Had a hood vent idea rolling around in my head for a while. I didn’t want to cut any of the under structure on the hood, the 100 series has a ton of it and doesn’t really have any good wide open spaces to work with. So these just need the top sheet metal cut away and can be placed wherever. I...

My seat back panels were pretty trashed so I stripped the factory pleather material off and wrapped them in some plaid fabric. Something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Keeping straight lines straight on a completely curved panel is tricky! -also pictured is a little headrest...

Guess I got lucky! I only had to battle the steering shaft for a couple hours but it still put up a fight. Helped having the rack totally loose and then the fork could push the rack away as well. As for the diy alignment, I just needed to get a couple miles across town so I just want to...

Order received- thanks so much! I was also notified that you're my 250th order through the site- cheers to little milestones!

I'm pretty much building everything to order these days, seat back nets are typically shipped within 1-2 weeks depending on color. You can drop an order on the website if you'd like to get a pair rolling, be awesome to ship some out to another Colorado rig!

For the 1FZ I think technically it's 7.6 but I had a crowd of 80 series guys tell me to put 8 quarts on it. I do think these caps can be a little tricky to please everyone since a lot of folks have their own oil preference or don't want to use a Toyota filter.

I've got some brand new Old Man Emu torsion bars in the box that I'm looking to sell. Was just about to make a listing for them. Thinking $275 plus shipping from Grand Junction, CO.

Another little product I’ve had in motion is these oil caps. I always forget the capacity between our 100 and GX470 so these are pretty handy! Originally I was purchasing blank caps online but now these are machined at my friend’s shop in Minnesota. I’ve got them for fzj80, uzj100, and gx470...

I also installed a Slee diff drop while I was in there. I won this at the raffle last year at Cruisers On The Rockies, paid for the whole trip right there!

Let’s gets some updates in here- always a lot going on with life/family/work/business. Finally tackled a huge area of neglect a couple weekends ago. Had a new Toyota steering rack sitting on the shelf for a few months. My original rack was still tight, just leaking a lot and making a huge...

These looks awesome! I really like the 93-94 cloth seats. Thanks for sharing!

I also wanted to mention that my tanks are now available and in stock at Slee Offroad! Over the last few months I’ve had the pleasure of working with Christo, Ben, and the guys to get some of my products in their inventory and also develop tanks for more models of Toyota and Lexus vehicles...

I hear that! Looking forward to a warmer garage soon. I really appreciate your interest, reach out with any questions along the way!

Looks like an 03-07 tank for yours, that tank has a little more room on the front side versus the 98-02 tank that @Ma son has in his. The pumps will be under the relay on that corner of the airbox, they’re down low so you might not have to move that. Physically I think you’ll be ok but you...

For now I'm taking the tank that I offer and modifying it for clearance based on some dimensions needed to work around the headlight. The 98-02 tank and the 03-07 are different profiles but neither extend forward under the core support for a visual reference. I'm just doing a $50 ($100 if you...
