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.

WTF today i asked for that same sound system and they said the least they could do was $250, :mad::censor: i was thinking of buying it for christmass, but now i'm sure as hell not buying it
 
Used my 80 to pull the engine out of my 60 :D My 8-year-old at the winch control: .........................................................................................................................
This is the way things should be done.
Sincerely.
 
Finally found another HDJ81 to import, couldn't be more excited! '93, 88,XXX kms, 3X lockers, winch, looks to be lifted on 285's, a few things I'll need to change (purple tint, decals, chrome piping on window visors, etc), but it should do nicely. I won't be able to take delivery until next August so it will remain in Japan until closer to then, but at least I know it's in the pipeline and can start planning for then!

Sweet rig man. Looks like a great platform!
 
Ooooooooo!!!!

Keeping on subject, upgraded my dads brakes...

Also while I was in there I retrofitted the spindle bushing from the brass to the needle bearings version which resulted in less play on the end of the Birf insid the spindle. Hopefully it will help stop the leaking inner axle seal which was new...

were you having any noise out of the front end? If so, did changing to the spindle bushing to the needle version make the noise go away?
 
Replaced old plugs, wires, cap, rotor and dizzy o-ring. Got the dizzy all out of wack with the crank and had to assemble/disassemble about 3 times before I realized that I was 180deg off at the crank. Oh we'll, I was able to clean a lot on the right side of the motor while I was there. She's running smooth as a sewing machine now.

Can you come to east Texas and do that to mine now?!? It's probably only a 10 hour round trip....

I saw your thread on the dizzy. Did you happen to replace the rocker side panel gasket as well? I have been reading about my 3fe oil leaks and mine is not bad. I think if I ever do the distributor o-ring, I will do the side panel as well. One day I am planning on valve cover, side panel, dizzy o-ring, and speedometer cable o-ring.
