What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (64 Viewers)

[surfpig]

I was able to get out for the day to do some exploring, I am trying to find undocumented petroglyph panels because I want to make a book documenting all the panels local to me. I was on my way out to the desert and I came across this rolled car on the side of the road.

A couple of young teenage girls had rolled their car right before I came across them. Luckily they had their seatbelts on and were injury free, although they were completely panicked and freaked out. I was able to drive them to cell phone coverage so they could get some phone calls out. Than I drove them back to their car and kept them company until their family made it out to pick them up.

After that I put about 6 miles on the boots looking for new petroglyphs and I didn't find any panels. But I did get some good pictures.

Can you spot the cruiser?

Other than that picture I forgot to get other pics of the rig, but here are some cool ones of the area.

Awesome. I'm sort of doing the same in the Sierra.

That is great to hear. I think rock art is quite fascinating. Not only is it fun to try and find unlisted panels and but I figure that puting together a book of locations and directions to the panels should be fairly straight forward. In my area I also want to document rock art examples to help protect them. We got too many idiots who try to remove sections for their personal collection. If nobody documents the existence of the unknown panels than no one will be able to prove that they were removed.

I think putting together a book of locations and directions is mutually exclusive with protecting the sites. Do not trust the general public to respect property or cultural heritage. And PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't publish a book to bring the masses piling through public (and private) lands to ruin these locations.

Documenting whats there might prove they were removed/damaged, but will never tell you who did it or bring anyone to justice. I think it just increases their exposure to the hazards of the dumbass public.

Much appreciated! I was thinking I might buy the same wheels you have. They look great! What offset are you using?

17x9 3.50"bs -38mm offset

I need to check flex again, my panhards were off by quite a bit which I adjusted yesterday.

I have that sticker on my rear window and get asked constantly what it is

 

[SNLC]

Beautiful truck though, sure you don’t want to keep it? Did you manage to get a 315 in the factory spare carrier?

Just stuffed it up in there for the new owners drive home.

The replacement Cruiser is better...

A 1995 with diff locks and cloth. Brand new 1FZ going in it along with other goodies.

Cheers

Post '95 with cloth is a huge win, best of both worlds.

Hit up a fairly new park in N Ga with @Wermz and @MongooseGA

 

[Heckraiser]

Is that a crushed FJ60 in the pile?

What’s the new park called? My buddy lives close to N Ga and may have to check it out.

(that's how I've found several sites...)

Bought another 80!
A 94 with 289k, cloth poverty pack, local owner of 22 years. Needs all the classic fixes and some good baselineing.

Just completed the FJ60 hood prop rod mod. After reading about the mod on this forum, decided that I preferred that to replacing the hydraulic struts that still have some life left in them. Found a 60 rod on ebay, bought new bushing and retaining clip from a toyota parts dealer. Invested a little time on a sand and paint of the rod itself, and viola! This might be EX A in the evidence that I’m irrational about my cruiser. Why else would I sand and paint a hood prop rod?

Obligatory "not a true poverty pack" comment, but nice truck nonetheless! I would love a '93-'94 beater. Dailying a truck with cloth is quite nice.

Nope, it was a chevy luv, a c-10, and some kind of hatchback car.

Iron mountain resort. Ill have a video of our trip ready in a couple days.

Haha, I know I know. Guess it’s just a cloth, no alarm, car phone, roof rack 94 haha.

I don't know how you'll cope with your rear sliding window, running boards and flares. Might as well just sell now to cover your egregious mistakes.

Installed a Peak 1200 Wat Inverter with remote turn on, that includes the 110V Sockets and USB ports.. Put it in the PS rear quarter panel reused the sub-woofer bracket to mount the inverter and my amp below it.. My sub is now in the tailgate and the Inverter+Amp took it's place in the quarter panel.
