What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (38 Viewers)

[saucejones]

Took out starter to replace. Had to wait a day for part order. Broke my clavicle the next day. Proceeded in retail therapy while “healing” by buying a bunch of more goodies from wits end.
.
Got cabin fever and decided to attempt installing the starter, and did it! It just took me 2 hours with one hand though. The rest of the stuff I got.
Eh well we will see….

Are those the 10% angle version?

 

[RKTINC]

I bought it, had the transmission plug washer replaced and started tightening up all the loose screws. I had my mechanic check all the fluid containers top to bottom and determine the steering issue. Old tie rod is the issue. Other than that, it runs great and has no leaks, zero rust and runs like a new one. Looking forward to checking out this site and others LC’s. I‘ve had many 4runners and Tacoma’s but never a LC. Cheers!

Nice one!!!

Did you change out your U-Joints as well?

Yes, by way of new OEM driveshaft, as well as rear end rebuilt by the best in the biz (Zuk), and the truck is part-time so half of the equation is ruled out.

No they're the 20-degree ones. 10-degree would have sat flatter out

Watched this fly off at 80mph. Circled back to get it just in time to see it get run over.

Anybody have one? 93-94 champagne. Me love you long time!

I had my front driver's flare start flapping on me while driving down the highway and pulled over soon enough to save it. I guess the pins just give up over time. I replaced all the pins at home and she's tight as a drum now.

you win some, then lose some...

installed new TREs. Lots of heat to get the old ones out. They're still mostly decent except one which has a torn boot and has a bit of play. TREs are cheap so went ahead and replaced them all. Plus it gave me the chance to finally straighten the steering wheel. WIN.

then i lost my gas gauge backlight . Can't see crap at night -- LOSE

I'm a fan of the Raptor liner, but not so sure about it being used on the bumpers.

I use it to cover up my poor fabrication skills. If I was going the lazy route and just bought my bumpers, I'd probably powder coat them.

Is that the new "swaybar disconnect" collarbone? Lets you scratch your own back easier?

No, that's what happens when you hit whoops at 60mph on stock suspension and the swaybar disconnects itself.

How are those Yokohama tires? I’m looking to replace my ko2 soon.

Not my truck but, yes, they are. I have the same tires.

Edit: I read your question incorrectly. My apologies. To answer your actual question: I don't know because I've had mine for less than a week.

Absolutely love them. People think I'm fibbing when I say they are quiet. They are. Great ride and awesome offroad.

I’m looking at 305/70R16 and they are cheaper than compared to the KO2.

Replaced front window motors and regulators with new OEM. It's a little bit faster now.

Also swapped out mirrors with new OEM. The rubber and paint are a lot newer looking now.

Replaced bend tie rod after the Rubicon with new HD tie rod and new 555 rod ends per @baldilocks recommendation. Let's see how HD they are...time will tell.
