Beautiful scenery in good weather, but a tough part of the world when it is not..
Last I heard there were a couple of fatalities and 20 or so still missing in Western NC from those rains.

Yeah we were in the thick of that area while it was happening. Our area was evacuated, but we were out exploring when it happened while we left the offroad trailer and Jeep behind. Came back to HOLY SH*T and a blocked road that forced us to leave it behind. Waters came up but didn’t flood out the Jeep - we were lucky.
Would love to! I’m actually in North Georgia now, though. Got a boat rented for tomorrow and a wedding on Saturday.
We’ll be back!
Forgot I had this 1500w inverter laying in the back of the truck unwired and unused, figured I’d make light work of getting some 240v in the rear.
Only drops .1v at max draw for my application; was expecting worse going from 40amp battery cable to 15amp for the in-line fuse.
Currently drawing from the AUX battery, so will be running the car when inverter is in use so that the alternator is supplying power rather than sucking my battery dry.

Wow! Bring out the high bidders! Never taken Offroad! Zero rust! Cold A/C. Slight clearcoat peeling. Seats don’t go forward, it’s a cheap fix. Find of the day

Because it is an 80 series someone should buy it, drain and refill the fluids and fire it up, it will probably last another several thousand miles!
I would lIke to know the back story of how it made it to the River!,

Mine has the gold package
Also upgraded the sun visors with ones from a 93 500SEL. $23 bucks for the pair and the grey is a nice match. The mount holes were a bit off so I just swapped over the LC's old ones. I have new clips on the way as the old ones were a little brittle and one snapped. These new ones are easy to keep clean and they extend to cover the whole door. No more button snap for me.
Taking a short break with fighting with the small mechanical items to knock out some lock actuators that had gone bad.
Rear passenger and hatch replaced. The rear hatch was a real pain in the ass to do if I’m being honest. Lube was pretty gnarly so greased up the parts while I was in there.
Also got a new key cut, unfortunately the hatch key still seems frozen. Might have to pull the cylinder at some point down the line.

Made a customer a new kill switch key that wasn’t bright red and instantly recognizable for his 80
I know how hard it is to capture lightening in a pic. Even if you vid then select a screenshot. AZ monsoon has some amazing lightening shows that I’ve tried to capture, over the past few seasons. Very cool!!
Emptied a rattle can onto the new bumper for now and put all the stuff on it just so I could enjoy driving around for a bit while thinking of any last changes before committing to raptor.
