What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (27 Viewers)

[COYS]

Yeah it's tough moving on from the stock wheels. Some vehicles it's a no brainer but 80 wheels are great.. light, strong, almost indestructible it seems like, good looks. Tough to beat that with aftermarket

I personally couldn't dump the stock wheels fast enough. Plenty in the aftermarket that provide a headache-free ownership experience with even better specs/looks at very fair prices.

Finished up my @Delta VS bulkhead and ceiling rack storage install today. It was a wrestling match to get some of the hardware threaded, due to my not being able to fully remove the rear trim panels (due to the drawers and electrical socket for my fridge installed into a trim piece), but it feels rock-solid and rattle free back there. I re-aligned my fridge slide to match the top of my drawers and it’s all feeling very organized and OCD “just so” to me. Soothing.

The window panel and ceiling rack are a little shallower than I’d envisioned but the whole setup leaves plenty of room to get organized. I’m going to love having hard points to strap stuff to - no more crap falling forward into the back seat from my former ceiling net.

Now I just need to find some cool bags with molle / velcro backings for tearaway storage.

OEM panhard bushings installed and panhard back in places. New fasteners were used and were torqued, new bolts come with a coating of red loctite. I applied a dab of torque chek to the bolt heads but I doubt these will back out.

When I swapped in the poly bushings years ago I did it at @Waorani shop and Ed knocked out an aluminum bushing press on his lathe. I still have that press and put it to use today to install the OEM bushings. Assistance at the press by @cruiserinsanity to hold the rod and align pressing tools was invaluable.

Spare 2F going in for a rebuild. M416 hooked to 80, 2F loaded and strapped down, and 80 will be running it to the shop tomorrow.

Removed the flares and used temporary plugs until I TIG them closed and washed off all the moon dust from the Rubicon.

Do you have a build thread by any chance?

Prepping to paint hatch after welding spoiler holes.
If you’ve ever painted in your garage you know the paint falls everywhere so lots of plastic!

Installed the Ironman 4x4 drop down brackets on my radius arms. Completely corrected my pinion angle and steering looks proper now. Muched needed with my 3.5in lift. Also did new spark plugs, new spark plug wires and a new distributor, I had to order a timing light but planning on bumping up the timing since I never drive below 4000 feet

Got two more core engines back! The shops multiplying 1fzfe’s!!!

Lol Ill take one. Any plans to liven them up? Wondered if any 2jz parts would cross over. I think only the ignition/fuel system stuff would.

Yes they will be completely gone through and rebuilt with OEM parts. No 2jz parts will be utilized.

I figure it was just a pondering allowed type of thing
