maybe power steering reservoir hoses leaking. They’re probably getting old and brittle.
Burned fuel to take the oldest snowboarding for the first time. Haven’t done it in about 14 years myself.

Very cool....When, where? Everytime I think about trying snowboarding I hear stories of people seriously hurting themselves so I just stick to skiing. Way to be "fun" dad!
Cataloochee in Maggie Valley. Me needing to burn a day off lined up with their first day of 100% open trails. Was better than expected considering how little snow the surrounding area gets and reminded me of Big Bear, CA.
If you already know how to ski, stick with it and enjoy the snow. I prefer boarding between the two but was a lousy skier. Injury wise, I think you are more prone to upper body injury where skiing is more risk to knees.
I finally got the front diff out of my 80. Hopefully by next weekend the diff and knuckle rebuild will be finished and I’ll have it back on the road. By the way, the carnage is even worse than it looks.

Fixed my tcase leak.
What caused it?
diff gasket has been leaking for a year or 2. It ran low too many times. I already have everything on hand for a full rebuild and hope for a relatively quick turn around. I can’t wait to get back in my cruiser.

Wow, you've outdone me! 
Drilled some holes. Filled some holes.
Then put it all together.
Good day out in the Linville area cruising the back roads with the 828 Overland group. Toyota well represented with a 70, mine being the only 80, a cluster of 100's, 200's, 4Rs, and Tacos along with Toby's GX. A sweet Tundra camper rig with a Troll Hole Cruisers adorning the back glass was also along with an LR3 being the only non-yota vehicle. @Payara Offroad Your PM inbox is full and I can't send you the photos.
@Bryanseye working on cleaning my inbox. here is my email payaraoffroad@gmail.com
If anyone has a fire on the trail, I will leave the spent stick with you after putting it out so you can claim it on your insurance after paying me back too.

After completing my front brake job, I did this. . .

Vacuum line deflator
I've been prepping the rig for some upcoming travel trips and this project came back to mind as I was working last weekend. I saw it done a few months ago for breaking the bead on a tire. It has many other applications and for me one is deflating air mattresses in the RTT for easier closure...

Not anticipating any deep water at Morris Mountain next weekend, but if there is, both axles and I will breath easier. As I did with the LX, the new 80 diff breathers were extended. Front to behind the brake booster, rear just behind fuel cap along the filler neck.
Got beefier...and fixed a bent spindle (with new and new gussets). TX ready (except for an exhaust leak).
