What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (88 Viewers)

[SNLC]

Here is a rare one, bronze or maybe black chrome?

No it is not faded gold.

It’s a 10/1997 Collectors.

Cheers

Hey Brodie - Great info. I am going to have to do the same shortly. From your photos, I see fasteners / hardware, and isolators. Did the kit come with those ? How about the gaskets ? Any issues with fit-up ?

Thanks - 97LC80

5 day trip around Eastern Oregon with a few friends. We left a few hours late because the power was out overnight so I couldn't get into the garage to pack. First stop, Painted Hills

Driving into the first overnight in Burnt Ranch

Second spot in Leslie Gulch after floating in the reservoir

Saw Neowise and a whole bunch of meteors due to the dark sky, full sky nebula too

Then out to Alvord Desert for some shenanigans on the playa

Finally an overnight at Scout Lake

Snapshot of the load out we used. This is a modified KISS system with the left side cut out, I'm going to build a slider panel that can either go in the top rail for a sleeping platform or bottom rail for a cooler slider. The mattress is a modular kids' mattress set from IKEA with removable, washable covers and good supportive foam. Left side has the tent, camping table, and chairs; right side has the bins for kitchen and gear as well as the popup canopy. Not pictured is the stuff in the drawer, recovery and repair stuff in the tailgate storage, or the Trasharoo hanging off the spare tire.

All in the 80 was bomber the whole trip, the extra insulation helped a good bit with sound but not with the 100º heat, though we only lost AC cooling when we sat in some traffic. 14 mpg the whole time and didn't need the spare gas we brought for the long high desert stretches between gas stations. I was happy to have cruise control, AC, and definitely the drawer system… but I could really have used a turbo from @NLXTACY for the wide open roads at altitude.

That is an INTI clone, I made a few last year for 9 or 10 guys. About 1/2 the price of the original INTI.

Any chance you are still making INTI clones?

I haven't made one in quite a while. PM me and we can do a what if.

Looks like the "smoked chrome" badges to me that have maybe faded a bit. Only offered on the Collectors Editions from what I recall.

I liked those. Always thought they would look really cool on the stock white 80.

The color is Anthracite. All the badges and trim on my 1997 CE where same color.

At the wrap place....

Me: I was thinking about a dark green satin with a little flake, close to the stock color.
Wrap dude: yeah I got you. here, this is exactly what you want.
Me: ... ok **** it, why not?

I personally would rather rub gravel on my paint than have that color on my rig...but I won't deny that it looks like a clean job.

@camelflage it's a little too young for Radwood but it looks the part! I don't hate it.

I think you're wrap guy is color blind. Purple is not green.

That definitely gets your attention. Looks great! How much does a shimmering, iridescent wrap go for?

$2200 all in, including the body shop smoothing out the places where the clear was all peeled up before the wrap.

Quick overnighter for some kayaking and watching the meter shower with a stop to play ball.
