Just replaced my DS seatbelt. The belt was still in good shape but every now and then it wouldn't pull out and I'd have to inch it out and it would take a while to get enough to buckle it. I'm at about 375K miles so old belt did its job. Going to go drive around and test it out!

A v1 GFC RTT with their 80 series mounts. I've had it on 3 Cruisers.
I had a GFC platform for my Tacoma and when we sold it I picked up a Superlight for the 80. Was gonna go with the normal tent but I wanted a rack for when it’s removed.
I like GFC a lot but their pricing has gotten really high.
We paid $6000 and they sell for like $10k plus now.
10 God damn thousand for a tent?
The tent alone for an 80 is $5300, the platform tent for trucks is $10k. It’s crazy.
I have seen ARB RTTs that are electric that go for $5k many others can be had for sub $2k. Base price for a GFC is $3-4k. Is GFC the Gucci of RTTs?

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
It certainly looks like one.
Some of you might recall I was having an intermittent starting issue. Yes there was a draw on the system while using the "OFF" up/down feature for the windows. The other day I went out to go to work and the LC would not crank over. Had enough voltage to keep the radio presets and the clock up to date. I tried using the house battery via the Blue Sea ML-ACR with no luck, I also used my NOCO jump box. After letting it sit for 15-20 minutes with the jump box and house battery it cranked over.
Get to work and test the starting battery, 11.9 V and a whooping 34 CCA. Swapped out that battery and now I am good to go.

I just looked under mine and that section is not welded. I'm thinking it is just a crack in the grease.
Would take a wire wheel to that to make sure….
Bro that's more than most 80s are worth.
15k to save you 30 minutes of setup when camping? ****ing wild.
And I'm a guy who will dump endless money in a car(see the 70k in my f150)
OEM or rebuilt?
Used it to go hog hunting.

This post was like a flashing neon light that says, "I'm from Texas".
Test drove a 2014 LX570...something was wrong with the AHC so it wasn't very impressive. A couple weeks ago I test drove a 2006 LX470 and I liked that one better. Came back home and hooked up the battery in my (kind of mine....you know the story 
) 80 and it started right up. Like an old, well-fitting shoe, it was so comfortable to be inside.

I decided I wanted a dedicated truck gun and have been eyeing the Henry Homesteader since it seemed like a nice PCC that also has a little more character than a 9mm AR variant. It’s a modern tool with a throw-back legacy. Kinda like my 80!
Cleaned up the tailgate storage and cut some foam to hold the rifle and 2 mags. Ordered a Zeus Air battery pack/compressor from Uncharted and have room to cut a spot for it too.
