Wheeling With 40 = 80 Damage :cool:

[landtoy80]

Went up 21 rd in Grand Junction CO with the group form the FJC event on Sun.
My stock 80 keep up with the lifted 40' untill the rocks got TOOOO BIG.
This was the first time I ever hit the big rock trail and had no idea that a 80 could go as far up a rock covered creek bed as it did.

First look damage report:
1)a/c dryer line broke when I hit the dryer with a rock, I assume it was the dryer, its the can that sticks out under the bumper???
2)banged up the oem muffler
3)big dents in the cat guard/cover
4) front plastic mudflap (without the flap) that goes between the front wheel well and slider (running board)

Can the dryer be reused?

PICS! do you have the factory lockers? that speaks very well of a stock 80

You can't reuse the dryer, as soon as it comes into contact with the atmosphere it starts soaking up moisture out of the air.

The dryer is pretty cheap.

Some aftermarket dryers are 1.5" shorter, don't hang down as far.

Have one on mine, and it is a good 2" shorter than OEM. Don't hate me Dan, it came on the truck when purchased.

You took a stocker up 21 Road

MAF sells replacement dryers.

O.k. then Dan, what is your recommendation for a Toyota part # that is shorter?

 

[Tools R Us]

The one we used was from a local import parts chain, BAP Import Pars, branded "Cool Air" part # ED-875 RD1225C ~$10.00. Elijah's right, it's more like 2"+ shorter than the stock one. We reformed the lines, cut the bottom off of the bracket, moving it up as far as possible, it tucks up nicely.

Elijah, good to meet you in Moab, too bad we didn't get the chance to hit the trails together, maybe CM07?

I have lockers.
I could of not done it with out sliders from Slee.
I didn't have a camera but I should have a CD with pic of the run from someone that took many pic's.
I just have to get over to Safari LTD and get the CD when they get the copies.

What do I about a new line? OEM or aftermarket?
