What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (50 Viewers)

[suzuguru]

Moved the rack over to the 80 from the LX470. Had to measure, drill new holes, get longer bolts, manhandle it into place by myself .

Looks like a nice piece of property you've got there.

Replaced both front window regulators with motors. Mine were still working but were extremely slow and would occasionally stop altogether. I went with the AISIN from Rock Auto. They definitely work much better now, but I'm not impressed by the speed at which they go up or down. As you can see in the pictures, the driver's side was particularly nasty.

There's already a lot of info online about fixing slow windows but I feel what helped significantly on mine after cleaning and regreasing the motors and regulators is cleaning out the window guides, especially the sections inside the doors.

Well, it's not much, but it's a hell of a lot more trustworthy. New hood latch, I need to run the new cable, but this makes me happy

I found the bracket that connects the hood latch to the core support and installed it, happy to have a hood I can close with one finger now and doesn't wobble at highway speeds. Also installed the new release cable. Very straightforward jobs with a 100% quality of life improvement.

A few weekends ago. If it looks familiar, let me know. Up high in WV. Great camping spot, no signs of recent use. Seldom traveled road. Great find.

Looks more like a pipeline (Natural Gas gathering line) right of way to me. Does not happen to be about 15 miles as the crow flies dead east of New Martinsville and a bit north of the dot on the map called Knob Fork does it??? Looks a lot like a one I walked up and down many many times circa 2011/2012. But I have worked a lot of those gathering lines in that area so they all kinda look the same. LOL

All that said no line markers, so could be an abandoned right of way or was an access road to get to one as well.

Prep time….

Great guess!!! Pipeline in the steepest section I have seen. Behind Seneca Rocks, ENE of Yokums. I couldn't go down the next section. Incline was worse than 45 degrees or so it looked.

LED or original incandescent?

Incan. Let me know if you want the link. It was a little big for the antenna switch but it did work. It was the perfect fit for the rear defrost and the hazard.

I'll take it, please. Hazard light is burned out.

Thanks! Installation straightforward?

Thanks! Installation straightforward?

Yep. Let me know if have questions. Just make sure to see how the old wires run along the housing from the bulb. I found the corner of a razor blade worked best to get under the old wire to lift it off of the old housing.

out of interest, what bulb did you use, from what i gather you have manually replaced the bulb in the original holder.
i would like to know as getting the replacement bulb/holder as one here in Aus is becoming a bit of a challenge and very pricey for what they are

I think I found the root cause of my intermittent running issue that's been annoying me for the last year....

Injector 1-5...all looking ok...and then number 6!

Lots of goodies heading my way since this is apart.

Can you list the symptoms you were experiencing? I have a heater control valve that was leaking really bad. I have the car all apart now to redo the cooling system. Maybe I’ll check that injector on mine too. I have a low idle. No cold start idle and it drops below 650 when fully warm and vehicle feels like a Harley Davidson. Not sure if it’s injector related or what. Works fine when you give it a tiny bit of gas and raise rpm above 650-700ish.
