happened on my valve cover. Putting the last coat on and I watched it crack like that, I was not too happy
 
So not the weekend and not really 80 series related although the 80 was used so I think I can post this. My girlfriend was in an accident a few weeks ago

and we have been scrambling like mad to find all the parts needed to fix her 1986 4Runner that is her DD. This past weekend we scored big and a guy down in Aurora was sending a parts 4Runner to scrap and let us cannibalize the hell out of it for FREE! Got 75% of what we needed and this other guy from Cheyenne asked for pics of the 4Runner and brought us everything else we needed for $100. We have had incredible luck with parts! The next challenge was moving the 4Runner from her dads house where it was towed to after the accident to her house where we would be doing all the work. Insert the mighty Land Cruiser here.

Got the 4Runner to her house around 10 o'clock yesterday and after much running around gathering supplies it was looking like this around 8 pm

And at about 9:30 we had the new clip mocked up. Need to trim about a quart inch off the driver side but so far so good!

Big thanks to @SmokingRocks for being a surgeon with a cut off wheel!

Nice. Unfortunately you didn't follow Mud protocol. Lowe's is the official big box hardware store of choice for Mud. Not the orange box. Come on man! Support my employer! :p

Haha! If only they carried Simpson StrongTie products (who is my fathers employer) which Home Depot does! Have to support pops first!

Good work, but needs more V8. Are you going to drop on a new tube bumper or throw something bigger and beefier on? I reccomend bigger!

Yeah I think the official MUD supplier is just whatever mis-matched hardware people find in their garages... :hillbilly:

4 more cylinders in addition to the 4 that are there would be awesome. Something new on the bumper side for sure. Just haven't figured out what yet
 
Wasn't in my 80 but spent the weekend in Chase2 for Canguro Racing at the Baja1000. After a broken front A-arm at race mile 346 we lost the lead and were trailing the class leaded by 4 hrs at the time this video was shot coming into our final pit at RM730. In the last 120 miles we closed almost the entire gap but sadly came up just short, finishing in 2nd place only 14 min behind Baja legend Rod Hall. Also worth noting that we beat the Factory backed 2017 Ford Raptor by 3+ hours.
