What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (50 Viewers)

[MrMoMo]

Put my replacement mirror on and put the door back together, now just need paint to match but no rush on that!

Not much cruiser work this weekend, last two days of medical training yesterday and today (SFA, HCP, EFR, O2, CPRC), end of 6 months of overall training for my local volunteer Fire Department. Just waiting on my gear, pager and green light to come in, and hopefully a Firefighter I certification test soon...

Fitting the 37s and flexing it out for fitment. 3" bump stop in rear and 2" front. Took a hammer to the rear quarter panel lip and everything clears. Had to cut the front of the sliders some and hammer the rear of the front fender. Just bought 2" metal tech spacers for the front. Think everything will clear just fine. Love these 37s

Took the 80 to Prom. No pics of it with my date just one with me. Was super fun and it performed flawlessly like usual.

In other news there is a new gas station in my town with Ethanol Free Gas. Thought I would give it a shot to see if I could notice any power or MPG gains. Didn't notice better performance however, I did see that usually on regular gas around half a tank I am at about 150 miles. On the Ethanol Free stuff I made it to around 190. Very happy with the gains

(I hate tuxes i felt like a 100 series owner )

(No i did not take this picture while driving the person I was driving with did)

Lipstkking...
Vacuumed out all the granite from ski season. Washed/waxed.

Covered over all the war wounds from last year...

I installed a new exhaust system. It sounds great but I am throwing an o2 sensor code, not sure why. I wasn't throwing the code prior to the new system. Gotta get that sorted out...

Very nice that everything just bolts right up with the new hardware, new cushions and
gaskets.

Is it a bad idea not to cover them up?? I haven't yet. There is surface rust but...

Does anybody else think its odd that @Kevin8086 posts those pictures and everybody asks what liner he has, rather than the obvious. For instance, nice dent, how'd that buff out ? Or, what's up with that horribly mangled drive shaft ? Most importantly, who's the blonde standing on the roof of your truck ?

I'm in Weatherford, 30 min west of Ft. Worth. So I was going to ask him some stuff, but basically considering how hard he wheels I'm afraid and hiding under the table. He scares me.

Burned a 2"x 2" tow hitch receiver on my hanna rear bumper swing-out for jerry can holder project. Only have a single swing-out on bumper so need to fab up a removable basket for jerry cans..

Finished up resurrecting the parking brake system and rear brake job. Buncha new parts from the dealership. I think the "8" adjustments on the adjusting cylinder for the brake shoes is just a suggestion. Brakes wouldn't hold with anything more than 4. Combined with the adjustment at the brake handle, she can now hold the truck in neutral on a very steep grade. Bled the entire system until almost clear. Didn't get a pic of the fluid from the rear, but heres the front. Rear was worse.

Poked around linville gorge in the fog and rain fished a few mtn streams along the way

Started early Saturday morning on the white 80 doing 1" spacers on top of the OME stock height springs I put in last fall. Next came a sandblast job on the hubs and chassis saver paint. Then new KYB shocks. Next up was the new ARB bumper. Drove it home from my shop and did a couple of poser shots on the woods trail. Blasted 2 hours north in my other 80 to see an old friend and hit a seasonal road on the way home at 8:00 a.m. this morning for good measure. Back on the white 80 again as soon as I got home. Ended tonight halfway through a new rotor/pad job to cap maintenence off. Extended weekend tomorrow after work to finish (I hope).

Used it to pull the boat out for the season. On the way to get gas I thought it would be cool to pull the boat to the lake with the 80. Thinking about the long 7% grade coming out of the lake I went with Premium and some Octane boost. On the way home I realized that was a dumb idea with my max sped in low range only ~40mph

Why was it a bad idea? Smoke your brakes?

So you wasted the premium fuel and booster?
