What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (44 Viewers)

[TYM4FUN]

Does it drive any differently?

So far just a slow commute to work today. All 8 bushings are bad on the rear and I still need to tackle the upper 4 this Sat, then I will know for sure. Front bushings got rid of most of the axle shift at stop/ start...and even tighter now.

Recovered this ATV after he drove through waist-deep water and got stuck in the sand.

Then chilled at the river.

That's my other ride lol. Swapping the pulleys on her at the trans and the rear. Gonna give me about a 10% increase in available torque to the rear.

@nigelsiam, have about 100 miles on new Landtank arms and they have removed the last 5-10% of my driveline drone. Now the truck is as quite as stock height again.
