Some super glue will fix that right up.

I was joking. Super glue would be a terrible idea.
haha..i was thinking whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa????
really confused how it even happened :/ no rusting on any other mounts..just the drivers.
Added a hazard switch to control my CDL. I have 93 so I cut the harness and extended it from the top bank of switches to the bottom. Works perfect, I may pop it out to relabel at some point.
Something I learned, my 93 does not require the removal of the left plastic key in the switch body. I guess it only applies to the 95-97 LCs. Wish I would have known that before I spent 15 minutes hacking it out.

New tires and wheels
My 80 got some new tires and wheels this weekend.
16” TRD wheels of a new FJ converted to real bead locks with some 315/75R16 Nitto Trail Grapplers

A really fat sweaty guy used to sit there.
BLAMMO 
Finally installed castors after OME 2.5" lift several months ago. Fairly simple. Cut out the old ones and used a really good vise I inherited to slide in new.
Got rid of almost all shake. Still a little bit at 75mph. Will get alignment and tires balanced when switching over to winter. Current tires are shot anyway.

I actually did the wire extension last weekend and just got my switch in yesterday. I will take some pictures the next time I have the dash off. I didn't hook up the remote lead on my head unit so I will need to do that to complete my stereo install.
As for the 'key' have a look at this post: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=7867492&postcount=5
This was not necessary for my earlier FZJ80.
Extending the harness was not hard but it is pretty short to begin with. I wound up stripping all the loom off and cutting it in the middle. I extended it about 12in.
Nice! I love those tires, need to update my sig to include them. What wheels are those?

Gotta start a build thread on that winch.
Needed to burn off a little steam after work...
Then started yanking crap from out of the engine bay. Removed the smog pump in part of my "longest de-smog" ever... Piece by piece. Also did the plugs, cap, rotor, and wires. PO had Bosch dual platinums in there. So glad to get those out...
Stupid step/nerf bars removed. They were held on by 3 bolts each... so ridiculously useless. It's "bulk-item" week for our trash, and a guy in a truck had already picked them up within 10 minutes being on the curb.
Then I started my latest brew. Double IPA...

Installed a new starter, EMS Powered intake tube, and built a bracket to adjust my rear brake load sensing valve. (embarrassed it took me so long to do that last one.)
Then towed the camper down to Cimarron, NM for the PSA reunion at Philmont Scout Ranch.

Rush Off-Road
Got to do a little wheeling this weekend at new place close to Asland Ky... Rush Off Road... I had a great time and the terrain is awesome with a combination of stuff like you can find in Natural Bridge/Slade Ky and Livingston Ky(now closed)... It is a great place to wheel and is run by a great group of people...
I was taking pics most of time and so to many pics of my 80, but some pics of the folks i wheel with on a regular basis...
1st, me posing on a rock pile
2nd, everyone playing on some rock ledges
3rd, playing in the rock garden

Went wheeling Friday night, cruiser did great and had to pull a bunch of people out.
Woke up in the morning to head out on another run just to see a puddle of power steering fluid under the truck. Blew a high pressure line, had to drive it home 40 miles with the ps disconnected, fun on 345's lol...
Time to have some new lines made and do a cooler while I'm at it...
