What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (41 Viewers)

Added keyless entry. No more jiggling the key in the lock praying it'll open. Best mod to date? Maybe!

Used this thread:

How to add only remote keyless entry & locking to 1994 FZJ80

I've just finished a rather long and confusing process of installing remote keyless locking to my 94 80 series and thought I'd write up my experience for anyone else that wants keyless remote locking without alarms, lights, remote start and etc. Besides the ease of using a remote to enter and...

Nothing like a Wits End box to Brighten your day

Next

Pulling and inspecting CATs

New modulator, bottom tube cracked blew exhaust up and melter the base. I thought I had an exhaust leak from my 1fz refresh a couple months ago

It's my fault, I split the bottom vac hose while removing during 1fz tear down and forgot, also didn't write it down on my motor assembly parts list.

Gotta get to the break Booster and master installed. Went Aisin master and Seiken Booster.

Rough-in of my kitchen drawer. Fit is tight but manageable. It’s not screwed onto the slides yet so no fully extended shots tonight.

Looks super nice!

The drawer fridge and sleeping platform is exactly what I have been thinking about.

Is that the 30qt dometic drawer fridge?

Yes it is. My rig came with a nice ARB 50qt but I needed a flat surface to sleep two. The Dometic drawer fridge was key.

Remember those are right hand drive vehicles, I don't think you can get the Crown booster in a US spec rig due to the intake manifold.

Lexus LS GS 00-04 has a same brake booster

 

[Obrokoff]

Those look great, any plans on covering them with upholstery or leaving them as is?

Yep.

 

[Obrokoff]

I am looking at this option from PDI Coolers in Australia Dual chamber brake booster They carry one for the early 4 bolt master and late 2 bolt master cylinders that were used on the 80 series.

Looking great.
Will you share the autocad files?
I had the same idea, but don't know how to copy the panels to a drawing program.

I can sell it to the community for $50 or give it away for free for help in buying and sending me an accuair e-level controller

Finished up my winch install...thanks again to @GGM for the mount plate which worked perfectly for me! Didn't think that I'd have time to finish up this weekend after my sorry looking painting attempt, but found a local powdercoater that hooked me up with same day service. Anyone in the Annapolis/Baltimore area, check out @pasadenapowercoating for great service...he can handle bumpers, wheels, bike frames, etc.

This weekend I ordered a new security system, found out my windshield wiper bracket was broken, and noticed I am getting some noise out of the pulleys of my front end. The kid drove it into a lake and got it stuck so new discoveries daily.

Installed my adj. rear panhard bar and got it dialed in.

Which drop bracket is that for the panhard on the frame side? Never seen one like that as an alternative to the Delta VS

Giving my LC a good wash this weekend and noticed this...tell me it's not horrible?? I have almost no rust on my LC but this is concerning and I'm not even sure what it is.

Mine has the same issue. Welding in a new piece of 12ga with a nut is the way. This design for a critical life safety device is awful.

Received my seat belt back from Safety Restore. The color isn’t a perfect match but close enough.

Went to the clcc's fall crawl and hung out with an amazing bunch of folks. Other than a case of the death wobbles caused by mud and my lockers being finicky I had no real damage and had a awesome time.

I am selling a motor I was going to rebuild for me but a gentleman reached out and it worked out so I rebuilt it to his spec. I am in the process of getting a good side hustle going with selling 1fz-fe’s but they are hard to come by. Also selling 80’s after I get a above average baseline and refresh. It will take time as I have a full time job and wife and kids.

That's great. Re-building and selling 1FZ's is one hell of a side hustle so props to you. May be a customer when the times comes for me to replace my engine.

It’s the 22” two burner stove by Partner Steel.
