What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (63 Viewers)

Wow! 50,000 miles in just a couple days?!?!? Musta been a long, fast trip.

Man, can't get away with anything on here.

Fixed.

Last night was this year’s last super moon so I took advantage and hit the trail. Rain on a pop top is one of the finer things in life IMO and it rained all night only to wake the clear sunny skies. It’s going to be a great day

I bought a set of prinsu side rails a while ago to explore the possibility of doing something similar. I am really interested to see how yours turns out! I figured I would build a rectangular lid and use a westfalia top material for the tent portion.

Funny you should have the same idea.. That is exactly what I did, cut up my Prinsu rack to mount my Expo III. I even used the 80/20 cross beams for part of my sleeping platform that raises up so you can stand up and walk around inside of the vehicle. It works really well!
The way I designed the sleep system/tent entry, I can enter through the sunroof with ease and can use the exterior ladder on the passenger side.
Its amazing on how easy it is to use the sunroof, this was my biggest concern on the planning stage as my wife wants to be able to "get below" without going outside.

Over the weekend, much to my dismay and heartbreaking disappointment, the D light finally went out at 292,300 miles. What’s next, my electric antenna not working?

I'm at 255,000 on my 91 and my D light works when it wants to and doesn't when it's in a bad mood. Who knows maybe yours will decide to turn back on one day.

Try smacking the dash a few times, if that doesn’t fix it then I would suggest selling it and get something more reliable.

Careful with that. You could crack your discontinued dash pad

 

[4xFletch]

I’ll hit the dash with a closed fist maybe that way I can get the light to come on and create another cup folder. Win win.

Holy cow that actually worked. Let me know where to sent payment.

Got lost in Death Valley for a few nights

Ordered a front set of window runs and a new window regulator for my rig. Time to have some windows that go up and down at a normal speed again! Next will be the rear slider rubber.

Well La De Da, Mr. Fancy.

Low and Slow for my windows

Well after removing the old runs and cleaning them I noticed they were pretty cracked and brittle. The regulator wheels were pretty wallowed out as well so at 25 years old and 330k miles strong she deserved it haha.

How do you mount your spare? I don't see the LCP carrier in there...

Its a LCP special system I have mounting and structural shelving stuff (like our Puma mount but not) between the tire and side combined with ratchet strap.

Low and slow with the gangsta lean to the left is the only way to roll in an 80 series.

 

[davidp14]

lol. I'm always a little nervous that the next time I roll done my window will be it's last. Then I just get tired of waiting and yell at it to hurry up.

 

[Cruzilla]

Here's a few more shots with it open, I really dig how it's all coming together!

 

[Cruzilla]

Some interior shots. Keep in mind that the interior is nowhere near done, I just want to show sunroof opening and bed system
