New calipers and soft lines on the front. Is turning out to be a PIA to get them bled :frown:. Finally got the ABS to activate in a gravel parking lot and will try to bleed them again tomorrow. Pedal is mush currently.

Pressure power bleed @mingles I did a little share on pressure power bleeder best way IMHO
 
I put 100 series front brake pads, I have one rotor I need to replace maybe the pads where only $7.00 on RA so I may just run the crap out of them

Thanks. I am using a Motive power bleeder so I will get the air out. It just takes time.
 
Getting ready for some Monstaliner. The old lady giving a helping hand.

If it was me, I would have the ground cable attached to the SAME panel I was welding on to keep transient currents from all other electronics.

Aloe Vera works well for sunburns........
 
That looks like it could end in some pain. :eek:
No pain was reported. :) She loved every second of it.

Thanks for the info!
 
I caught a pretty wicked sunburn welding with that much skin showing (no photo, just google hairy man in short shorts if you really want the image)

I just noticed all the signs in the background........

Late night highway robberies or is the shop at the local State DOT facility?..........Multiple Stop signs, RR crossing, ......:)
 
Went up to Gallagher Head Lake via Fortune Creek Trail in Western Washington. (Though, if you're up on your current events, you can tell this is not from last weekend, or even two weekends ago, thanks to the haze we've had from the B.C. fires for the last month.)

With the new tires and the running boards off, I took her all the way up to the top of Hawk's Mountain on stock suspension (a couple miles beyond this point) and The Bruiser didn't bottom out once. The damage to the rear bumper was actually done on the way up to the lake and was, in all honesty, user error.

Just got my first LC 2 weeks ago. While she only has 128K on her she was quite faded on the hood and flares so last weekend I dropped the running boards and pulled the flares. This past weekend I decided to spray durabak 18 on the bottom quarter of my panels and on the fender flares.

This is how she looked when I got her.

Got it all taped off and covered up
 
Been busy doing and not posting this summer...with the 80 along for the ride.

We have camped, explored, chased a few waterfalls, hiked local sections of the Appalachian Trail, worked on the exhaust a little, left it at the airport a few times, tubed on a river, and made a nice trip to the beach too! No failures, no breakdowns - just gas money, some good memories, and a tired dog. Rolled 230k miles yesterday out in the woods just seeing where the forest service road went.
