Just came off the Fins & Things trail, beautiful weather, low 80s temps. No dust on the trail. A couple of the steep spots scared the heck out of Nancy, but other then that, no problems for anyone.

Re: Zuks of KC - Moab, 2013
Hwy 191 is closed due to flooding between Monticello and Moab. Spending the night in Monticello. Got one of the last rooms in town. Hopefully the road will be open in the morning!

Re: Zuks of KC - Moab, 2013
Hey Tom, how about we plan on doing "fins and things" on Monday. That's a nice, easy trail to get us started and don't take all day. Then we kin get together Mon nite and plan further. Huh? Hadn't really thought about Fins and Things, since we did that trail during the LJ meet. You have t...

Re: Replacement body-frame mount cushions
Has anyone gone through this before and found a good match, or a good DIY hack? Our local Tractor Supply Co. store carries rubber matting in various thicknesses, and I was able to cut my own from them. They don't have the cloth reinforcement, but they are designed to put on the floors of stock trai...

Re: Parts cleaning
I used to clean bearings and shoot them with compressed air and never thought it was dangerous. My friend was cleaning a SJ413 front wheel bearing for me and used the air and the bearing failed when it was spinning. Blew apart in his hands and he was lucky he didn't get hurt. When I was a kid worki...

Re: LED replacement taillights
Well, I think you can get the three-screw lenses from Steve C, but you can't get the actual light holder/housings anymore. That was the major reason with going with the solution I did. I did a different fix for the front turn signal/park lamps. I used the available stock lenses, but replaced the bul...

The emissions sticker is for "U.S. EPA" regulations, that would explain the vapor canister. I didn't know '81 Lj80s were US emissions legal?UBZ wrote:I've also never seen a fuel vapor canister In an LJ before.

That's a carb off an Brazilian made VW bug. My LJ10/20 (LJ20 engine) had a similar Solex carb on it when I bought it. Almost a bolt on. I swapped it out for an original Hitachi carb.
