You get more points if you let the Rubicon remove them for you

You're talking about the trail, right? Last summer I was chatting about 4WDs with my neighbor, and he said he was thinking about the Rubicon. I replied that I'd love to run it one of these days. About a month ago I saw a new red Jeep in his driveway.

Went wheeling near Taylor Reservoir, went up to Texas Lake. Good time, but lots of mud.

Looks awesome, man! I need to come wheeling down your way. Have you ever done Mt. Antero?

I haven't done that in my 80 yet, but did it in my old jeep and a 4 wheeler. There are some fun trails up in that area. Grizzly Lake is a fun trail too.

Let me know if you are out this way. Have a couple friends with 80's here in BV too.

Yeah, man! I just need to do my front axle service, and then it's on! -- Mike

Went to check my diffs and birfs, and the birf grease is mainly in the front diff. I'm going to drain the diff, run extended breathers with filters and see if that fixes the problem.

I was going to extend the breathers anyway, so this should kill two birds with one stone.

Installed new driver side regulator today. Really struggled till I found this thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ds-window-regulator-motor-replacement.835728/ Easy peasy after that.

What did I do... I finally signed up to mud! My old girl turned 320,000 kms and just started the fix on this, that happened while driving to work

I guess this is why they say if you want something done right, do it yourself

Extended weekend.
I used some washers to get the DS headlight to point down a little more. I think I maxed out the low beam vertical adjustment and it still points up, more than I would like. The washers were used on the top two bolts in order to have the entire headlamp tilted a few degrees forward/down.

Temporary fix till I get my hands on some Depo's.

That's precisely how mine would've looked if it wasn't a ragged out POS when I first bought it. Nice looking rig.

Thank you, 120mm. I think it needs some armoring to look more serious. But, I like all 80s for their beefy look, as is.

I like running my stock 80 and seeing just how much she can handle. While other "built" trucks get stuck.

Hey! Not all of us can fit in the mall parking garage anymore so quit bragging.

I see your point. If I were to wish for one mod that I would love to have (reasonably priced), it would be portal axles. Oh....and sliders. I could forego other armoring to keep it light.
