What did you get your 80 for Christmas?

[FMC80]

I got my 80 another 80 (or at least half of one) for Christmas.

Props to Trey for such an awesome build. Hoping my shenanigans can do it justice.

You have issues

Congrats on the sweet toy!

Matt! That was a smoking deal!! Glad you picked it up. I know you will abuse it like it should be.

Tis the season for the hard deck.

My 80 got a RedHead steering box with 105 sector shaft, thanks to @orangefj45 & Valley Hybrids.

That's one less thing making noise on my truck.....

Maybe this means I'll drive the other 80 a little less like an ultra 4 truck.

Essentially a new Toyota long block

Mine! got this last year

Icon 2.5s and Slinky coils for mine.

What Slinky’s did you order? I have the Icon stage 3’s on mine with a 2.5, but it sags a little.

Did you get all new head and innards above the short block as well? I forget.

 

[SoCal80series]

I got my 80 a pair of front row seat covers from Escape Gear and a rear bumper with tire swing out from Dissent Off-road.

Yes, I did an entire new long block, plus new radiator, alternator, fan, fan clutch, water pump, harmonic balancer, and a few other things that I’ve now forgotten.

I even got a new oil cooler assembly at $600! New distributor, everything except the valve cover including OEM fuel injectors and forgot to keep the old ones. It was a crazy, profligate phase for me and sounds like for you. Now I remember you had a ton of extra time spent with the shop.

Enjoy the drive!

I didn’t get those things. After $12k my wallet was exhausted! It took my mechanic about a year to get it done. I had to hound him to the bitter end to get it done. That’s all in the rear view mirror now. I am enjoying it now. It’s nice knowing I have essentially a brand new, rock solid engine.

I am taking it to Death Valley for a trip the day after Christmas. Good luck with your build! Are you doing a build thread on it?

Nice!

I have a thread somewhere here, but my truck isn’t dramatic enough to be anything worthy of a build show.

I got mine an 18" diode dynamics led light bar and leds for the cluster and a whole lot of gas.. almost pulled the trigger on a comeup 9500 but bought a bunch of plane tickets instead.. I'll probably get the winch anyway though lol.

Some last minute adds: A battery 18" chainsaw, a 2nd pair of tire chains, and a 2nd pair of orange traction boards so I won't be as worried going deeper while solo.

Rear RCV's once the bonus comes.

Let me know how filling out the hubs goes - interested to know how big of a pain that is.

What chainsaw did you get? I need to pull the trigger and pick up a cordless chainsaw.
