What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (34 Viewers)

[COYS]

So now reach out to saftey restore and see if they’ll rebelt them with the oak web

Mine are already done by them. Not 100% happy with the retraction action.

Installed one of those fancy rearview camera mirrors. Nice little upgrade since any bit of cargo in the back means your rearview mirror is useless most of the time. This one is the Wolfbox G900 with 4k front camera and 2.5k rear camera. Screen can be quickly dimmed by swiping on the screen.

These are normally hang off your OEM mirror but I removed mine and used a Wits End mirror arm & block. I have a custom overhead console so I needed the extra bit of clearance to make everything fit. Mirror is hardwired up at the sunroof controls. Console makes it easy to hide all the wiring.

Camera is mounted up on the rear windshield to replicate the view you get from a rearview mirror. Washer nozzle was bypassed years ago so no worries about blocking it.

Nice visibility at night on my driveway

Mirror has a button underneath to quickly put the display to sleep. Screen is reflective so it almost works like a traditional mirror with the screen off.

@jcardona1, where did you source the overhead console and electronic gauges?

Custom 3d Printed Overhead Consoles for 80 Series

I have started printing some overhead consoles for the 80 series trucks. There a few to choose from. Gray and tan/oak. Im planning making a few other designs. Maybe one for a CB radio, a blank plate so you can cut your own holes, and anything else that you guys might have a need for. Let me...

My buddy Aiden (he owns LRA) is just finishing up his FTE swap.

He stopped by and we took it for a rip, it goes way better than I expected but he is running over 30psi.

Cheers

Sometimes they follow you home… 1993 FZJ80, 277k, 2 owners (same family), TX truck, lockers, leather, power seats, 4 wheel disc, ABS , lots of dirt. Dark Gray Metallic/Blue Slate. Will be selling a rust free NM 1994 FZJ80 very soon.

 

[Ragnaroek]

Finally got to the rust removal/rocker
chop on the other side of the truck. Still some welding to do, but there's light at the end of the tunnel.

And it was still running???

And it was still running???

No. Client had wherewithal to shut it down when the situation became obvious.

But looking at the pistons and cylinder walls, it had been running very poorly for many, many miles. #2/3/6 con bearings toasted, along with the rods.

All of the pistons are toasted with deep scores and ridges above the #1 ring.

About 75k running on veggie oil. Not sure if its involvement in it (don’t particularly have much knowledge of running veggie for long periods of time on an old diesel engine).

Interesting that they were running it on veg oil. If you learn anything else about that from the owner, let us know. It would be interesting to know if it had anything to do with it.

Is that a Slee bracket?

 

[jpoole]

About 75k running on veggie oil.

I wonder if it may have been more an issue of tune than one with the alternate fuel source itself. Were they running it lean perhaps? Where they monitoring the relevant temps very closely?

 

[JoeCova]

Yes, I painted it for a more finished look.

Agreed on tune, etc. Engine installed by others. Not sure if the others tuned IP, etc.

 

[Fj80oregon]

Another one coming apart and looking nasty!!! But this one is gonna be saved no rod knocks just a blown head like usual.

 

[Fj80oregon]

Timing chain cover bone yard. Maybe make a montage one day.
