What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (67 Viewers)

[Feldrian]

Installed a bunch of parts in a marathon on Saturday before making it out to the Naches trail and Funny Rocks on Sunday. Spent 15 hours driving, which is more than I planned ... but that always seems to be the way days turn out when I wheel trails I haven't run before. Truck handled everything I threw at it really well.

Hey there. What size tires and lift you running? Those 315’s?

2” Heavy/heavy Ome lift. Without anything heavy in the truck. Is more like 3”. I figure when I add the winch bumper and tire carrier it will settle out a bit.

Yep, 315’s, stock gears. Drives fine. I don’t off road much so ok so far.

How hard is it? It also looks a bit like fluorite.

Personally, I think this is real sexy especially with gun metal wheels.

Cheers

I don't know. I don't have a hardness tester and they are so small I don't think I could test them.

According to my geology book the banded rhyolite I was busting open would have bixbite, topaz, and quarts/amethyst.

Not sure fluorite crystals would be found inside rhyolite.

I agree

my diesel tanks always sucked a lot of air in when I loosened the fuel cap, I did pull the cap apart a few yrs ago and all seemed ok. Finally found a breather line from the tanks with an inline 1 way valve thingy, replaced said thingy with a in line fuel filter. Hopefully sorted that out

Grew up in Fort Myers and my parents are still sheltering in place with no power as of this morning. The house we grew up in might be gone...finger crossed....
Glad you made it to safety

Watched a video (in my 80, does that count?) of my uncle's house getting ravaged by Hurricane Ian.
