Builds Wyoming 80 Build (2 Viewers)

[yotakrawler]

Just had a fun time in what appeared to be dried lake mud that immediately turned to sludge and rock... thought I was going to be a permanent lake resident.

Nice sound like you are not afraid to get it a little dirty!

Anyone know where this ground bolts to? It has been too long since I had this thing apart and the EWD is not a lot of help. It is on the same harness as the starter power wire. Looks like it should bolt some where near the drivers side engine mount.

If i am not wrong, one side is connected to the battery (-) and the other side connected to the engine wall, just above and left of the engine support, check the picture.

Yep. Just had to locate the bolt for this on my rebuild.

Funny that you say that

This is great, we're you able to connect the ground wire? I'm at the same point and struggling with where all the ground wires connect.

Haha, looks eerily similar. A funny thing is, my tracks have made it into google's maps! My buddies and I are both surprised and happy to see our hard work memorialized by satellite imagery.

Now that is awesome...

Been driving the cruiser around for a while, almost have 3000 miles on the engine and cross my fingers no problems.

Been working away...

Dual battery and scion radio

USB for head unit in center console

1st gen 4runner washer bottle

Starting on roof rack

Light bar

Bracket to hold the light bar

pilot holes for dimple die

a lot of freaking holes

Still need to add some tube around the light bar but it works for now

 

[yotakrawler]

How it sits right now, sorry for the trees but it is cold out side

 

[Delancy]

Nice.

Does the HU USB port have charging capabilities?

If you're plans to add tube around the Rigid are for protection, wouldn't worry about too much. They're tough and it may be a weight savings item.

Have seen long travel sand rails ( only in videos ) roll three or four times, landing directly on, and when they roll them upright, the lights still on.

On my FJC, the lens took a direct impact from a tree, enough to move the rack on the feet, and didn't even scratch.

Edited: for reference.





Shortly after reworking the Gobi.

 

[yotakrawler]

Good to know, maybe I wont worry about adding any tube. The USB will charge my I-Pod not sure about my droid. Next time I drive it I will post back and let you know.

Mostly I have been out enjoying the land cruiser and not working on it too much, but here is some of what I have done...

A lot of camping





OME 2.5 inch lift with some FOX shocks



100 series visors



Campteq



Currently working on a front bumper

Glad to see this thread still going. Amazing work.

Thanks. I hope to be better about updates.

I always wondered why there wasn't a Demello style bumper for the 80, nice work as that looks pretty close.

I have never heard of Demello. I will have to check them out.
