The first photo looks like it came from a factory brochure. What a great looking cruiser!

Man I sure like to find one DS seat cover like that to match my cloth interior

Well ran out to grab some things with the truck and discovered the rear diff was leaking fluid. Made a good mess of the backend, smells lovely. Looks like the diff breather was jammed up. Bought some 1/4 hose and relocated the rear breather based on some previous threads. Replaced with a new OEM breather/vent. Not 100% that this fixed my leak issues, time will tell I guess. Ordered a pinion seal in case the damage was done there.

Also found I lost a rear sway bar connect link at some point. Couldn’t find a good place to get the bushings and link all together so I went with this: Rear Stabilizer Link Febest 0123-LC80R Oem 48802-60030
Amazon product ASIN B00HAOZDSI
Old one is frozen on pretty good so I have it soaking in PB Blaster until I give loosing it another go. Knocking out both sides while I’m doing it.

Damn man we got robbed.

I’ve never seen that “wood” trim before.

I’ve never seen that “wood” trim before.

I think the wood in the LX was from the same tree.

 

[ColoradoBoy]

I've got some reallllly crusty hard to remove adhesive sticking around from when my trim was removed. I think it might be beyond heating but maybe not. You use any other chemicals to remove it?

Try an automotive eraser wheel- I have had amazing results without paint damage.

 

[77mustard40]

I just ordered one to use on the tape/glue where the rear badge was, hoping it takes 25 years of hardened residue off.

 

[fzj71]

Is the 80 market there as bonkers as it is here?

The cost is between 7000$ to 15000$ According to the car's condition

Pismo Dunes with Tommy and Chad

We drove around the Dunes got stuck a few times...

Then we found a Jeep and Raptor stuck and tied to each other. Raptor was pulled out easily. The Wrangler turned into a Garage sale.

Jeep, bumper, winch and recovery point all seperated from each other.

I was also super stoked to meet the Ken from Hanna Quality and hear some great stories.

Also drooled over the U80 rig.

 

[Rdeschain]

Nothing major, but finally got the rig back from my mechanic after he spent about 4 hours removing the steering arm bolt I snapped when rebuilding the front left axle.
Found some used 2nd row step plates...no more waiting for a family member to put one of the studs through a flip-flop!

 

[Rdeschain]

Went and picked up a quarter cord of firewood (that's one of three wagon loads, plus the aftermath), then enjoyed a fire.

Wow that’s a REALLY big difference to mine!

So cool to see real rivets instead of f*%#g pop-rivets. I once had to remove a ton of pop-rivets from an old 1950s aluminum boat and return it to the original aviation rivets. Much fun!

Pop rivets are for unskilled lazy people. They think they are fast and good enough. A good riveting crew can bang solid rivets nearly as fast as those pieces of s*** pop rivets take to put in and last a 100 years longer! Plus they look way better

Sadly most people that should know better do not even know there is an option to pop-rivets. Say rivets and they think
