Did 2 things this weekend...sourced the hose and clamps and made my own PHH kit to install, and put these new wheels and 35s!!
Nice! How did you do this? Mine are a little cloudy as well.
Probably the wrong way lol but used a random orbital and a pad I had for doing cars with a meguiars compound.
Curious to see how long it lasts but if not it literally took 10 minutes to do both

Steering wheel looks great! How good is the supplied thread that you use to sew it on?
Thanks. The thread seems fine. I pulled on it pretty hard a few times tightening up some of the spots in the tight corners and it never broke on me.

Come and take it
After 5 years and only 7500 miles on Toyota sensors, I was getting the dreaded 28 code and my engine was running rough as hell! I ordered a set of new sensors and got them in the mail today. Due to the fact that I have such low miles on the previous sensors I’m going to soak them for a few days in brake cleaner and see if it will prolong them for a little while before I put the new ones in.
We’ll see what happens

What lift are you running? I'm curious if it would even matter or make a difference on a my 1.75" Dobinson's lift. As it is mine drives nice.
Got stuck on a minimum maintenance road with few options to winch from. Got out though without having to touch a shovel. So that's a win
Backing out is where I screwed myself. I'm thinking I should've done that in 2wd, not locked.

Mine’s been my daily, since I’m in the market for a new work truck.
Not bad for some early Spring glamour shots. At least it’s not on pavement!

You're rig is stupid clean! (That's a compliment btw) Looks great!
That looks really good, is it real leather or bonded leather? It would be nice to pull the stitching and do a baseball seam on it but it looks great.
Went out with some new friends and ran from Camp Sherman near Black Butte to Madras, OR…went from snow to the high desert with a family members dog as my copilot 
One of the best compliments I've received went something like this:
"You know...you just look at a person and then their rig and say, Yeah...that looks like you. Dusty, that's you and your Cruiser...Like you, that thing just GOES."

A few more…
Also set up the VeePeak Bluetooth OBDII device ($30) and tethered it to my old iPhone and downloaded OBD Fusion ($9.99). Set it up next to my A-pillar
The thing I like about the reader is that it has a MUCH SMALLER footprint than the other one I used with the Samsung Tab-A (10 inch).
Overall, very happy.
ALSO picked up a 4k trail cam and will post videos on the next run.

looks excellent, so gotta ask… what paint did you use on the valve cover. Are the plastic pieces repainted with plastic compatible paint or are they new?

Much appreciated! Rolled by you 2 weekends ago to Good Evening Ranch in WVA to get a little mud on her and flex the suspension a bit just to prove it's not a poser....
All cleaned up now with a fresh power wash....
