What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (32 Viewers)

[Dissent]

Mapped all my circuits, switches, relays, etc. to get ready to finish wiring my switch console. What a pain. I have 2 pages of scratched notes that don't make much sense from last year. Just need to make some adjustments here and there then I can finish wiring the remaining switches and hot from the battery circuits. Drew it up in Visio to avoid any future pains when I review it next year.

Console switches and quick disconnects


Relay panel and fuse panels

You Sir need a label maker.

You Sir need a label maker.

I know an engraving dude who can make a nice label strip for me once I get it all settled. I found a 3" section of LED strip light mounted under the cigarette lighter gives perfect illumination to the engraved strip.

It's all good until you forget...

Aging sucks. You end in the (s)chat area.

Ran Scotch Creek from Purgatory. Only tricky spot was this snow crossing on a shelf road. Slipping off would result in a rapid loss of over 100' in elevation. We trenched the uphill side and laid spruce limbs on the downhill side for traction. All 6 trucks crossed with no drama.

Din't get to drive it much... cough, cough... wife

But I got to play with it a little with the air compressor trying to find out how long it takes to air up my 33" tires 0-15 PSI.

 

[shocktower]

Not mine, but did a 442 tranny swap, what a PITA, I'd rather do a diesel swap

....but it might be a bit too hot in Hawaii for all that. I wonder if they make waterproof leather bikinis?

Where did you get this and can you provide some info please and will it fit a fzj80 1994

 

[BerettaMato]

Installed a Speski Offroad cargo barrier.

Getting ready for Boy Scout summer camp season and don't want camping gear flying forward into Scouts. I think that makes it a tax deduction .

First class product and first class customer service. The rack is rock solid!

Creative install adjustment as I only have two hands ... Tied off to a tree.

We would be happy to critique them if you find some!

Some shooting and exploring, but it was very hot for our locale - 31.5C (89F). The rig always puts a smile on my face when off-roading. It takes a beating like a champ and doesn't skip a beat.

New swingout! Bike rack and paint are next.

How is snow pack looking compared to last year?

I have vacation from work in late july.. wondering if the passes will be open for weeks and everything will be crowded by then. I've heard there was a lot of snow but things are very warm so melting quick

 

[Aloha Jen]

Rolled up on a nice even number.

Will be back in 2,222 miles to celebrate!

Wheeling on Beasley knob in north Georgia today and a plastic elbow broke on the heater hose the top end of the pesky heater hose. I used the elbow because I didn't have a replacement shaped hose to use way back when I did the head gasket. Factory hose has that bend formed into it. Anyway had to do some problem solving. I used 2 deep well sockets because the only hose I had extra in the truck was 7/16 size and the heater valve to top of phh metal pipe it's closer to 5/8 so using the sockets I was able to connect all thIs stuff together and finished the trip wheeling . It worked great

Pacifica oysters from Arcata, CA I believe. Can't remember, there was another oyster he brought too. Fresh from the sea. @Russ in California
