What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (42 Viewers)

[McGrinnan]

I know its way after the weekend but have been busy. I replaced all the tie rods, the steering stabilizer, tire rotation, alignment, steering wheel adjustment, double din install with gps and backup camera, all but the 9th speaker replacing, remote starter install, still a little loose steering hopefully its pitman arm then packed it up and left for my 9 hr trip to verbal utah. Might go check out that museum in toole. So ya I got 7 hrs total sleep from friday night tell monday morning. Finally moving forward instead of constantly fixing po neglect.

Drove to British Columbia, attended the Coastal Cruisers big Cruiser Days event, and got my new Cruisin Offroad bumper + OME 3" Comp coils installed:

Thats a nice bumper BR13. He(COR) did a double tire model that I like also..

Yeah, Jason is a one-man-show and he does great work. This is his full time gig now. He gets my highest recommendation. Anyone looking for armor should check him out. And taking the trip up there is pretty cool too if it's not too far for you. Otherwise, he crosses the border to ship to the U.S. from the U.S. He could pretty much do anything you wanted. He was building a full exoskeleton on a Nissan Titan truck when I was there.

Damn that looks good! Do you have OME J's all round or J front 863 rears? Had a chance to check for rubbing yet? Looks like they would be great for snow wheeling up here in the winter.

 

[93yotasr5]

Yes I rub pretty bad. I need to massage the pinch weld and cut my fends to get Maximim flex. Thanks. Pretty sure there Js all around, but after sitting next to a few others with j springs , mine sits a bit lower, so maybe there 863 rears. I bought rm used for dirt cheap so I couldn't turn it down

The rig looks awesome with the 345's. I highly recommend the 1" body lift by 4crawler in addition to trimming the fenders. On mine, I just notched the edge and rolled them over before I re-sprayed the al's liner. (see pics). And, I just notched and opened the fenders even more as I am going to spray the Al's for the 3rd time after my recent flop.

Paid off the loan balance. Bluto is all mine now.

Changed vacuum lines with the exception of what's underneath of the intake plenum.

I installed some Depo headlights. They remind me of the lights on my old 100 series.

interesting use of the old-style logo

That's an awfully good feeling.

Installed diff breathers front and rear, xfer case and trans on sunday. Used Aquarium stone filters for the breathers. Also put in LED cargo hatch lights. Killer bright and worth every penny and time to do it. Hooked it to the rear dome light so it comes on when the hatch is opened.

Hatch light during the day and placement
