What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (128 Viewers)

[RFB]

@RFB
what's the benefit of running your fridge through the inverter vs 12V?

Its not, theres just a bit of dead space behind the fridge so I mounted invertor back there, the magnum is fan cooled etc. so it gets some air back there I ordered a fridge setup from joey in 12 v.

Didn't realize you were going for the poverty stricken African outback look. It all makes sense now

Have you not seen my 93?! It is the epitome of poverty stricken!

Found another missing nut today. Seems like after every time I take it out trailing a nut slips off somewhere.

I supposed I should add a sticker that says "Protected by Springfield Armory". Who am I kidding?! I live in Mayberry. If someone wants to steal one of my fire extinguishers or EMT kit then more power to them...

Do you have a sticker about your wallet or credit cards too?

Installed my DIY fridge slide and installed magnum invertor with 100amView attachment 1509810 View attachment 1509811 p breaker underhood

How do you like the magnum Peanut? I want to get one for my 18wheeler.

Well played @JCruse you are a smarter man than I am. I wish I'd thought of that and known someone on the inside.

And that stings to learn about all those unused passes. My in-laws have been in town several times this summer and I'd have happily camped on the beach each time if I'd had the pass (as well as other times). Eagerly awaiting Labor Day, after which I think I can finally pick one up. I can pick one up then right?

Far as I know, yes. And be sure to stop by and say hi. I'll be the one in a sage 40th with a tent on the roof. Can't miss it.

Remember, I live in Mayberry! People are trustworthy and good here. I don't even lock my truck (unless I leave my work Surface in there since they will then cover break in).

If someone wants my stuff, just don't break my windows to get it. Plus my 80 looks like an African, poverty stricken 80 so people don't think much of it.

I thought that too until someone stole my riding lawnmower right out of my yard. Not something that happens in nice, small town of a about 100 people in Central Iowa . All my vehicles were unlocked at the time, but they aren't anymore.

@LS1FJ40 you need this

 

[utahisrad]

Got rid of the double chin. Really happy with the Trail Gear bumper, really easy install. Time to get a winch! Looks weird without one...

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Removed my rear heater and lines = fun....not!
Makes changing of the PHH very easy in comparison

The end results makes servicing the hoses in this area MUCH easier if needed.

You have really done a lot of mods in the last year

yeah I guess I have. Only got it December... been a fun few months! Also put in a sub & backup camera the other day. I've got about $12k in planned mods still.... good thing I am not married and don't have any kids. Definitely helps haha

So many wrong things in a single post.
Let's dissect it.

1) I don't live in Mayberry. It does not apply to me or anyone passing through that place.

2) Now it starts full on: "People are trustworthy and good here."
Implying people in the middle of Iowa are of a certain kind, unlike the rest of the country.

3) If I want your stuff, how would I know your doors are unlocked? Put a damn sticker on your windows to make it easier for me not to break your precious windows. I might get surprised discovering the doors were unlocked and after breaking the window curse you for making me uncomfortable with unwanted and unneeded extra attention the noise brought onto me.

4) Ahhh, here we come full circle: "Plus my 80 looks like an African... people don't think much of it."
Now number 2 makes a lot more sense.


All you have to do in order to avoid being labeled is get rid of the sticker.

Trigger much?

Dang bro. Take a deep breath.

The reference to "Africa" was to the impression that my 80 is a run down, held together with bailing wire, jalopy. Unlike the fancy, polished, waxed, good paint American 80s. It was a reference to the continent, not people.

But yes, about Iowa. The likelihood of a break in in my town are slim as compared to other parts of the country.

I'll take my chances on someone breaking in to my vehicle to steal a fire extinguisher or first aid kit. I'd much rather people know it is there in case of an emergency.

In the future, if you are going to quote me, quote my full quote. Otherwise, fawk off.

The Largest Vise Wilton Makes! 8 Bench Vise / Vice. New Wilton 800S.

 

[Heckraiser]

I wonder what constitutes a warranty claim with a vice like that. "I clamped my honda in the vice because it was cheaper than getting a vehicle lift, vice broke my workbench"

Chinese vices have a warranty?
