Just checked my nuts in the middle of the home depot parking lot. Front nut against the brake shield on the passenger side was loose loose. Tightened ‘er up but don’t want to go crazy without a torque wrench.

Funny that this was my earliest unread post in the thread, so it was the first thing I saw when I clicked in to write about the nuts :hmm: new hardware and nut locks are top of the shopping list now

I’m filling up the 80 owner bingo card fast..
 
Went camping last weekend to a lake at 11.6K, then hiked around the mountain that surrounded it. The peak was at 12.7 k and we saw a lot of wind destructions in the forest from Dec 2021. As always, it's a blast to drive the 80, show up at camp at O'dark thirty, then camp where no one is around.

Been wanting a cell booster for a while and finally got one this earlier this week. Got it installed this afternoon. Ended up making a simple bracket to hard mount it to my Prinsu rack.

It is definitely quieter in there the radio volume doesn’t have to be so loud to listen to a pod cast. Can’t wait to get the front and the doors done. I think the biggest noise reduction will come when I get a good set of tires and get ride of the PO old cooper stt pros that are rock hard
 
Wow, more pee than diesel :o

I have had mine for over 3 years now and maybe it's my Tmobile but it was a waste of $500View attachment 3729983

The mounting location isn't helping. Much of the signal is being blocked by the back of the truck. You'd be much better off if it was higher than the roof line above a horizontal surface.

I might be wrong but the manual says you want the antenna away from glass and as high above the vehicle as possible. We have the WeBoost and use it a lot when we drive to SD from Arizona and run the magnet antenna on the Rav4 now the 4Runner and where we had crappy signal we have better luck and do not drop signal so Apple music keeps playing and Podcasts are not interrupted.
 
Replaced the front panhard bushes last nite with OEM again.
Originals (560 odd kms) looked fine but showed signs of cracking / perishing in the rubber and i noticed a bit of wandering when slowing down on uneven roads recently.
Handling is much more positive after doing this and no more wandering
