Removing a tree from the top of my truck, the roof rack saved the day

Best use I've seen so far for a roof rack. Hopefully, your 80 didn't get too scratched up.
Lol... If you're looking for pictures of ass, this probably isn't the forum.
I’m pretty sure you know what I meant.
Hopefully this will fizzle out soon.
I think I explained myself and I was out of line.
Do you want to stir up some s***?

Dude, i have no idea what you're talking about. You went on a weird tangent rambling about pictures someone posted (that were 80 related), you apologized to everyone but apparently haven't let it go.
Continue to ramble or don't, the choice is yours. It makes no difference to me either way.
OK back to 80s stuff!

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 front end (what I have) and the dual ("Sahara" style) headlamp front end are NOT the same, lol. I initially bought a pair of chrome lamps from a seller in Japan, only to find that they would not fit. So now I have a pair of lamps for sale. If you're interested shoot me a PM.
A plug for the Australian seller, Oz-e-parts: excellent service and quick int'l shipping. They went out of their way to make sure I was actually buying the correct style for my truck (I wish the Japanese seller had done the same). I was also pleasantly surprised when the lamps showed up to see that they included the wiring harnesses and bulbs. I was fully expecting to have to source those separately.

Oh, taking my time, 10 hours or so over a couple of weeks in the evenings. I was in no rush. You could build it in a day.
Picked up some shiny wheels in restorable condition from another Mud member. Pretty excited to get these cleaned up and wrapped with some new tires.

Installed brand new OEM exhaust System from Manifold to exhaust tip including new brackets and hardware. Super happy! Just need to install the black heat shield by the cats tomorrow.

Is that really OEM? I didn't realize those cats hung down so far. Of course, you might not take yours off road, but it looks like those would get destroyed.
Yes, OEM Toyota. Yes they sit low but I just use it for towing Jet Skis and around town. Plenty of space to cut, turn them side ways and reweld them. Im assuming the floor might get hotter but def would have been better.

Spent my Saturday driving around with our 2 month old daughter and my wife. Getting the rig ready for spring and summer travels. The wife has a short list of upgrades to make it more comfortable, so here's what I'll be tackling next:
- New Sony head unit with carplay
- New speakers
- BH3D double cup holders
- Possible suspension replacement with Dobinsons stock height kit
- Cloth seat covers because the leather gets too hot in the Oklahoma sun - if anyone has a good recommendation for seat covers, I'm all ears!
