What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (42 Viewers)

I stayed with the OEM front sway bar for now. Its probably the original at 34 yrs old. If and when it snaps, probably upgrade at that time and also go with some front sway bar links that disconnect.

My 80 had significant body roll when I got it. The recommendation from here was to replace the rear only (30mm Whiteline) with new links. I went LCP HD links
Noticeable difference with just those two upgrades.

No need whiteline in the ftonts. Maybe a disconnect kit ftom LCP. I have driven mine disconnected for 5 months and had no noticeable difference connected or disconnected on 315s

I appreciate all the insights. I think I'm going to stick with OEM and save a few bucks. Plus I already have all of the new hardware and bushings ready to go.

The same for me. I don’t even notice that the front is disconnected and I drive it at 85 mph + on a regular basis. I run heavy duty OME springs and OME shocks.

We had a relaxing weekend, with a couple of day hikes in the mountains and some mild Cruiser trailing to get to the point where we wanted to don the packs.


One of my friends purchased a stock '94 FZJ80 from me a couple of years ago. Since then it has grown up a little bit but he has not had it out an awful lot. We figured it was time to get it stuck now that it is getting more challenging to unstick. so we tackled a couple of spots know for delaying progress while we were out.

The real fun at Eska starts on the other side of the waterfall.

Engine coolant temp could have hit the AC cut temp.

Fix?

Back from the Gambler500, had a blast, picked up trash, drove some trails, met Dave Chapelle. The 80 did great, slow in the passes, but I expected that. I only saw one other 80 and it was much much nicer than mine.

You likely have cooling issues, causing the truck to run at a temperature where the AC will automatically turn off. Meaning, it’s running too hot. You need to fix your coolIng system.

A/C kicks off when the coolant temp hits ~226 F and will come back on after it drops to ~215 F.
