Checking here also, are there any more recent recommendations for windshield replacement, especially in the south Denver area? Thanks for any help you may have to offer.

I’ve yet to get the broken pice out, but before I get caught up in installation, here’s a shot of the old, broken piece alongside the new part, extracted from the assembly purchased through PartSouq. Notice the 2061 A on both parts. Also, in the 4th picture, note the thickened rod, just above...

I’m in the exact same boat. I see above the part number. Did you order per PartSouq?

I bought the extension, but haven’t run it yet. I need to confirm that it will work, as I’m taking it on the road in a couple of weeks. I’ll check this weekend and post back either way.

From whom did you get your new headlights? My plastic ones are terrible, and I’m close to being ready to bite the bullet. TIA.

On the off chance some who cares might see this, I bought the wrong rear coils for a 4th gen 4Runner, which became evident after installing them and driving around a bit on them (200 miles or so). Since the finish is scratched Ironman won’t take them back. I paid $225, and am looking to recoup...

That was several iterations ago. I think they were 275 65 18. A tiny bit of liner rub, which I mitigated with a heat gun and reshape session.

Added a little lighting. I upgraded my Baja Designs s2 sport fogs to Diode Dynamics Ssc2 fogs, and added a light bar (CoLight 25” slim). It seems that, along with everything else being less impressive with age, my eyesight is not what it once was, especially at night. Hopefully this will help...

Thanks for the feedback. As usual, I got it and threw it on before a trip and just wanted the quickest method. I‘ll take your recommendations into consideration next time I’m getting ready to mount it.

I’ve only used it incidentally on a couple of trips, so not exhaustive testing, but it seems fine. It could definitely be more streamlined, and I’m going to look into lower profile mounting, but that’s on me, not Ironman.

Played in the rocks and mud. Will have to recruit a photog with vehicle and wheeling experience (though, to her credit she enjoyed the ride).

You have a brilliant future ahead of you. Very nice work. And thanks for sharing!

I have the same wheels (only in grey), tires, and run 1.25 “ spacers. While I don’t rockcrawl, I’ve been very happy with the wheel/tire setup. So unless you hate your wheels (easily repainted), I’d stick with them. My LX is set up for wheeling/exploring the west. No issues.

At 265k miles it was way past time for the third timing belt and water pump. I’m in the middle of a move, so I paid to have the work done, plus transfer case, tranny, and front diff service. Now I can rest a bit easier knowing that those items are taken care of. Whew!
