My 80 is a 94 and did not come with a hitch or roof rack from the factor. It has 168k miles so I decided to throw a hitch, wire it to receive the Curt Echo Bluetooth e-brakes to pull my pup. Traveled about 700 round trip to test it out and do a couple days fishing. Was real slow going and bit boring drive. I usually tow the pup with my 2011 FJC which does waaaay better at towing. But bottom line is I need a pickup to tow more comfortable. Suffice to say I won’t tow with the 80 again. Not worth it.
Not exactly a this weekend mod, but i was tired of the ''home depot mod'' air oil separator not doing its job and having to be drained once a week from filling up with condensation. So i made a catch can out of a 20 oz radiator overflow tank and tapped my own fittings i had lying around. The OLD setup used to still let some oil vapor pass through and this new setup is collecting EVERYTHING into the can with an easy drain that goes next to the evaporator tube. Packed it full of steel wool as a baffle. All for under 100$
PDM mostly installed!
This was quite the experience since this is the first time I ever designed and build a bracket. Definem want to revisit since I chose the worse mounting points ever. Plus there is a lot of waste space and it will interfere with the location of a 2nd battery if I ever go that route.
But for now, Ill count it as a win!

I’ve been thinking of the Yota Teq lights…..just curious why you used Tacoma kit and not the 80 series kit?
Mounted a fire extinguisher with a couple of home made brackets and an old piece of angle iron. Actually fixed the seat motor last weekend.
Replaced the power steering reservoir with a salvaged one I cleaned up. A shame the original crapped out after only 29 and a half years.
Looks awesome!!! That's the rack I want as soon as it becomes available. I love how your build with all that @Delta VS stuff! Any noticeable noise coming from that rack?Damn Bowfin @dogfishlake makes a classic, killer roofrack
So happy with the install, fit, and finish

Finally got around to extending diff and Tcase breathers. Glad I did. The little line coming off the T on the top of the case was rotting off the nipple on the T…would have failed.
Also. Wrapped up the Sliders. Dang. These thing are like wings.
Feel like the WKOR tuck up a little nicer, but these should also eliminate door dings.

Nice work on the mount and your first drawing! I watched a few tutorials on that program and love it. Fingers crossed I can install it on my work computer and cant wait to start dreaming things up lol. It's cool to make things by hand but with crap tooling I have I would much rather design it and have someone else do it right and much quicker.
Sleeping in the back of an 80 is the best place to sleep
. Well 2nd best...I have to say the best is actually a Vanagon Syncro 
What's all that tape or whatever it is on your air cleaner housing?
Installing ComeUp Winch 12.5rs Slim and Ironman Bumper / the overland build
Reflective foil for heat
Sliders look great! Did they deliver direct to your home address? As opposed to a receiver location with a dock?
