Broke this. Need a real steel vise.

I have that exact Chinese vise and have wondered when it will let go. Ige had the same one and it broke years ago same spot, I remember her posting it here. Was it a shock load or just tightening up?

Want me a Wilton Bullet!

 

[Cruzilla]

Wilton makes a sweet vice! got them here in the shop and always wanted one myself!

Picked up a 1997 LX450 this past sunday. Needs some little things but it should be a nice daily driver/light off roader once I am done.

Over the last few weekends I've done
-New exhaust, 2.5" bat back with Thrush muffler
-Trail gear rear bumper
-VC120 charcoal canister (I had CRAZY high tank pressure)
-Drawers/sleeping platform
-Routed power to the back and put in a mini-fridge
-EGR delete

This weekend i'll do the fuel filter and thenI'm out of stuff to work on!

That feeling doesn't last long.

Is the muffler a large oem style or a smaller unit designed for better flow? Generic or fit specific. Part number? How would you describe the noise quality and level inside and outside the cab.

Can always spot a newb. Especially when they say "then I'm out of stuff to work on"...

lol I know, I've said that before


Regarding the Muffler, its a universal high flow one - Thrush Welded model. Sounds a little deeper, not too loud or annoying.

Is it the 17717? I listened to a youtube video of that one on an fzj80. It's not as annoying as some. The inline 6 just doesn't make the sweet exhaust note that a V8 does.

Well post some pics!

I will but it needs to be washed and have some minor things done.

Yeah, only clean, polished, completely perfect rigs are allowed here!

Here is my "less sh!tty than when I got it" 93...

17656, not annoying at all. I still have my cats btw.

Agreed. I took my 92 back to stock form about 18-19 years ago after having a 4" lift on it. I love a stock 80. With my 93 I have a 2" lift on it and think that is the max I would ever go again. It just looks "right" to me.

Everyone has an opinion but mine is that 80s look best with a 3-4" lift and 35s. It's just absolute perfection.

2" inch lift and 33s is for 100s

Except, you meant to say "3"-4" and 37's.........."

I am in the 3-3.5" and 37" camp. Looks just right. I wish they still made the 39x13.50 Krawlers I would love to see them on an 80.

I'd be lying if images like that didn't make me severely question everything.

As long as we can all agree 33's are reserved for IFS

Looks good! I can send you the link to the LED bar that fits perfect in the gap and I can hook you up on a COMEUP winch when you're ready as well.

Thanks again for the order,

Jason

you tested out a come up 24volt yet?/
