Old and busted, new hotness. Traded my 18 year old swaybar links for new extended links from Trail Tailor. Got the rears, too, but forgot to take a picture.
Installed my new WKO sliders. They never let me down on my last rig, and are every bit as sturdy.
Finally, added to my sticker collection for +5 offroad capability.

Nightmare
Got the new wheels and tires on
Went to the park, tested the lockers, and bought a new battery.
Did you get the sliders with 10 or 20 degree?Old and busted, new hotness. Traded my 18 year old swaybar links for new extended links from Trail Tailor. Got the rears, too, but forgot to take a picture.

Did you have a new spare laying around? Nice!
Completed AHC renew on the 06 LX. Got everything dialed in, drives like a dream. The bouncy ejection seat ride was getting old. Now I feel like I’m driving on 43’s through 8” of soft powder over Abano Pass. Dreamlike.
Spent the last couple of days cleaning out the coffee that was spilled on the passenger side carpet. After cleaning, I quickly made my way to the dealer and bought a cup holder insert so hopefully it never happens again.
I did the standard 20 degree. The kick out sticks out just a tad from the rear tire, so I should still be able to pivot with it as needed. And it still works well as a step.
I spy an x2-power (northstar). Is that on a Slee tray? Do you remember what size battery you used?
@wngrog Yes it was a nightmare because I just sold my wifes perfectly maintained Volvo. I had replaced every frieking component in that vehicle to the point I hated looking at it. Every repair was at least $1000 on that Volvo. After years of commenting in a strong manner (read that as complaining and bad mouthing the piece of garbage Volvo) about how reliable and bullet proof Land Cruisers are, she agreed to a 100 series. Base lining a rig is a rite of passage but the brakes were not an expected repair to happen so soon. @beno doesn't have dogs like our beloved guru at the Heritage Museum but he has bills to pay none the less.
@musthave No I can not have a parts stash that deep. Each repair will be funded by donating plasma or mowing yards for little old ladies in the neighborhood.
So now I have a known good used master cylinder, accumulator, and a bad electric pump for the hydraulics. I am probably going to rebuild the master and let it sit on the shelf (or sell it).

Yeah. Such a horrible thing to have to spend money on. It’s rare but when it happens it’s a killer literally and figuratively.
Lets just hope this braking system is good for another 200K miles.
My thoughts exactly - good luck.
