Installed some $20 neoprene seat covers from Walmart. Removed seats and pulled of all trim pieces then covers then reinstalled trim and back. Fit nice. We'll see how long they last. Added rear air chuck as well

Hey @voodu3 , what color and type of coating is on your rig? Is it a bedliner or something else?
Many thanks!

It’s John Deere implement paint. The color is blitz black. I used rattle cans but you can get it in gallons for paint gun. I painted it in sections it turned out pretty good. It’s a solid 25’ paint job. I can touch it up pretty easily if needed. Thanks

Better late than never! Poor girl hadn’t gotten a lot of attention over the last 6 months. Brother in law charged it up for a case of beer.

Defrost doesn't work for sh!t without a properly charged AC system...
Got a 80 series cargo barrier for $50 wasn’t sure it would fit the Sahara with rear air con, but it does perfectly ! Was worth the $50 as I thought I may have had to alter it to fit but it’s all good !

Even a 2018 Outback doesn’t have even cup holders...
Added a PUMA on board air compressor! I know, using a ratchet strap for mounting it is not ideal, I plan to do something much more robust in the future...
prepped for cruiserfest.

Changed the oil again today. A cut down Delo container makes a great screw in funnel.

Didn't do anything to the 80, but I did get about 24 hours of seat time as it took me and my son to the Grand Canyon and back for a week of backpacking with my father. It didn't miss a beat and averaged about 14.5mpg the entire time.
the 80 w 33x10.5's is the best beach buggy so far, been doing it 30 years, had a 86 sr5 p/u in 91, that's the runner up, then CJ7 in third place, 05 rubicon in 4th and ram diesel ranked dead last b/c I need to go from 65 psi to 20...then air up when done. The fj80 - I should have done it years ago.

One more peice of the puzzle.

That’s pretty good water consumption for Grand Canyon hiking in the summer.
So I decided to take vacation to paint my Cruiser with tintable Upol Raptor liner. I love the product but it did not go as planned. I mixed Sunset Bronze Mica with Raptor liner and sprayed ! Needles to say the color that can out was not what I expected. Need to figure out if I can paint over the liner. If so, what paint can I use ? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve had some wind noise from the doors for awhile. New door seals helped. While repairing the floppy side mirror on the DS I noticed that a lot of the trim uses some sort of thin butyl like gasket. Mine had failed as well as the trim being torn in the screw passages. I used rtv to seal the torn trim and a trip the Orielly’s for butyl rope. I butyled he beejebus out of it and the air noise is now almost completely gone. I discovered I have many rattles to track down.
