    80 series interior water leak!!!

    haven't had mine leak, but cleaned the drains a couple years ago. easy to find if they're plugged. open sunroof, pour a little bit of water in the channel by the drains and see if it clears. they will leak out under the rockers.

    Regrefully I am selling my Maggiolina Adventure Large RTT

    betting the p.o. didn't get the ladder in the correct spot in the middle and cranked the tent down...i almost did that with mine but saw the fiberglass bulging and knew something was up. still wish you were closer...i'd snag it. starting to think two maggis would be good since we have five...

    AGM Battery maintenance/charging for dummies?

    i've never had to do the jumper with a lead battery thing for my reds...i've got a battery tender jr, which is rated for agm batteries and i just trickle charge them. i also "condition" batteries now that i heard they should be. we'll see if that makes a difference with the blues in my 80...

    waeco coolmatic cf35 too cold

    here's the setup. this is an older waeco, if it helps. also, within the last few days, the display panel does not light up. it will freeze a water bottle in less than 24 hours on 1

    waeco coolmatic cf35 too cold

    getting worse, plan on pulling it out tomorrow, hopefully get time to look at it between sealing the rear diff on one fj55 and stabbing trans/xfer in another, plus groceries, laundry, housecleaning, etc. will be weird learning, essentially, the hvac systems too.

    80 series pop top tent

    seems like it could be a squeaker, with two items not meant to mate together. also, being able to access through the sunroof, how does that work with it being the bed floor? i know it wouldn't work for me, i'm short, so getting in from the sunroof would be far more difficult than a ladder...

    Regrefully I am selling my Maggiolina Adventure Large RTT

    good luck, if you were closer, i would seriously consider it (although it would mean selling my medium ;) ) i (and my 6' tall man love the medium, but i know he would appreciate the large even more). anyone who buys this will be buying a lifetime purchase, along the lines of a top quality winch.

    Collapsed coolant hoses

    not a monty, but this was a radiator cap. was stuck down and not allowing passage through the overflow tube to the surge tank. easy test with an oven and a pot of water.

    Opinion on Aluminum Bumpers...?

    i had aluminum bumpers on my old datsun 720 4x4 and was very surprised how well they held up in an accident. would do it again in a heartbeat if i could afford it

    waeco coolmatic cf35 too cold

    even set on the first setting, anything on the bottom freezes. put a beer bottle in there along with the gallon of water (that's always in there to keep motor from struggling to cool the empty space) and a couple candy bars last night. by 4pm today, it was starting to slush. it was 105...

    80 series front brake refresh

    never had any issues on any of my cruisers, including my 80. fairly easy except for the bleed, which is just a pita. calipers are very easy to rebuild. getting ready to replace my rotors when i regear the front end. take your time and work clean. get all the rust of any bolts, hubs etc...

    Do You Want To Take Better Photographs While On The Trail?

    good reminders since photography classes were 20 years ago and it's been point and clicks since then. i bought a nice camera last year, i need to play with it someday....too bad someday never seems to come. :(

    Seat covers

    a lot of cruiser guys love the iggee seat covers. i don't have a set yet since i fell into some sor seat covers. i had wet okoles and wouldn't do them again. not overly durable and show grease and oils from your hands, fade in the sunlight, even with their protection sprays and, in my case...
