Finally onto final assembly

Some of the nicest OEM options I’ve seen, wasn’t the easiest to find

I really dig those wheels. Good luck with the sale.

Yeah, please post what happened. I've taken my wife's cars there before and never had an issue.

well, my lunch was good while it lasted :oops:

Yeah, it's all gentrified now anyway.

I wonder why the grid heater didn’t work? At least, living in Texas, I don’t need to worry about it. I could pirate one off of an FTE that is sitting here, but I think I’m just going to gut it and use it as a static spacer, which the...

@shanko she was out of town. She has called the HJ61 as her truck to drive but I’m wondering if she’ll change her mind when she sees and drives the Cave 80. @davegonz I am trying! One bite at a time. Also, in case anyone was wondering, my hose...

You're knocking it out. Keep the momentum going!

Thermostat was next, just ‘cause I was in there. Always remember to keep @davegonz ’s jiggle joint upwards.

Hmm, good question. Maybe I can repurpose the material and make something out of it? A red TEQ thong maybe? That will bring back the sex appeal. 😂

Check out the pimpy Omani panels. 😂

Like a dumbass, I forgot to remove the spare tire before installing the new bumper. I struggled this morning but I got it out. Damn that split rim/285 combo was heavy! Got the license plate light bracket installed temporarily before the fuel can...

Ok, time to get this thing back on the road. Using the @davegonz method, tiny little bites, getting little bits done. A couple weeks ago I replaced the totally fractured and rotten heater valve. What am I standing on as a stepstool?

Some forward facing options if you want something safer for your kids. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/faq-rear-seat-options.61617/

Oh i see! No it make sense

Looking great!

No more room at the inn....

Got the second swing arm installed.

I think you could run the OEM 70 series Toyota tag holder, light assembly on the swing out. Just need to extend the wires and route them. Different bumper, but I have the same ding on my door from the spindle 😂

Yes, that's what I'll do once I find a gas can holder to mount it to.

This is a 70 series tag holder. I have a spare if you want it.

Damn. Those doors are fairly tough. You must have wailed on it good
