Installed the Apex 12k winch on the LX. Really wanted that control box hidden but damn it's huge. I couldn't fit it in the bumper or under the hood.

I cut my arb bumper so I did not have to do the relocation kit. Fits in there perfectly.

ah, yeah I probably could have done that. Mine is a TJM T13 and had a section above the winch that was slightly too narrow for the control box to sit. Maybe I could have cut that, but the box also hit the support for the hood latch/rad support. I may take another look at it.

Just finished replacing the starter, vcg’s, and did a full timing case refresh (minus cam seals - they were nice and dry). Also the drive belt, along w new tensioner, fan bracket, and pulley.

Runs like a top!

 

[blackohio]

Looks nice, but do you need a step stool to get into the fridge? Is that slide top an option for the Dobinson drawers or did you modify it? It looks more robust than the ARB slider tops I have in my Sequoia.

I plan on probably doing a tilt slide on this was well. I can reach it all fine but my wife is like face level at the slide.

On the Dobinsons LX its standard with the slide top and so far seems sturdy enough, the fidge isnt small or light

100 Series hunting in NYC today..

 

[OwnerCS]

Started the GMRS installation with an Alamosa 6dBi gain 42" antenna on the ARB

 

[Cleric Duran]

Removed the already tattered and torn fabric from the speakers (fr & rear) and spruced them up with a little paint. Reupholstering or purchasing replacements seemed like overkill.

did you remove the door card our just tape off, spray and pray?

 

[SeMonster]

Getting started on the small, easy stuff.

First got some new reading material.

Then removed the factory running boards. What a difference!

Only managed to shear two bolts in the process so I’d consider that a win. If anyone in Utah wants a free set of running boards keep an eye on the classifieds.

Haha...love how you put that. I taped, masked, and covered the whole door with paper. Towels all over the interior. I took some precautions and it turned out pretty well.

Just installed a roof rack and cleaned the mud from underneath, noticed the ps rack leaking from input seal so flushed the system and added at-205 reseal and m1 atf. Sucked the Trans fluid out from dipstick and got 3 new qts of m1 atf going in.

I would rather do what you did. What about the paint getting on the speak itself?

The project took me about 40 minutes for all 4 speakers. Kept the spray can at least 12" away and covered with a very light coat - it didn't take much. I'm sure you could very easily fill in the holes with paint, plugging them up and compromise the sound coming from the speakers. Just pay attention.

Replaced the hood insulation liner and clips. If anyone in New England is missing one altogether and doesn’t mind a football-sized squirrel hole, let me know. (Picture was mid-removal, the edges and mounting holes are all fully intact)

[hotdiggitydamn]

Fluids, grease, tire rotation, new Pelican cooler, and starting the rest of my bumper today (finally)! Used my newly built Rouge Fab bender and it worked great. 1.75 .120 main hoop and .090 supports. All 4130 and will be double pass TIG welded and raptor lined by this time tomorrow hopefully. Going beach camping for a week starting Monday. I’ll likely add two more bumper supports near the ends of the main tube after the trip but just wanted something resembling a bumper for now.

Sweet! Been looking for this style antenna before I order my GMRS radio for my cruiser. Looks awesome

 

[TheForger]

Oil & filter change, new Bosch Icon wipers (which I LOVE so far), and new Trail Tailor rear LCA’s. Bought them uncoated so I sprayed them with VHT epoxy paint and I think they came out great! Hard to tell the difference between this and powdercoat. Hoping it holds up well. Also replaced the straight grease zerk on the Johnny Joint to a 45° to make it easier to get a grease gun in there (@OwnerCS idea). So far they feel great!

This is a 232,769 mile rear LCA bushing. Doesn’t look that bad at first glance but if you apply strain to the metal sleeve you can see the cracking and separation
