Got some side view mirrors in from @slow95z and installed. Very pleasant transaction. My right side had a broken tab and left side had a broken tab and broken screw hole. Replacements are in excellent condition and I no longer feel like I am just out running an earthquake... Next up, the a/c vent.

Glad they showed up fine, always nervous shipping glass items.
Hope you have another good passenger side! Was just about to send you a PM. Somehow my screwhole :oops: failed sitting in a parking lot.

Removed the durabak from the bottom. Got sick of it cause you can see every piece of dirt it ever got on it and the wife got sick of it scratching the back of her legs when she got out.

Right after I applied the durabak last year.

somehow I got 2 coats with 1 gallon. There are some thicker spots and I plan to give it another coat at some point down the road but it is pretty good for now.
 
Annual oil change plus filter mod.

Why are your Park and Drive light both illuminated at the same time and while you're going 70+mph?
When I replaced the bulbs in the dash with LEDs the P indicator stays illuminated. Haven't bothered to fix it. It actually lights up righter when in Park so I might just have the wrong LED in it.
 
Got some Nittos.

My Cooper 255 85 16's were worn out. I was really wanting to grab some 315's. However the shop had a used set of 285's, Nitto Terra Grapplers with a couple thousand miles on them. Just about like new. $400 mounted, balanced and out the door. Couldn't pass them up.

First set of Nittos. Felt great on the drive home

I love this mod for filter changes, just a ziplock over the filter and no drips. Money well spent.

Is the hose off your axle vent below the filter?
Plus I like that the filter stays full...
That fitting is where the vent tube from the charcoal canister went. I think. I better go check.

:lol:

Am trying to figure out the mod What changed?

Looks like he added an oil filter adapter that rotates the filter 90 degrees so it's pointing up instead of at the block.
 
Have you ever changed the oil on a 80 series?
You mean removed the filter and then mopped up the all the oil that was in the filter from the engine, tranny lines, block, pan, driveway, etc.?
