What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (89 Viewers)

[FZJ80 in KC]

Nice coverage. Is that 4 lights?

It's 4 lights on each side, came in one package (8 total lights) branded as truck bed lighting. Grabbed them at the local walmart for $19. Two strands, each with 4 lights with 18" of lead wire between each light. Spaced pretty perfectly as is to run the entire length of the rocker panel. Then has about 3 or 4 more feet of lead wire (which I ran up front quarter panels to under the hood).

Pretty much just like these, but mine have 9 led's in each square (I think).

I replaced my crankshaft seal and oil pump cover gasket. Replace the v-belts and idler pulley while I was at it as well. I used this YouTube video as a guide:

Reworked the rock lights yesterday and welded in Slee's front panhard bar adjuster, thanks to help from @2fpower . Front locker fixed last weekend, and added another inch lift to the suspension (30mm spacers), caster plates, front swaybar drop brackets, and a new door (my third...being referred to as "regular maintenance" now by my club). Ready for our Fall Crawl event later this week at Flat Nasty in Jadwin, MO.

I wanted to give credit to @sleeoffroad for the cool panhard adjuster. Very cool, and made me try out the new TIG welder, that laid down some killer beads.

Fixed up my front axle this morning. Had a nasty rubbing scrapping sound coming from the pinion flange. I went into it this morning fearing the worse, but turned out the dust cover on the pinion flange had seen contact with something recently. It makes an excellent amplifier Anyway, pulled the flange off, found that the cap to the welding gas bottle fit inside perfectly. Two strokes on the 12 ton press, clearance regained

Also "fixed" my front locker. Last time out it would not engage. Always helps to press the CDL button first...

It's the little things. Finally found a tilt knob that matches, courtesy of MUD member @Bill T who also was kind enough to supply an air box clamp I was missing. Also finally got my rear bump stops in I've had for years from @Hitit66

Oh man, those hose orientations need some love. Adding an o-ring or teflon washer will allow you to rotate the fittings a little differently so that the angles aren't so awkward.

@NLXTACY is this good enough or do I need to shorten the outlet hose a little....

By the way, you need to pollish up your graphic placement skills. I think the Wit's End logo ended up on the rear side of almost every fitment.

I'd run them under the intake hose but meh.

My wife got rear ended by a brand new car at a stop light.
Unfortunately I got no pictures of the plastic car which hit her.

I hope that's a Hino truck on your driveway, cause otherwise it sucks.

My wife was watching Grey’s Anatomy unfaithful on TV. Strangely, I walked in and there was a woman getting into a green 80 series land cruiser. Who’da Thought.

Finally got my back speakers installed and grills painted. Looking forward to mounting up some new wheels in the next week or two.
