Washed half of Montana off it and replaced the racing slicks (that got shredded at 80mph).

Went way down to Va. for the weekend meet up with several MUD folk and non muds as well, got some great pics and tested out the maggiolina further. For anyone searching for off grid wifi DO NOT BUY A SKYROAM SOLIS. Let me make the mistakes and You save the $$ and looks like front runner is going and a prisnu or bow fin is on deck.
New TYC radiator, foam, seal, ready to install. 1. flushed the radiator a few days ago 2. I drove it around with cleaning agent. 3. Flushed again yesterday and then installed new radiator. 4. Replaced thermostat and radiator hoses while we were at it. My radiator was exceptionally dirty. 5. replaced heater valve, throttle body hose last week. 6. PHH was in good condition so left it alone. Hopefully the brake booster doesn’t fail soon but my understanding is this is a food time to replace PHH if booster goes kaput.
Old radiator ready for removal; must remove entire battery terminal and casing.
New radiator in
Fitting hose. Note: BUY long 90’ plyers and long plyers for tools in rig!
Thanks @inkpot and @Tools R Us for the process and each procedure to do this properly. Pure wizardry.

If you need ammo, I work at True Shot Gun Club in Tempe. We have some crazy prices on ammo.
Transported me, new red dot scope, and a 10/22 breakdown to the desert to get it all dialed in.

I had a rat problem in the chicken house few years back. Laid out some grain with a flashlight pointed at it at night and popped rats for a couple hours with my 22/red dot combo. good times
I don't remember having to take the battery out when I did mine but I can't really remember much haha.
I hate those spring clamps and have been replacing them with traditional screw clamps as I've been taking them loose. If you want to stick with the spring clamps for some reason a set of cable pliers work much better: https://smile.amazon.com/Astro-Pneu...1538512197&sr=8-5&keywords=clamp+cable+pliers
Update again:
So last time I said the tranny was leaking bad. Sunday just started her up and drove it down the road, checked the fluid and put 2qts of fluid in her to read to the proper level. Been a small bit of leaking but she’s still driving like normal. Cleaned her up today and used the excuse for a beach trip to throw out a line or 2.
Do you even wheel bro?

Trying to keep your "for sale" post relevant....

I was washing my old Dodge a couple years back, before I sold it and got my 80. Any way the guy in the bay next to me had one of those. So we were chatting and he had nearly 400k on it! I was like whoa! Looked nice, but not as nice as yours!
Probably not but I got an aux fan kit maybe 2 years back from Phil..
Thanks a lot man, it’s got 2-3 nice size dings and a few scratch’s but overall very clean car for its age. My 94 LS400 had 360k miles before I sold it. Guy used that one as a parts car but it was very nice. Will own another when I can have a second car
Finished up 1st part of the build. Stage 1 lift, supplied by Icon Vehicle Dynamics, 17x9 Black Rhino Arsenal rims, custom Ivan "ironman" Stewart inspired wrap, custom hood rack complete with 2 gallon rotopax gas tank and 2 gallon storage container and snorkel, because why not!
