Nice. I have to go to San Bernadino for work after Christmas and am debating whether I should figure out how to drive instead of fly so I can head into Death Valley afterwards. Last time I was there I had my Jetta so no backcountry travel.
What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (75 Viewers)

Took it on my first drive up in the mountains, also started peeling off the old wood trim, and reinstalled the third row seats so all four of my boys would fit in it. I also started shopping for some sliders, I am hoping to get ones with a little bit of a kick out so the shorter boys can get up into the cruiser.
Started the weekend early for Thanksgiving. Installed the AJIK spare tire leveling kit. Puts the 285 up where it should be. Then I finally got to put the lockers to use checking some tree stands during the first PA snow. Without the lockers, we would still be up there! Funny how everyone wanted to ride with me.

Replaced a hose clamp on the heater supply hose that was the cause of my coolant leak.
Fixed my horn with input from fellow MUDders. Used a .22 shell casing. Awesome. I have a horn! It's been like 6 years!
Just pulled the rubber window run from Driver door. Getting ready to put the new rubber in.

Decided to peel the tint while I was in replacing the driver side window run rubber.
The window run rubber was a piece of cake. Don't know why I was intimidated by this. Literally took 15 minutes. Window actually moves up and down on its own now!! WOOHOO!

Did you source the window run from one of our Mud vendors and how much was it? I need to do this.

I purchased from my local Toyota dealer. They give me "jobber pricing" as a TLCA member (most dealers will give this to you if you ask them, I've asked at three dealerships where I've lived around the country and they all have done it). It cost me $70. They can get them next day. I've bought stuff from them for years. They are great to work with and the owner has a few Cruisers so we always talk Cruisers when I go in. I know Cdan has them in stock in addition to the below link.

Yeah wasn't left much of a choice.
Sorry to hear this, NLXTACY. Have been through it before I can tell you it does get better. So hang tight my friend.
Fixed a few issues. First, replaced electrical ignition switch. Zip tied harness to the starter due to loose connection and intermittent start. Also added on/off switches to my Voltage displays so they no longer slowly drain the batteries:

That's not rust, it's Canadian patina...
Got my new Treadwright Wardens mounted... 285/75/16 so far... Great!
Also got my truck re-sprayed at Rust Check.... Complained about the last service I got so this one was free. (They missed half of the bottom last time). Asked them to let me see the bottom when they were done while it was still on the hoist. - I think the guy got the idea.... Looked like he used about half a drum of the stuff on my truck! Doing my best to avoid the Canadian Patina on this Cruiser!

You suck at legos
Bezel police.... Ok, it's not upside down, but really, you couldn't finish it in white?
Just kidding - them's pretty cool.... Might have to raid the lego this weekend...
