What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (57 Viewers)

[Rouleur]

You should get some bud

That’s what’s great about this forum we can give each other a hard time I hope.
I’m sure if we sat around the fire having some beers we’d laugh about all this stuff!

 

[Rouleur]

I’m sure not everybody will love these when I install them!

 

[Rouleur]

I think you should try these tires!

 

[DirtyPepper]

Also in Ahwatukee... small world

Awesome!

I need to visit some friends down there in the next year and I am thinking about making the long (and expensive) drive from Washington...if I do, we should all meet up and hit a few trails!

Decided to take the simple drawers I made a couple of weeks ago and finish them off full-out. Welded some simple handles out of threaded rod I had. I like the industrial look. The wife really likes the slide out "counter top." Ha.

your work is so good...How did you make it? Did you follow some plans? I would to make a platform form my 80 as well but I don't have the skills or creativity!

 

[FJ80 Money Pit]

Oil change, new battery, and new wheels...2nd set of SCS F5's on an 80. Best aftermarket wheels IMO.

Nice! I put on my bronze rattle canned OEMs with some 35’s

I have seen some general ideas of what people build here and I've got some decent woodworking skills that I've picked up over the years. So just some trial and error with measurements and what not. Here is a photo of it fully stained.

Sam!!! You'll meet T-Rexi when you come down soon! I need some assistance with her windows and a few other electrical items.
Man, I feel guilty. This truck is so clean, Matthew was more than reasonable and helpful on the transaction, and the rust is just isolated to one dogleg as he said. @Deathvalleypaul has one on the way! Aaron at Summit Transport got her here swiftly and safely. Are you referring to the Grunter turbo and other bits I've been saving for her? I fully support your Chevota dreams! Me, I'm rolling coal.

Truly a dream come true!

The underhood shots my man!

Got to get some of those.

 

[Rouleur]

Well, removed the foghorn that came off the Mayflower and a km of chicken wire.
All factory again!
Get this beauty installed for some euro quads

I see the turbo badge on the grille. JDM?

I have a friend who imports JDM rigs. Plus I have one. Every single one has that much ****ing wiring. It's maddening

 

[Rouleur]

Hey Dusten it’s a euro LHD.
Just some kind of general Lee fog horn that was it.
Everything else is good totally unmolested.
I really feel blessed to have The opportunity to own this old girl!

How long did this project take you from start to finish? I have a few days off in the summer, I would love to put something like this together. I think it would make car camping so much easier by folding down the 2nd row seats and having an instant bed.

Some seat jackers:

Stared at her through the window:

Took me about 40 hours from start to finish, including paint and carpet the last set I built. Could have been done faster but I am picky about things looking clean and nice…. Next set I am likely gonna build this summer for my lx will take a few more hours as the additional features are going to take some time to engineer in place and make it all look nice.

Where'd you get the quad light adapter from?

 

[Godwin]

Prepping to tow a 40 with the 80 tomorrow and needed the 60 to winch it on. This was after spending ca. 2 hours pulling, rebuilding, and reinstalling the stater on the 80. I'd forgotten the contortions needed to pull the starter. Afterwards thinking it wasn't that bad, but it also wasn't 2F starter easy to yank.

This is hand made for JW Speaker lamps.

Got out of the hospital, then did this. Thankfully everyone was ok. 0 damage to mine.

Glad everyone is ok! Not sure if I would appreciate pictures of my frightened child on the internet. And it hurts getting rear ended.
