What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (83 Viewers)

If you don't look back, you bought the wrong car

I do it to remind myself which vehicle I was driving. Nothing like spending 20 min looking for the wrong vehicle.

Pretty straightforward. Had to grind down a small portion of the tailgate as the latches wouldn't fully close. (@reevesci actaully told me this would be the case) Only took 10 minutes with a dremmel. Now it closes smooth as silk.

Feels like the tailgate latch is rubbing slightly as well. So I'm going to fiddle with it sometime this week when I have some time.

Other than that it was super easy. I'll add a few more pics to my build thread showing a some of the process.

Perfect! This is what I plan on tackling on I have min running.

Who here still has to turn around for one last look before they walk away from their 80?
Is that what they call "The Addiction"?

Man, I love your stance. I need to get shorter springs in the back of my rig.

I do it to see that the lights flashed since the alarm tone is no worky.

Yep simply pride of ownership. When I don't do that anymore, its just another car and it usually goes up for sale soon after I realize it.

Still stuck in the dark ages is what I call it Of all the countries in the world, only three backwaters still use the archaic Imperial system of weights and measures: Liberia. Myanmar (a.k.a. “the country formerly known as Burma”) & the United States of America.

There are two types of people out there.
The ones who use the metric system and ones who landed on the Moon.

I was thinking the same thing

Does look good. Do you happen to know the distance from the centre of those hubs to the top of the wheel arch?

It comes out to 4.5" lift right now. The wiinch should bring it down.
Adding the 1" body lift, it sits at 24.5" ish at all corners center hub to bottom of flares.

622.3mm

"Level" 80s always look like the rear is sagging to me.

My mind has been warped by the stinkbug.

It's the body lines. They aren't level to begin with.

There is a 2" rake or stinkbug built inot the body lines of the 80 series. Even when they sit level the still look nose down to me, but I come from the prerunner desert back ground. The turning & handling in the corners is much better level or lower. I've had my rig high & low in the rear. It turns like a car now....

I was 2" low in the rear just recently & I put a bubble lever on my cladding... it was dead center level...

The metric system is better, we are just to lazy to convert.

I also would argue with the 1st to the moon comment.

Haha good one! At least we don't have Trump as head of state though

You're in for a new diverter valve - see post #15 for p/n: Washer fluid pump leaking...

That's exactly it!!!

Thank you!

The 2015 Camry is useless in the garage with factory tires, but the 80 with Hankooks is loving the Lk MI snow machine... I spent years hoping to realize the truck's winter potential and now it's being realized.

Bull****. Only one country has landed on the moon. The other one doesn't exist any more.

That is what I call "a clue".

Read. Comprehend. Think.

You're not far from Chester which is one of our favorite winter getaways in Ca. You found one of the best places to get lost.

I was just there tonight eating at happy garden and bar hopping in westwood, i love the whole area. It helps that I am a resident of that county

Only one country (USA) has put man on the moon.... But several have put objects on the moon.... Japan..... USSR..... China... there are probably more...
