What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (57 Viewers)

[bmac1996acc]

Swapped out my 4 inch heavy rears for actual 6" lift springs. All of the added weight to the rear recently had the Cruiser looking a little too prerunner for me. Now she's got the stinkbug look again. Guess I need to add some more weight to the rear (drawers and Jerry cans still on the list). Maybe it will settle out some. Adjusted the panhard. Adjusted the control arms to get my pinion angle good again. Greased up the Johnny joints, suspension bushings, and rear drive shaft. Retorqued all front and rear suspension bolts.

Did a little touring today with a buddy and his BJ70 on the back roads near my place.

 

[SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr]

Redid all of my accessory wiring with labels.

Finished receiver support (going to add lateral supports in the future, but I'm just hauling bikes right now)

Fixed my broken steering column cover

Finished amp install

Bolted down my new cupholders and arm rest.

 

[half k cruiser]

Bought a set of used LX wheels, painted them, then had some Kuhmo's mounted up.

 

[FZJ80 in KC]

Headed down to Lake of the Ozarks for a week.

New belts, new fan clutch, new dizzy o-ring.

Tried to chase down an intermittent vibration. Jacked it up. Checked the U joints. They seem solid. Checked body mounts, engine mounts, exhaust. Nothing. Can't find it. Going to have to pull the front wheels and check the wheel bearings. Any other suggestions?

I know my shocks are worn and need replaced but need a few months of income before I start spending money that isn't a necessity, if possible.

U-joints can be tough to diagnose sometimes without pulling the drive shaft. I've had it where the cross is bound up tight enough that I couldn't move the shaft by hand, but once unbolted they just flop around. If your transfer case shifter is buzzing to the touch when the vibration shows up, it is probably your u-joint.

Went up to Brown's lake by mount Antero

Thanks. I will check the transfer case shifter tomorrow when/if it happens. I notice it big time in the steering wheel. Specifically the bottom of the wheel. It's weird.

Lots LC's in Manhattan Beach, I love the surfboard look on a cruiser.

Also upgraded my high beam bulbs with cree LEDs

@danakittilsen which Cree highbeam bulbs did you go with and how are they compared to stock? (you have the normal N. American lenses / 9005 bulbs right?)

i got these in the 9005. I have an HDJ81, I believe the lenses are the original JDM lenses.
I upgraded my low beams first and they made my old ones look like a joke. The LED high beams are definitely better than the stock high beams, however the gain doesn't seem to be as large as gain on the low beam side. Still a necessary upgrade.

Installed a new GME UHF aerial on Saturday, as I have been without one for a few months. Then went for a Sunday arvo bash through the bush with a couple of mates it had been too long!

Stock 2 month old JK Jeep, they are weapons for a stock thing..not a rubicon either so no lockers.
