Changed out the old steel cable for some synthetic line.

I have to say I LOVE the non blinginess of this speaker. I know nothing about this brand but wow!!!!
It's not that bad here
Don't check the prices. I did and almost hurt myself.

My driver window motor literally went up in smoke but thankfully the local U pull n Pay had other vehicles with the same motor. Dealer wanted $325 for JUST the motor alone which I promptly passed on! We get a good discount at this place so it's not his fault the price is crazy high.
Anyway, here's the writeup that might help others.

Window motor cross-compatibility
My drivers side window motor is bad. I've read through the threads, it's the actual motor and lubing the tracks won't help and nothing is popped out. Motor knocks and gear slips. Through Oreilly I found a Dorman motor PLUS regulator for cheaper than the Dorman motor alone ?? So now I'm...

Playing around with some spare 8020
Repaired leaking front heater core.
Good job, this looks like one of the worst jobs on an 80 series..... I think I am going to have nightmares tonight.
Makes you want to settle with an extra jacket and pair of gloves a---toughen it out until spring.
3" lift and already have the DVS 4" arms. Gonna be too much castor with these brackets.
You can just drill a second hole forwards in the same bracket. I think there was a thread where someone added a piece of steel in each side and welded it in to add strength (for the hole just behind it) so they could move the axle forwards slightly.

Wow - Did the old mount really collapse as much as it looks compared to the new one..
Hahaha, yeah, I put it off for as long as I could after seeing the same kind of pics. Honestly, it was about like any other job, where the dread in anticipation is worse than the actual job itself. But it was definitely uncomfortable working in close quarters.
One thing is for sure: the Toyota engineers who made sure that every single electrical clip can ONLY fit into the plug it was designed for are the real MVPs.
Yup...it required some force to compress the skid plate. Confession time. The engine mounts didn't get changed, they kicked my ass and I got mad and went inside...hahah

EMU 2" springs installed, total lift is closer to 5" as the old ass stock springs were original vintage '94 with 427000 miles on them. What a difference in driving, doesn't feel like I am driving a barge..
Now have to find time to weld the Back Bumper kit together, weld brackets for the MC Sliders and install the winch. And recover the last middle row seat and install the Garm gears for the seat sliders and, and, and...
