Herculined, rear heater bypass, and installed a new intake pipe (courtesy of scottryana) on my 93.

Installed new speakers and head unit, planned in using the factory grills, but found an easy way to use the aftermarket ones without any permanent modifications, had to tin snip the rear doors to make room for the basket of the 6.5", mounting screws are behind where the factory grill would be, so easy to return to stock if wanted. Makes a HUGE difference in sound quality!

Rotated the tires and finally replaced all my broken exhaust mounts that I have had for 6 months and just now put them on. Sounds like my heat shield rattle went away now, when pulling away from a stop!
 
Had Les Schwab rotate the tires, patch one and rebalance two. Had a weird shimmy at 65-75 MPH, rebalancing didn't solve it, but slightly better, need to look into it more.
 
I let the wife drive the 80 into some large mud puddles, she hit the 3rd one a little to fast and got water onto the dissy, finely got it started, made her hold the revs up at 3 grand with her foot on the brake as i dropped it into drive, i can still see her face, saying i cant do this as we came out of the mud with all four wheels spinning.

Surprised you didn't leave your drivetrain behind....
 
Used my 80 to pull the engine out of my 60 :D

Took an obligatory flex shot from yesterday's ride and turned it into a sketch with Photo Editor.

My 8 year old changed the oil. Enjoyed it, asked what's next. He also came up with "her" name. "Mudlite".

Here is a few more pic s of the new audio equip, forgot to mention the model #'s, stuck with all pioneer since they have been good to me in the past. It was a painless install and well worth the money, very low buck as well, got the speakers for $27/pair off amazon & the head unit from crutchfield for $129, this is the best bang for the buck upgrade I have done.

Installed the underhood LED strip light(which is awesome, thank you forum!) and the LED roof bar. I used one from superbright LED, it looks good and is hella bright! Installed Slee actuator guard on the rear locker and cut down and reinstalled the factory cover for some extra wire protection. Installed my new Pfrans, what a difference!

Now lit like a boss!:grinpimp:

Which model LED light strip did you use?
 
On the 1 year anniversary of ownership I completed the Rodney flush & fine tuned adjustment of the kick down cable. The old fluid looked clean & the tranny didn't have issues but I was never able to confirm from PO's if the fluid was ever changed. At 178K I did it for peace of mind.
Filter screen was clean & minimal debris in the pan. Long live the 3fe & A440F!
