Also put some sewing time into my sun shades View attachment 3022483View attachment 3022485

These are held in with magnets, super light and compact.

Welded in some recovery points, the bolt in one's are too low for me.View attachment 3022484

Took dash apart and found the needle had jumped of the gauge, assuming this was form me having my wires hooked up wrong and the gauge was trying to read too high by grounding out. Also replaced gauge bulbs with new and put in a D light bulb! But forgot the park one was out also next time I’m in there I’ll replace. Thanks @nigelsiam

What gull wing window are you running?

Gullwing or Gull Wing access window

This kit was created with several goals in mind. A clean looking clear access point to the rear of that car at an affordable price. Kits ordered will include gas strut. The panel material is a acrylic that can be ordered clear, tinted or in a variety of colors. This kit is for one side and...

Thanks for sharing your rear cam wiring route. I have one to install and this will really help.

Also, you already may be aware, but the AC/heat individual buttons are available to buy fairly cheap. I have a new OFF button ready to install myself…

5590560080 - OFF
5590560090 - LO
5590560100 - MID (looks like you’d need two of these with just the little square indicator)
5590560110 - HI

The bulbs look to be part # 8193060020. Again, you may have already known, but just in case it helps.

Update: Installed the OFF button. (Popped the old one off with a small bent paper clip.) However, I now have to replace ALL of them to match lol - jk

Received and installed the Slee slider steps. So well made, the install was a breeze.

Did a lot this weekend.
New lonkey wheel cover. The warnings about taking 4-5 hours are no joke. Was up until 2am doing it because I just wanted to finish it. lol. Pretty straight forward just time consuming. I removed the steering wheel so I could have better access and sit on the couch with a beer while I did it.

Welded on some new LandTank HD sway bar mounts on the front axle, some how I nearly tore mine out on the passenger side. eek!

Also did some home made sway bar disconnects. Felt I needed a different position from the LCP to allow full droop and to avoid the driveshaft from hitting the sway when up and out of the way. Tested full droop and all the way up to the bump stops.

Re-tightented both front wheel bearings, was getting some vibes and they were a little loose.

While doing all of the above I noticed my front rubber lines from caliper to hard line had some cracks, all 4 looked like this! Replaced with slee steel braided from cruiserparts. They were cheaper than OEM!

Now I'm tired.. but ready for slick rock next weekend.

got out for a short night run with my son to do some testing on his truck that has had a lot of changes. 3RZ/W59 swap, dual cases. New suspension with 3"TG fronts, Chevy 63 rears, Stage 4 Slinky shocks. 37x13.50s. Still open diffs but we have a locked Tacoma rear axle and a 80 series e-locker front diff ready to install. Should be a really fun truck after it's dialed in.

I got my White Knuckle sliders in the mail on Thursday. Had the sliders painted on Friday night and installed Saturday morning. Went out to Windrock on a trail ride after the slider install. I ended up with a small ding on the slider it held up well. However my paint job on the sliders is already flaking away. Will be sending them to linex here soon.

Took the GG80 out for the first camping trip in almost 16 months. It was nice to hit trails again.
