I actually went Wednesday. Didn’t know anything about the ride this weekend. I need to keep an eye out for stuff with people wheeling their 80s. Would love to see some other 80s in action.
So far so good. They are a bit loud but every mud tire I’ve had has been when they get a little worn in. I found these barely used with the wheels locally for $1000 so I couldn’t pass them up. I do think I’d buy them again.
Did do the "non" Relic Run this weekend. First time this 80 has been on a ride.
Suspension installed last sat, fresh birfs/seals sun, locker and a new #2 injector went in Tues night (wow 3FEs with 6 cylinders firing are not bad..), brake pads/shoes Thurs. Long week!
But was worth it to have no issues.

Nice looking rig ! I like the colors!
Pull her out of the shop for a spa treatment 
Then checked the locker's like I always do before the up coming Wheeling trip everything's good

I'm about to do a white roof, just like that.Pull her out of the shop, a spa treatment
I did almond to match the armor. I used Monstaliner, did the roof with one quart and rolled it on two coats. I also did a roof rack delete at the same time.
The Monstaliner is super durable and has a UV blocker. Very happy with it !

I'm probably going to use Raptor. I'll eventually line the whole truck, but I'm not ready for that project.
IMO the Monstaliner has a smother finish. Won't grind you like sand paper. A sponge slides over it easily but is super durable. I few friends/ members did there hole 80 with it really held up to rock crawling abuse but looks more like paint then Raptor.
And you can roll it or spray it.
I’ve been digging deep. This initially started as a faulty injector plug……

Washability is something I hadn't considered. That's actually really important on the roof, because I'm going to reinstall my rack. The two things that had me leaning to Raptor were a) the ability to create a matte finish by manipulating the spray pattern, and b) the second picture here.
I don't want different textures, so whatever goes on the roof will go everywhere else, just in two stages.
Having just washed mine I would say it's smother then both of those pictures. I would say that that Monstaliner in the second picture was not installed correctly.
I also just did the finders on my car trailer, both jobs I rolled they both look smother. The instructions say if you spray it come out smother.
If you want I can get you pictures of my roof tomorrow

Sure, if you think of it.
To be clear, it's not the texture I don't like in that picture - it's the giant scratch.

Whoa! I'd go with option two. Impressive what they do with the 1FZFE in the middle east. V8s are almost common now...unless you means v8 toyota diesel!Thinking out loud.
I got an LX450 in decent shape without an engine I bought for cheap.
The plan has always been v8 swap it, make it a sleeper and mostly street Cruiser.
I can however buy a 1FZFE coil pack complete engine that’s in my shop for fairly cheap. It needs a light rebuild at the minimum.
So trying to decide on v8 with an auto or turbo’ed coil pack 1FZFE with a manual transmission.
Cheers

Upgrades are coming.
Drove it through Western North Carolina and through the Smoky's. Got it home, barely fit in my garage!

Are things in Western NC starting to come back together? Man, those poor folks took a beating over the past year.
Popped up to Dublin, GA to see @slow95z and pick up a truckload of parts for new '95 project. No room for my camping gear with all the parts but I did head up into NC for some wheeling to get her dirty. Very impressed with my mileage on the trip - 3 full tank fill ups - 15.8mpg, 15.1mpg & 15.6mpg. Not bad on 315's although I stick mainly to back roads where I can drive as slow as I think.
