Built a stand for working on the diffs. Set the backlash and pinion preliad and found pinion depth is too deep with the stock shim. I’m in the long process of front and rear lockers and new gears.

This has been my latest project on the 80. Had some SPARE doors that I turned into some half doors. Like how it came out. Waiting for some cup holder inserts to come in to put those in the doors. Still retains the factory mirror location and window controls for the rear windows and door looks on all doors. Even though it’s kinda useless on the front lol.

Why not white to match?
I had a full spare set of doors that I held onto for years with plans to make half doors (all 4 doors), but never got to it and ended up selling the doors.
Never found a good white to match. I threw on some 045 paint I bought that was supposed to match but it was way off. So I just threw on some black until I find something better to match

Awesome! Really wish someone would make some sort of quick disco system for 80 doors. Being able to pop them off and leave em home for nice summer weekends would be pretty sweet.
Hey, another Walnut Creekian!
theres a harness disconnect behind the kickpanels, my speakers are wired up to that harness so its 2 connectors, 4 bolts, and the slider pin to remove the doors
Had her in getting a whole makeover. Chassis and body paint (original colour) custom seat covers (guy shows up and measures then returns 4 hours later with all 4 done) Really gives her a second life, that 1993 paint was pretty faded. The 100 is her new sister with the upgraded IHD-T fte 5 speed auto. They get along fine.

Just returned from a 3 day weekend, our first this year ! My beast has been down for almost 2 months as I sorted a bunch of stuff that’s been on my ‘to do‘ list for way too long. The shutdown made it a little easier.....
Added additional trans cooler
New rotors, calipers and pads in all 4 corners
Complete front birf repack
Rear bearing repack and park brake rebuild
Added hydroboost and new Wilwood master cylinder
All new brake lines
All new fluids, all diffs, and engine oil.
Installed sound deadening into all 4 doors and cleaned window runs
Other misc stuff I’m forgetting.....
Headed out to NV and the East fork of the Carson River which is about 4 miles South of Gardnerville, NV.
Camped by the river for 3 days doing not much and just enjoying the surroundings. Pretty decent wheeling to get in and out and the truck performed flawlessly.
Already planning our next trip for the next two weeks....

What are you using for trans cooler?
I ended up installing a Hayden 679 onto/in front of the AC condenser and running it inline with the stock Toyota unit adjacent to it.
Saw this on FB but didn't see the detail with how you filled in the gaps. Very nice work +1
Nice bumper. Who makes that?

I don't think they make bumpers anymore... Not really sure what they are into nowadays. The bumper is really solid though.It's by American Overland Expedition.
