Replaced the master window switch trim. This one was sourced from Aus for a pretty penny since the usual Middle East sources didn't have stock. The original had it's lifespan stretched a bit with zip ties, and glue, but it finally bit the dust. Also commemorated a literal "milestone" with...

Wow! That's cool (and quiet, too, I bet), but I can't help but wonder how much weight you added to the truck. I know that sound deadening mat is pretty heavy.

Nice! I need to order myself one fairly soon, as the "chrome" is starting to bubble. I saw them on Amayama for around 200 bucks. Mind if I ask where you sourced yours?

Returned from the first "long" trip since the HG job. About 650 miles total down to the Texas Hill Country and back to Dallas, providing some post-op care for my father-in-law after his heart surgery. It was a beautiful time to be in the Hill Country. The truck performed flawlessly, lots...

Whiteknuckle not in the running? Asking because I am in that same eval mode, and keep coming back to Whiteknuckle in terms of value, style and wanting a non-weld install.

Looks great! What material did you use to fab your door cards?

Gonna see if I can revive this thread before starting (yet) another Code 52 thread. '94 FZJ80. Recent HG job done. Mechanic replaced knock sensor #1 while doing the job, but was waiting on the part for KS#2, and I needed the truck back. Was (and is) throwing code 52. Plan was to bring the...

Fusable links??

Hit a milestone today! Or I guess I should say "kilometer stone." 😀 IFYKYK (We don't talk about the obvious tool marks on the odometer. What happened in Australia stays in Australia, lol)

Excellent! I learned something today, and it's only 8:30. :) Definitely will pick up that thread pitch gauge.

Ty!

I managed to strip a grab handle bolt while troubleshooting a clogged sunroof drain tube. Anyone know the bolt size? I can always stare and compare or dive deep into the Partsouq bowels, but figured I'd ask just in case. :)

@OkieOverland , I got Coverking Cordura Ballistic Seat Covers a couple years ago, and they are cool, comfortable, look decent, and have stood up well. Got mine from Auto Anything, but lots of Coverking dealers out there. I was originally looking at Escape Gear covers from Equipt, but just...

Replaced my cracked and leaking (and non-working) front corner lamps. Had to source from Australia (via Aussie eBay) to get the right style in chrome. After market, but good fit and finish, and decent price. In the process I learned the hard way that the corner lamps for the quad headlamp...
