It’s a 91. I’ll look into that.
What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (37 Viewers)

The 91 has the shorter drive flanges. You can also remove the zerk, then install your cap. However, your caps may be too short for the axles you installed. You may need to change to the later model drive flanges.
Easy enough to dispute a cc charge
Switched back to oem. Got tired of my battery coming loose offroad.
I sprung a pretty good leak during a torrential downpour today. I’ve only noticed leaking around the grab handle before, and only during car washes.
As a first step, I ran some weed eater line as far down as I could go into the sun roof drains. Maybe got to 3 feet before binding up, presumably because of the natural curve in the line. It doesn’t seem there’s any major blockages, at least not close to the top.
I noticed there is a hairline gap around the exterior seal. Should I try running silicone all around to see if that helps?
Unfortunately upon closer inspection I see another issue developing. The dreaded windshield rust…
Thankfully this is the only (visible) spot, but I know it could be a different story underneath.

I just installed RCVs a few weeks ago and had the opposite problem, outer axle wasn’t sticking out far enough to install the spring clip. I ended up removing the drive flange, and temporarily installed the spring clip so I had something to grab to pull the axle out enough for the groove the spring clip sits in to clear the drive flange. In your case, you should be able to just push the axle in enough until the zerk clears the dust cap.
Got the old girl out to Windrock the week before last, 3 epic days.

It won’t clear, but I’m gonna try some after market caps. Your rig looks dope and looks like a blast!

You can dispute a charge. Or buy from a vendor that isn't famous for being a piece of s***?
I'll grab some pictures this next weekend but me and the gf are moving. The new place has a 1500 sq foot shop and a 700 sq ft detached garage. I'll finally have room for the 80 to park inside.

Cleaned her up after Relic Run a couple of weekends ago and picked up a nice M101-A2 trailer rig last week...I've been looking for something like this for a while, and this one popped up near me at a very reasonable price. I'll do a few updates with shocks, brake refresh, and lighting, but it's road worthy as it sits (with a lighting ground wire repair)...pulls like a dream and more than enough space now for those long weekend trips! Already equipped with the ARB RTT with annex, 23Zero 270 degree awning with full sidewalls, and a trick water storage tube...all mounted to super stout homemade cage. 
Long weekend? You mean 3 week trip?

I got it back on the road after a long 6months in the garage repairing the engine and trans!
White roof. Pretty cool.

I wish...3-4 days usually for the club sponsored stuff is a push already. I only camp in general out of necessity to be where the action is, but I may get to like it a bit more with this setup. Trip to Relic Run was 400 miles each way for me, and the closest rentable room was 45 minutes away which kind of kills the vibe of being there in the first place. I have a Gazelle T4, which is decent, but may just be a backup now for my son/s that will want to go on future trips.
Quick RTH question in here for visibility: The bottom line blew off my EGR Vacuum Modulator, am I safe to drive a few hundred miles like this?
No CEL, a little down on power. I have about 500 miles to go until I'm home or 160 to a place that has one in stock

Washed off some 2500 miles of dirt and grime. Remediated some minor surface rust. Interior is still a mess…

Yes you can drive. You will get a CEL at some point. I’d cap/block the vacuum lines as you might have a vacuum leak.

Holy crap. There’s some other stuff going on there…
