Got a Warn M8000-S, Warn offset hawse fairlead (106880) and Factor 55 Ultrahook (00250-04). Also, wired up the new Stedi 7" Type X foglights. And while I was at it, I installed the greatest deal in Toyota parts history, the 81110-60P70 headlight and harness kit.

Thanks for the tip DrRock!

Also, finally recharged the A/C system after replacing most of the major components (see earlier posts). I've never really done any a/c work until this truck, so fortunately, there are several good videos about it. Anyway, the system held a vacuum for about an hour, then I kept the vacuum pump...

Just been doing a few odds and ends to the truck lately. Got some new tie rod hardware, lug nuts, and did an alignment.

Awesome truck and a fair price, GLWS!

Cool truck! Anxious to follow your build.

I was also going to change the spring from the clutch pedal to the firewall, but it's NLA (PN# 90905-07006). So if someone knows of an alternative please let me know. Thanks, Darren

I just used a wire coat hanger. Use the loop on the end of the coat hanger to grab the end of the spring and pull down. Popped right off. However, that was after I tried about 5 other ways to get them off with no success.... ;) I haven't changed out the plastic piece yet, so no tips on that.

I actually changed the springs on the pedal assist thing, but that didn't help. So I kept digging.

My clutch was sticking about halfway to the floor, but I could pop it back in place with the top of my foot. Turns out, it was a failing slave cylinder. So I replaced the slave & master, and it's back good as new.

Spa day!

I also got new shock bolts and spring hanger bolts while I was at it...

Shout out to @wngrog for the tip about these sway bar links that fit like a glove
