What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (32 Viewers)

3/4 of a service
Spark plugs, leads, dissy cap and rotor, coil, PCV hoses, intake hose, air filter.
Not done: oil and filter.
Additional to do: heater valve...glad it broke here not out in the sticks somewhere...
Was going to replace the PCV valve but seemingly didn't order the little grommet.

No idea how old spark plugs are, they don't look particularly old. Leads were 1996 dated, suspect cap and rotor were original too.

Nice work! Love seeing some preventative maintenance.

Haven't had this truck long and always like to get a baseline before all the fun mods start

Yesterday my new to me 94 got pads and rotors all around and seat covers. Today I took its first drive at highway speeds and was pleasantly surprised with how it felt. A little slop in the steering but nothing that feels unsafe. Need to change the accessory belts tonight or tomorrow and she should be good for daily driving for a bit.

Well, the last few weekends, I've been removing, cleaning, repairing, rebuilding the front and rear axles (re-gear to 4.88), and the entire brake system. New front axle shafts and birfs, with all new related bearings, seals, etc. I have been trying to be thorough- if it comes off the rig, I want it to be cleaned, wire brushed, acid washed, and painted. First time using POR-15 paint- I'll be very happy if it does half of what everyone claims as to length of protection. I wish I could remove entire axle housings to paint, but will wait for a future time slot. Scope creep has gone into pulling suspension arms for cleaning and paint, since my rattle can paint job when I replaced bushings is about done.
I was thrilled to get the rear axle put back together yesterday, and should have my new front gears & locker (I'm already in there, RIGHT?!?!) back from the shop this week & begin re-assembly of the front axle.

Pics or it didn't happen, right?

Swapped the OEM rear sway bar to a Whiteline, truck feels much more stable. Also replaced a dead window motor and knocked out the window runners and trim molding at the same time

Decided to ditch the roof rack. And give her a bath.

Found the source of my washer fluid leak

Also deleted the fitting for the headlight pump since I removed them a while ago

i have seriously been contemplating pulling my roof rack. I maybe use it once a year to haul camping stuff.

I installed the throttle control cable. But I was not aware that it had to be installed a certain direction, so my knob is upside down. Take that as you may... LOL

I wanted one for the longest time. And as I've owned it two years I've honestly said "in wish i had a roof rack maybe 2 times. So I gave up the idea.

I really wanted one from bowfin but I just don't see myself using it enough to warrant the money

I use mine less than that. I had my roof painted though and it somewhat protects it, especially from pinstripes.

Cheers

PO put a nice frontrunner rack on mine and I’ve done some tweaks to it, but I also never really use it. I’ve been thinking about ditching mine also.
