What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (65 Viewers)

[TYM4FUN]

Replaced a dead door lock actuator.

Started insulating the doors.

Two layers of Noico 80 mil butyl mat. 1st layer lining the inside of the door and the 2nd layer on the outside.

Also, two layers of Noico 150 mil closed cell foam. 1st layer inside the door over the butyl and the 2nd layer covering the full door panel.

@nigelsiam I did just install this ironman 2'' lift about 2 weeks ago. At first I thought it was too stiff. but then I realized the alignment guy filled my tires to 60 PSI! im back down to 35ish now on my BFG ko2's. I had this setup on my wifes old GX and I really liked it then. I also had old man emu on my old 100 and I just remember it being really rigid. This is a little softer than that, but definitely not like a king or icon shock setup. Its really good bang for the buck. I also just installed 1'' front spacers because I wasn't loving the rake the front had. I love the stance now! @ $1300 for everything including caster correction bushings, its hard to beat!

Now you’ve done it! They won’t be affordable much longer. There is a good old saying, if you find a good thing, keep it to yourself! Hahahaha

Upgraded my Toyota Tercel 140 amp with new Photoman small pulley , I had purchased this Alternator from Ebay back about three years ago as spare. My current v went up from 12.5 v to 14.3 v. It is must upgrade if you have two batteries,

just my opinion.

They already aren't that affordable. Those housing prices are not even close. But I second it that we'll take you.

Pismo Beach! This place is a blast!

Dude, those side louvers are sweet? Are they punched into the fenders or attached mechanically?

Didn't do anything with the 80 as I was visiting the in-laws in Tacoma.

 

[moneytimetycoon]

Had some unistrut and an idea.

Is your cruiser really that loud, I have a Cummins and I have never done sound deadening

Nope, not at all. Some hum from the tires but that's it. Mostly for quality on the in progress sound system upgrade. However, also for a quieter cabin and temperature regulation.

If you only had 12.5 V, there was no charging going on. Are you sure you didn't fix something else while you were there? Maybe the belt was slipping on the old pulley or the wiring wasn't fully connected.

Picked up a 2010 Ford Escape AWD Hybrid as a DD for 3K - I like it a lot! 32mpg on a recent 1200 mile road trip. Landcruiser now sits locked and loaded for off-road camping trips at a moments notice!

One more from the adventure.

And on a different note, rented a nice big shop for my business this morning.

Cheers

We spent the day at Galleta Meadows in Borrego Springs. Been several times and its a must-see as it never gets old. Just a small sample of the 130+ metal sculptures to view scattered throughout the desert.
