What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (47 Viewers)

great idea, Id rather hardware rather than software.

Yes and no I agree with the simplicity of hardware. Another problem as you I find myself setting up camp after dark and ready a level in the dark PIA. I do like the thought of being able to find my perfect spot and just look at my ipad and know where and how many of blocks I need and where to be perfect. This would make for a one time leveling move. A mechanical level will tell you are off but not how much.

Yes maybe but its something I do 50 - 75 times a year and one more thing to streamline my set up

Looks like a fun getaway, that is one hard core rain visor! like the custom emblems. Trying to figure out my arrangement right now (just re-finished the paint) will likely not go stock...

Do you have a link for the shelf? Thanks

What he said. I just got my black 18X48 shelf from Container Store. Paid way too much because I had to have it shipped ($35). Noticed they have the chrome version at Lowe's for $20. Home Depot doesn't sell the individual shelves.

20 minutes and $7, and its a little bit quieter

Got some parts last week, this was one of them. Should be replacing items soon

Put in an attic rack. Got the shelf from local Display store for $20. Made the brackets from some scrap (3/16" might be a bit overkill). Didn't have much time this weekend to tackle any of the other stuff on my list. But this was quick and easy.

Performed a brain transplant!

I swapped my factory early '93 ECU with a used '94 from a local Mudder (thanks again D). Now, I'm still waiting for the darn thing to re-learn and stop idling poorly, but that was always the case before so I'm optimistic. I wrapped up the old ECU along with a spare fusible link, new O2 sensor, some 10awg wire & connectors, and a handful of fuses in a gallon zip-lock and shoved them into the passenger side cubby in the rear. Nice to have a couple of mission-critical spares on hand no matter where I go.

Nothing difficult, or glamorous, but that's a big step in building my confidence to hit the road in a 25 year old truck for long trips to remote locations. I guess I should track down another starter to add to the parts stash. Anything else you folks would recommend for "don't leave home without it" parts?

Installed @dogfishlake bowincruisers rack, very nice design and quality, can't wait to install the next goodie package from MI Removed the running boards and that was all before it got dark and I got hungry. Plan for the weekend is winch and sliders.

Finally some snow.. 25 year old truck that gets looks everywhere when the snow is out. Got to love it

Over last few weeks, installed a TJM bumper, Metal Tech sliders, front & rear rotors/pads and a bunch of interior goodies with my buddy @SteelHunterFJ80

 

[buck208]

Add ons continue: installed Smittybuilt 12k Synthetic X2O winch and @dogfishlake bowfincruisers sliders. Sliders are extremely stout and should suit me well on any rocks I may encounter.

Until I can justify the ipad bluetooth level this will need to do to keep me sleeping level. Maybe a little over kill but it has been on the bench for a couple years.
