And just like that, with some wiggling of the starter connections, the car starts again.
Once I have some free time and it is not raining, Ill make sure to properly clean them.
Thanks again for the input!

Nice! I just had my G003s mounted this very morning.Mounted up 4 Yokohama 315-75-16 MT G003 on a spare set of LX rims....I like em
Cold weather here in the Midwest.
Had to replace my battery. After I neglected my 80 for 10 days, it showed me I needed to give it some attention with a brake booster, so I did that, thinking it would be happy.
No, it's more like my wife.....
I will continue to not let you forget that you neglected me.
Went to run errands, and it just clicked. I know part of it was that I walked away from it while I was working on the booster, but I didn't realize at the time that the brake lights were on for like 2 hours. It was weak when I finished that, but I figured the drive took care of that, but then it got COLD. Highs of 8°F.
Jump started the truck, ran a couple errands and left it run the entire time. Ended up at the grocery store that I knew I would have to go in, so I couldn't leave it run.
Came back out and it was dead.
I call the wife and listened to her for a bit as I asked to come help me jump start it.
A Good Samaritan stopped and offered me a jump start (I was already prepared for my wife with the hood up and the jumper cables hooked up) I'll admit, I was kinda "fishing" hoping someone would help, and they did!
I got it started, thanked him profusely, then called the wife to let her know she didn't have to come rescue me.
Went to O'Reilly's and they no longer had the 34RPLT (AGM) battery I have been using and they wouldn't have any for 3+ weeks. So, I went for a 24REXT (Lead acid) battery, with a few less CCA, but acceptable.
Drove home, and spent the next two hours in 5°F weather installing the new battery. I've got so many cables and wires around there and they were so stiff, I had to be careful.
I also found a MOUSE NEST under my battery! This is my DD other than that last time of being gone for 10 days. Wow! All the crap that goes on when I'm not around!
So, I fired it up (it even runs better....at least in my head) so I took it for a 40 minute drive.
I still need to tighten my belts again because when I sit at a light with my rear heater, defroster, AC, radio, rear defroster on, it drops to 11.5V at an idle (600 RPM) sitting at the light. It currently has an O'Reilly reman alternator in it and my original one is in a box but needs rebuilt..... Next project!
The problem goes away when I tighten the belts. They have a bit of a squeak to them right now.

Why Bulgarian?

Did a little custom winch plate at work. 1/4" cnc laser cut and bent 
There is also a 1.25" 90⁰ bend underneath in the back for added strength.
Not sure if anyone would be interested but I could churn these out pretty quick. I'm using it to start my custom bumper build but it would work as a hidden winch mount behind factory bumpers if you're into that sort of thing. Feel free to hit me up if you want one.

Speaking of Camp Verde ..... I saw your cruiser this morning on my way to work. Enjoy your stay , So many great back roads nearby to explore.
I dunno, that's what Google said. Google is sometimes wrong, was it wrong this time?Why Bulgarian?
Well, Bulgarian and Russian are very similar but still deferent languages. Since "bro" is kind of slang, hence in Cyrillic languages is "Братан"
Is it in the US? Can I ask for the catalog number?
На болгарском ???
Yep, in US. Not sure about PNs, but you can contact directly "Rosen Aircraft Visors". The price will surprise you...
What wheels are those?
WHAT IS THE HORRIBLE AD I WAS SERVED. I don't like KANDI and I don't want a car with smaller wheels than my rolling luggage. And, what terrifying algorithm served this add after browsing: wittsend, Marlin Crawler, Exitoffroad, etc....it's almost like they know I get 12 MPG or something.... LoL on refresh I was served up an ad for Mercury Outboards....that's better.
You can admit it, we won't judge you here....... somebody was shopping for a prius
they are 17'' stealth Custom Series BR6. the centers need to be bored to clear the hubs and the center caps no longer work.

What did you have to do to you ARB to fit the 8274?
Nice I wish I was there looks super fun
Thank you for doing it right! I am amazed at how many 80s I see on here that have deleted the running boards, and left the little plastic piece hanging off the rear door flare! UGH its such a pet peeve of mine. Don't know how in the world people can let that thing just hang there without taking it off with the rest of the running board.
