The old front stock leaf springs were beat up up. It was like driving around a Jesus bobble head, so I went ahead and installed some new OME springs. I went with the medium duty and it’s a huge improvement on ride quality

Finished up the tire swing on my rear bumper today. Looks good. Thanks mark for the kit

Was dealing with some heat issues wheeling slow in the heat so i installed a Poison Spyder Hood Louver. Helps out a lot for sure. Broke my heart to cut the hood up.

Cleaned up the grounds on the battery today with a bus bar. Going to add a few more ground straps as well. I hate having a million wires coming off the battery.

Got some more random free time so installed my oil cooler I’ve had laying around. 10an with a built in thermostat. Kinda close to headers but it’ll do the trick.

Next on the list is Boss air bags for the rear leafs.

Finished cleaning up the battery and added the positive bus bar along with finishing the intake. Still need to finish the box for the intake filter.

That air filter looks kinda small, does it run ok? I know it sounds silly but had an issue on an LY6 swap with that.

I think it actually runs better then the bigger 90 degree elbow I had on it for sure.

Back at it with the fj60 the last few days. Got some much needed work done on it. Put some sweet adjustable reservoir shocks on the rear. Had them valved for the weight of the truck. They ride 100 times better then The old Bilstein 5125’s for sure.

Finished up hooking up the stock coolant sensor and oil pressure sending unit as well. Now all the original gauges work (except for the rpm gauge).

Finally got my new Oem taillight covers in. Only took 3 weeks
