Finally got it back together and on its wheels today. Been on blocks since Cruise Moab in April, I seemed to pick every backordered part out there.

Pulled the radiator today (as well as alternator and power steering pump + new transmission and power steering hoses). The radiator I pulled is a Koyo C1917 I installed August 2008. No issue with cooling, just part of age related PM. Replacing with the same unit. I noticed a lot of tiny little "cracks" in the plastic tanks. When your use case is decades long, it seems like pretty much every plastic or rubber part needs the be replaced "routinely". I'm having issues with factory wire connectors getting brittle and breaking now. Happened with the connector on the alternator. Just hoping I get positive engagement click when I put it back together. Sourcing specific connectors and repinning them isnt something I really know how to do, but I guess I'll get better at it. Didnt start reassembly today because damn dealership didnt receive (or order, I think) the radiator mounts/isolators I ordered on Tuesday... it has been said before, but I miss the CDan days when a phone call got you EVERYTHING down to the smallest bit n' bob you would need to do any specific job.
Also welded up a cage last night for a Truck Fridge 65L fridge I bought. Used 5/8" 16ga steel tube with perforated metal shielding over the compressor and sensitive bits. No pic yet, just primed it last night. Will post up once I'm ready to install everything.

So nice. Mine have this weird/awful "spider webbing". I'm assuming it is aluminum corrosion or something. I should put this on the list. Very nice.

@deltavehiclesystems center console installed onto the LS3 swapped 80 that’s here. Customer requested HAM radio so we went with the Yaesu. The receiver was installed onto the outside of the console. Although we did consider mounting it inside we felt outside was going to be a more convenient spot. The bracket holes were slotted so that we could use the standard console holes available.
For the speaker, we chose to use the speaker that’s under the steering wheel by the left knee. It was already there and a simple install.
The faceplate mounting is next but we are doing something custom like we did for the last 80 we had here.

Installed my other Yodateq flip up today. Used single window seals instead of the ones from my sliders. The end result looks so much better. I was amazed at how the new seals are both easier and harder to install at the same time.
Also forgot that I still have the Lexus first aid kit in the interior panel cubby. Who still has one of these?

Well- finally got the to the rear axle and did it all by myself. Sloped driveway with broken concrete? Check. Rusted areas? Check. Cuts and scrapes? Double check. Proud moment regardless. time to slide in the lockahhz

Went to Fall Crawl at The Cove in Gore, VA. Made some new friends. Took the truck through way more than I ever thought I would. Good time was had after all the work that's been put into the thing. Already looking forward to next year.
