I have a 37" spare mounted on a swing-out that blocks a good bit of the tailgate. It almost blocks the tail light as it is now. The tailgate is actually one of the only body panels, other than the hood, that are original and undented. 😋
Before I get to talking about this little project, keep in mind that, as most of you know, I am an Accountant by trade. My ability/desire to "make things pretty" aren't my strongest attributes. A discerning look at my truck should make that...

One week of volunteer work helping out the forest service.
That post pounder is one heavy sucker, well over 100 pounds. Plus the generator and the 25 foot hydraulic lines. Hauled it all around the forest. Put...
Hit this in the Tundra this morning
Going to celebrate by changing the oil for the first time.... lol JK. But oil is due, as are brakes and going to drain and fill the trans pan while replacing the gasket that started leaking a bit.
Shout out to @Cirbo. Days from moving and with a half-packed shop, he nonetheless helped Luke this weekend tackle a roll bar project on his speedster. We never would have figured it out. Stay tuned for future race updates.
Pour one out my brothers and sisters. Another good friend of ours is driving land cruisers in the sky.
Tim Boyd was a good friend of mine, and of the club. Unfortunately he passed away yesterday after a long battle. He will be remembered...
Is that BS lawnmower air filter on your valve cover your only crankcase vent? That is probably your issue, throw that crap away and see how it does with an open valve cover hole first. Those filters barely flow anything. You probably need to weld...
Put a new starter in cause it was turning over slow. And bought a new compression tester, compression is perfect. Found an oil leak on the turbo drain fitting and got that fixed. It was hard to to tell if the smoke was coming out the exhaust or...

Got the last panel up this morning, things sealed up, all panels wired in series, and connected to the entry gland. 127ish volts measured from the leads inside, means success. Next up, inside work, getting the controller mounted and wired.

I might have a "plug" for JDM Landcruisers (or any other vehicles). I recently bought a car from a dealer who frequents the auctions. Of course he's trying to make a profit, but not like the other dealers around here who are trying to rape you...
Thanks man! its been kicking my butt, but has been enjoyable at times seeing the progression of it. Got the cabinets and counter tops mounted tonight, also got the inside portion of the mini split done tonight.
