What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (39 Viewers)

[LC4LIFE]

It appears PO had cut these inner fenderwells to reduce rubbing

I'd say its probably so you can't see the core support along with the fenderwells with that 4x4labs bumper on there. Looks like both your core support and the fenderwell is trimmed on yours. Lots of people with that bumper trim up things behind it.

I've been collecting all the necessary parts to do my knuckle rebuild at some point over the winter and right now I have the gaskets, seals, rotors, pads, and spindle nut. I also picked up a couple of these so once its rebuilt it's easy to add a bit of grease every once and awhile.

Shout out the @69LC for hooking me up with a new to me hood for my 93 after the dump truck incident. He dropped it off at Fastenal yesterday so I should have it in a few days.

Super excited to not be driving around looking like I rear ended someone!

Here is the piece for the core support taken off. Just a few clips and bolts, and that might line you up good with the new hood.

yea Im hip, Im not complaining but its time to replace em and then finish it off so its not jagged metal that isnt able to support whats on it ie: battery etc. this fix worked for now.

[rjinga]

The board won’t sit flush with the T-nuts....

Have you thought about scooting back a little as you sit down?

Those Blue Sea SafetyHub units are the bees knees. I love that they have the hi-cap MIDI style fuses as well as the normal ATO ones all on the same panel.

That was my main reason for getting one. Now I dont have to wire in a seperate distribition block unless I absolutely have to.

I just fished in the 2/0 to the front, and I will temp wire it to the main Batt, till I have more time to add the second battery tray. Then I can finally stick all the interior plastics back in. But so far so good.

Here is the technique I used to fish through the 2/0 cable through the firewall rubber grommet.

Starting to look tidy back there.

I will temporarily stick a 150 amp fuse on the 2/0 from the front Batt. Just so I can start running stuff to the back and setting up the fridge wiring. Then I can remove all the crap I am Carrying around to install these things lol. I want to get a couple uses out of the truck and maybe even wire things in as I use them.

I threaded the backs of the new latches for the drawers today too. But then I had some unexpected visitors, so I ran out of time. Those will have to wait.

Oh yeah I found another use for my Jetboil lol.

Went to the Copperstate 4 Wheeler's, Four Peaks Cleanup. OHV cleaning up after shooters, again. Good turnout from all of the TRAL groups, Phoenix, Payson and Globe. We were assigned to work some of the more remote, dispersed sites.

The new list of targets law has helped, but shooting spots have proliferated, often small and widely spread, making the job of finding and cleaning much more challenging. This one included 2 shot up toilets, nice!

Can haul this junk out there, but can't haul it back?

Four dumpsters today, lots of trigger trash!

 

[Tools R Us]

Lots of Agencies, vendor supporters, clubs, etc, so great place to network. Participating in this type of event shows who the serious, responsible groups are. Lunch provided by Ride Now Motorsports!

Copperstate is a very solid club, one of the premier groups in this area, they do a ton of work, adopt a trail, signing, trail repairs, etc. This is their big annual stewardship event and they do a fantastic job, family oriented, kids contests, raffle, etc.

Our mascot at one of the sites.

Another great day on Tonto!

Nice work!!

Too bad you couldn’t set up trail cams (I know, it’s such a vast area) then dump all of the trash on their front yard.

[bajaphile]

Spent last couple weeks driving around Baja down to La Paz area, truck did great... At least 500 miles offroad too. Lots of snowbirds heading south!! Hwy 5 is a mess.

 

[Heckraiser]

Did a little science experiment on some extremely rusty midwestern radius arms.

Electrolysis with a battery charger in a giant tub took them from scary rusty (like, I'm not willing to use these arms) to like new in about 14 hours. I took pictures but they came out pretty terrible
