The 80 got a new tow rig.....

Come and take it
Got the bumper primered, painted, and installed. While it was off I re wired the LEDs so you can’t see them. Also painted a few little things while I was in there.
What a sweet piece of gear. I am so jealous to see all your crazy modified 80's. I wish germany would be a more open to such gear.
What kind of tires are those? They look like tractor fronts or aircraft tires.
Bias ply sand tires ( Maxxis DesertMaxx )
Very common over here and pretty cheap.
Pros
Great in soft sand
Very comfortable off-road ( rides better than a AT tire in similar terrain )
if a vehicle spends most of its time aired down off-road in a desert environment they are the some of the best tires.
Costs half the price of a common AT tire
Cons
Not meant for highway service ( doesn't stop every other land cruiser over here from running them daily - I wouldn't recommend it )
bias ply = flat spot even if parked for a few hours
not good in mud
lifespan isn't as long as radial tires
lots of cheap off brand versions in the market, I would only recommend MAXXIS. ( Dunlop makes sand tires too but they aren't as durable from experience ).

Those are some serious honkers
Just finished installing the Delta Panhard lift bracket... top bolt of the bracket for the upper rear control arm sucked trying to align it back up.. but it's done.. 30 minute install.. hopefully this will fix that swaying booty some.
Were you by the hot springs? Did you see those idiots that tried to cross and lost the SXS and almost drowned their Jeep as well?

Traded a 4runner for another 80, starting to think I have a problem. Didn't need a second one but here I am!
You mean Barney Riley hot Springs ? No, never quite made it that far and I prefer to be away from those yahoo crowds.
Last year, while visiting for the first time, my buddy and I ended up helping winch a Taco out of the river before the rangers got there. The idiot had tried to cross the river to the hot springs at 2am Sunday morning, drunk outta his mind with two gals on board, and the Taco rolled and flipped in the water. What a s*** show....

This is my dream garage. What year is the 911?
Yeah that sounds about right. That place gets pretty out of hand on the weekends. When I was in high school you could go and you wouldn't see anyone for the whole weekend. It's a shame.
Oh tough trade, if I already had an 80, that 4Runner would be nice! Love the open air ability.
This is a Family forum! Take it to the OT section!
Everyone's got to be a commodeian...LOL!
It gets so hot here and with no AC it made it a little easier choice. Driving around in swamp ass is no fun with this humidity.
