What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (51 Viewers)

I got after the oil pump gasket leak. The step where you put the breaker bar on the crank and bump the starter is certainly a leap of faith. The good folks at harbor freight comp’d me a new breaker bar and I upgraded to the 3/4” drive for attempt #2. View attachment 1598769

Snap on 4X torque multiplier makes the job super easy.

Hate to admit it, but it is Land Rover green.

The horror!

Kept ol’ grizz out of the salt

Just waiting for my balls to arrive to make it less useless.

When does your wife/gf get back?

 

[brockdeck]

Picked up some parts from the dealer. My stock spark plugs (K16R-U) are made in Indonesia.

Sigh

replaced the passenger side visor

where did you score the flex strips and what manufacturer?

Cable Monkey Cable track on Amazon

That last picture you posted looks a lot like my Cruiser Stuff wish list on Amazon. Lug crimper and bulk wire among many other items.

 

[Fj81]

Now if I could go on Amazon and purchase spare time I would be set!

Nice! Hindsight I wish I did mine in white over tan.

The white is whiter than stock, but I like it. Do you mean two-tone or is yours tan now?

 

[ColoradoLC]

brush or sprayed?

Brushed. Much easier to do in my garage that way.

Mine was originally white, it's solid monsterlined tan now.

Good ol' Horror Fright. There's nothing quite like the thrill of saving a few bucks in the face of death or great bodily harm.

I've got a few things from there but i am still dragging my feet on their 20 Ton shop press... because, what if?

I have a lot of things from HF too. Their 20 ton press is sketch-city but it works. Here's a video pressing out my OEM bushings. Turn up the volume so you can hear the bang. Guess I got lucky because apparently their plates have been known to explode.

YOUR video actually is part of the haunting that happens when i think about buying it!!!

Don't care what brand press you use for that job, they all seem to go BANG!

 

[Heckraiser]

I just bought the HF press too and $600 worth of bushings. A little intimidated by the job. The bang in that video actually got my adrenaline going a little bit sitting here at my desk. Anybody have a wits end bushing driver kit they wanna loan me? Or any suggestions on what to use for a socket/driver?

I considered that color for a long time. I had an 86 FJ60 that was tan, and I loved it. In the end, I really like the white contrast for the window tint and the white. My son says it's a Stormtrooper now, but I need black wheels to change my nickname for it.

Do you have any pics of yours? Did you spray or brush it on?
