Picked up my 80 6 or so weeks ago. 95 with 112,000 miles.
PHH done, new plugs and cleaned out the intake, 3" OME lift, Polk DB6501's in the front doors, DB651's going in the rear when they arrive, all running off of an old Alpine 200w RMS 4 channel, threw on the rear hatch mounts for my 10w LED flood light from the group buy and a CB antenna.
Last weekend a few buddies and I did a full knuckle rebuild and threw on the Toyo MT 315/75's. Balanced with 8oz's of .40g airsoft ammo. Worked really well.
Love this truck!!!

Is it supposed to sound like that?
Took the wife, kid, grandma and the dog up to Snoqualmie pass for a day of snowshoeing. Great weather, had a blast.
The FS roads were about 18" deep with packed icy ruts- fun stuff. Got near the top and a snarl of stuck vehicles without chains or recovery gear blocked the trail. I yanked out a couple of Subarus but then had to back down the ruts for a half mile.
I managed to stuff it into the ditch once while backing down (so icy you couldn't stand up- ask how I know lol), but the lockers got some exercise and I was free in less than 30 seconds.
Found a great spot for the kiddo to do some sledding and then trained our ten year old lab to pull the sled back up the hill for us. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks lol...

Took the Denny Creek 'trail' all the way to Snoqualmie Pass. Stopped and grilled under the I90; This is becoming an annual tradition. Had to pull a few rigs out of the way!
sledding near Woodland Park: first trip in the 91
Took the new to me 80 for a 75-mile round trip to the mountains to do some sledding with wife/daughter. This was the first trip out of town in the LC, and no problems experienced on the trip. We did do about 15 miles on snow covered dirt/logging roads in the area and I was impressed with the 80...not much slipping and sliding. Did not get into any challenging terrain since we were without another vehicle or recovery gear.
All in all, we had a great time and are looking forward to more fun soon!

Went out fishing and camping for a few days.
That's some hardcore Sierra fishing! Any luck?
drove up to mt. rainer to do some snowshoeing. nice to not have to chain up.
The first day I caught about 12 browns in 3 hours. The second day, I was helping my friends brother learn to fly fish. I did make two casts and caught two fish, so I was pretty dialed in. The third day, I was hung over and a little out of it all day.
Sounds like an epic New Years trip! Some day I will have to loin you if you're giving flyfishing lessons so I can out those flies you sent me to use.

Are those 13.5 tires? They look really wide.
Also do you ever get nervous about snagging that tow strap on the ground and ripping it out the hatch?
Sent from my iPhone using IH8MUD
No, they're just 35x12.50s on a 17x9 wheel. I've never really wheeled with the tow strap hanging out like that, this was the first time. But that's a good point. Next time I'll tuck it in more

I drove it about 1300 miles, camped in Joshua Tree for new years. You know, the usual.

I though I recognized that vehicle Jcardona1. You passed me on I-50, getting on 99. Where did you go mudding?
Small world, you were in the white LX right!? That day I met my buddies in Modesto and went to the La Grange OHV (where most of these pics were taken). The following day we were out in Long Barn (the red mud)
