What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (96 Viewers)

[RS6tofj80]

That looks great. I really wanted to do that before my trip but since I WAS supposed to leave today, that's out. I bet it will make a nice difference.

No offense to you ( or your wife) but your opening statement of "got at the sound dampening with the wife" made me laugh.

Sounds like something a mobster would say when they would want to "silence" someone!

haha - it was a fun morning together... it's her truck after all, I just get to borrow it. Putting the rack you made for it on in the morning can't wait to have it on, and the light bar....

Feel your pain on the delays.... it's just the way it rolls at times...

Cheers

I double the floorpan - 80 mil and 50 mil on top..... will be putting a 315mm foam layer across everything that's flat as the final touch... I'm not quite as OCD as @Boltripper but aspire to it after reading thru his thread ! I will be doing the headliner area as well with dampner and foam but waiting until my shop can recover it while it's down.... I will say the rattletrap is stickier so likely will use just that and foam.

315mm is 12+ inches! Won't need a mattress to sleep in that one!

That's one cool wife, wanting back in an 80.

Cheers!

Figured I'd mention the new flange is A LOT thicker, as in there is about 1/4" of birf sticking out of the old one, and with the new one you have to pull the axle out a good 3/16" before it's flush again.

Hey, where did you source the flanges? what spec? I think we both have fj80's right? I have the slop too.

Nothing better than coming home after a crap day at work to goodies!

Thank you @beno! Excellent service, as usual! I know what I am doing this weekend! New third row weatherstripping on the son’s 80.

I got an email that some of my stuff has been shipped.! Happy days when I get home.

I love stock 80s. The only thing I think that one needs is stock wheels. Clean looking rig.

Wrong.

Let's agree to disagree.

They are definitely missing!

Hey, 5 outta 6 ain’t bad! That’s a first ballot hall of fame career!

 

[BILT4ME]

Let's agree to disagree.

Holy crap! You're right! I zoomed in to see. Otherwise, I thought those were the faces of the locking nuts.

I would never run that way!

@scottryana & @ZackR ... thanks for the heads up and confirmation on the pre-load for the wheel bearings. I jacked up the front and felt play in both tires top to bottom. Disassembled and corrected the pre-load.
