What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (95 Viewers)

[JohnnyFish]

Off to a good start. After several instances of blood letting from jagged plastic and an exposed steel edge, the belt molding got replaced. Simple job but should have ordered the mirror triangle because it snapped during removal as I thought it might. I should do the other 3 too, but I don’t sit in those seats.

IIRC solve function has a 3d printed mirror triangle with a tweeter cutout if you’re interested.

He does. Another option for a Ram mount too. I’m still putting it back to factory but considered them.

Nice paint looks new

Original on that side. Ran it through the Oasis Car wash and got the ceramic upgrade,$19.95 monthly, hence the stylish air freshener (new car scent) hanging from the mirror.

I cut a hole in the triangles for tweeters a few years ago on a previous truck. Used a hole saw. Worked great and sounded great.

Decided to mount my new to me dobinsons front bumper. Cleaned it up a bit. It’s been 5 months since I did my repaint and finally did the gasket thing and remount 2 of 6 fender flares . Starting to look grizzly !!!! Loving it .

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….

You broke your collar bone changing your starter?

I guess i forgot to mention how,

Are you sure you don't have a blocked rear drain on your sunroof? That looks very much like a water stain.

Change the battery terminal connectors, and drove to the gas station for the first time in over 2 years. lol

No sunroof.. I agree it does look like water damage, possibly from the old windscreen, has been dry on the front end since replaced.. never saw the extent on how far it travelled so must’ve gotten back there!

1995 I purchased last October and sold this June. New owner commented that she never skipped a beat. Two brothers left Creemore Ontario for a road trip through western Canada, up the Dempster highway via Dawson City Yukon to the Arctic Coast.

You need to photoshop in some polar bears and snow. Just looks like Laguna Beach

 

[Dubbinchris]

Had it out in CO last month. Took a trip to Long Island this month.

Looks like mom is still dressing the boys

I pulled my RCV rear axle flanges for inspection, axle and flanges were found to be in good shape no damage

All flange bolts cone washers and hardware were found tight and in good condition.
I do occasionally spin the wheels. LOL

I brought my first 80 from an ih8mud member in NY and driver it back to TX!
