What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (68 Viewers)

[Vulkyn]

Well, since you're not a camel, then your toe is not that popular.

I would try to have the first coat of primer on it within 10 minutes after sanding. I would also try to sand and paint in small sections rather than the entire piece all at once, at least for the etching primer. Once the primer is on, then you can recoat or top coat within the time frame listed on the can.

Also, for clarification, I believe you are referring to an aluminum bumper, not a fender.

As @Dusten said, for aircraft, they work within 12 hours of sanding that it must be reworked. Aircraft has a higher grade of aluminum alloy and will oxidize slower than the softer aluminum that you most likely have on your bumper. So, the sooner, the better.

Yes bumper ..... (XD on the Camel comment, the idea is to show case the solution not any form of toes ...)
Yah in that case it can be divided into pieces sand and paint then move on the next section.

I want to learn the process so will eventually do it myself in all cases its not going to be worse then what I have (I hope!)

Cheers

I'm pretty happy with it. I moved the scope a 1/4 moa right and down after this group. That should get me right where I want.

I am really loving this Tract scope. With my current load zeroed at 220 yards I can basically aim dead on an elk out to 250 yards and than use my hold overs out to 620 yards.

Next step is to get out and shoot at 500 and 600.

Polished the turd a bit after the other week’s mishap… vacuumed out the glass, cleaned things up a bit…

Waiting on trim parts, they’ll show up eventually.

In place yeah, if I had access to a lift it would be a lot easier for sure

My Next Project!

Officially retired it from daily driver duties.

Finally had a DC front shaft built - arrived last night, installed today. Had the front out for a few weeks & new one is just as smooth as no shaft. Nice having drive to the front wheels back too.

I dearly love this truck, but I question owning it all the time, as it’s overkill and doesn’t really get to do what it was built for (other than be awesome and continue to go). It’s not that I should be in a Prius, but a stock earlier 4runner is more my “honest vehicle.” I don’t have a lot of dollars to work with, but somehow spending money improving it is reinvigorating every time, big or small

Finally got the CDL to engage after removal and cleaning, didn’t lock the actuator on install so I got to do it twice! Front and rear lockers engaged once I got some gravel. Now I just gotta adjust idle and put some miles on this pig so I can post it for sale!!.

I need to do the same. I've been putting off because im lazy.

Truck was running rough and giving a P0305 code. Pulled the spark plug and it was all to hell. So replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor while I was at it. Running like a champ now.

It’s really not that bad to take out. I used two jack stands and lowered the rear trans mount down prob 4”. A 12” deep and shallow socket and a 3’ pry bar. 10 minutes to clean and reinstall. My shift fork was stuck in the t case so I had to bang on the sprocket with a rubber mallet to break things loose. Greased the best I could and jacked up the rear left week spun the shift fork gear and tire until it locked. Then lock the actuator via the cdl button or shifting into 4l and apply some rtv/fipg and install east as that!

Trying out the scanGuage III

It's too big but has a touch color screen and Gal left in tank. I use this feature a lot on long trips. Otherwise I would use the @Lutz Auto

I ended up using my clock mount with a printed ball to the magnet mount that came with the scan guage.

Also made a dome light holder, is not an issue if the door is closed. Like my kids run by and close the door.

Well it's not the weekend but I dropped off 80 to full repaint. Here are the before pic's, in a couple of months I'll get back. I have resisted doing this for quite awhile but, I actually think I won't be upside down in it when its done........ it's nice to have dreams

I took rocky to a nice day trip, first true offroading experience for me ... way too much adrenaline..... still camped by Karoon lake in the middle of desert that used to be a rain forest!

Had no idea we had such a place in Egypt
