Sprayed down all the suspension points on the wife's 80 getting it ready for the new TOUGH DOG suspension.

Did you get a new license plate?

 

[bloc]

To be perfectly honest I really can't say there is one over the regular Mobil 1. But I've been using Mobil 1 since it's first oil change 20 years and 360k miles ago.

I'm curious.. can you get a pic of the inside of your oil filler neck (yeah yeah)? I wonder if there's any varnish forming in there.

And people worry about Lightforce lights cutting down on air flow and causing overheating...

 

[TexasJack]

Preciate it! That one has 300+k miles and still runs like a sowing machine

I have a 91 in the same shape. It is still my daily driver and has been since 1993.

My buddy took a deflared 80 through the squeeze, and it almost got stuck between the rocks. Damage to both sides of the vehicle down both sides. I unfortunately do not have the after photos as I felt too bad. That whole trail down to Fish Creek is actually pretty fun. I had a 4Runner at the time and it barely fit. This was in 2009 I believe and with gas prices so high the 80's were like a dime a dozen. ha

There are so many places you can take a locked 80 where almost no one else can go, why try to make it go places it will not fit? You'll just tear it up for no gain. I take a tape measure. If it won't fit at the angle I have to take, it won't fit. I turn around and go back.

Bad ass rig!

Yes, indeed. I have no idea what the huge propeller in the trailer was for, but the guy was more man than I'll ever be!

That's most likely a wind power generator, quite common with RVs and sail boats.

Probably used to offset the -2mpg that van likely gets.

Put on a new power steering return line. PO had apparently done the same before, however the line was positioned perfectly to get rubbed by the belt. Replaced with a new hose and re-routed after dumping ATF all over my buddy's shop floor.

Goofy photo.

So the 95 heater bypass is different? Makes sense since there isn't a PAIR system in the 95-97. Didn't even think about this when I did my PAIR and EGR Delete. I need this.

Yup. You'll need part 87208-60161. Try your best to find a used one as the new piece is kinda spendy.

My bitch is too fat for the squeeze.

 

[LouisianaRubicon]

Put on new rear hatch struts from amazon They work great so far. I'm always a fan of OEM but wasn't paying 5x more. I guess they did last 20 years to be fair...

 

[BILT4ME]

Installed an ih8mud sticker for me...a "Rust-eze" sticker for the kids...new tires for everyone...and replaced the hoses to charcoal canister. All while recovering from dental surgery. View attachment 1437798View attachment 1437799View attachment 1437800View attachment 1437802

Where did you get the Rust-Eze sticker? I want one for my Studebaker!

Use for the Slee CB install as a guide and added a pigtail to my radio to be able to push it back a little further into the dash. Didn't take any pictures of the procedure as Slee's instructions are straight forward. I know it doesn't look like much but the radio was able to move back about an inch.

Whats model is the lower of the two kenwoods ? A buddy of mine is looking for something that can install in a small space in his 4R to use as trail comms. He likes the handhelds but wants a mobile as well.

Finished mounting my tires with Counteract balancing beads.



My little helper, admiring the wheels.



Finally got a matching spare to rotate in.

37s on 17in rims?
