tugboat95 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 80s equals chrome. I'm still a fan of shiny chrome. Door handles, window vents, and side mirrors along with bumpers. Maybe even the trim around the windshield and door vent window, a Chrome grill. Now I don't know if all this came in any package together but I do remember seeing all these pieces on the Comanches. Oh and your light bar needs to be chrome or stainless steel. Lites are to be big round KC lights with the yellow covers. They now make LEDS in that style.89 ComancheEliminator2wd4.0L5 speed PukeGoatFactory Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Chrome, mud flaps, roll bar, lots of chrome lights, brush guard, bed rails, graphics (still working on the right wheels). I think your front bumper will always make it appear "modern." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZJeff Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 When it comes to auxiliary lights, you will find different answers depending on the region of the country. Back east, you really don't need much (relative speaking) in the way of added lighting, and using it on real roads will get you attention from law enforcement. Out in the west (such as AZ, where I live), extra lighting outside of town is VERY appreciated, especially on secondary roads. It's damned near mandatory on Forest Service roads. And if you are using those added lights, just be courteous to other drivers and tone it down when there is oncoming traffic. If you do that, the cops probably won't even say anything about your lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably replace the front bumper with an OEM one if I find an OEM brushguard. 1 hour ago, AZJeff said: When it comes to auxiliary lights, you will find different answers depending on the region of the country.

schardein Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 80s was also dual/triple/quad/as many as you could fit shocks with bright neon shock boots. Triple/double roll bar. Need to spend as much on the stereo as the truck cost. Dark tint on the windows. Louvers over the back window. Bandana tied in a loop and hanging from the rear view mirror- or a blue bandana tied around the driver sun visor and pink on the pass side. Chrome or polished aluminum "mod" wheels. And the aforementioned KC Daylighters. I may or may not be speaking from experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 We’re all forgetting the most important thing here. The fact that if you’re gonna go 80’s, you’ll need to ditch all but two formats, vinyl and cassette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
