After 6 years of service (Sept 12) the Die Hard Gold Group 27 battery is toast. No longer kept a charge (measured 9.2 V 5 days after charge) and started to leak small amount of liquid from top caps during last charge attempt. No need to risk battery issues so replacement procured. Sears has a Labor day online purcase discount so....another of the same!

Kali smog check required this year in order to complete vehicle registration process.
Drove in and drove out with a PASS!!!! No systems adjustments needed. Big relief as I am always concerned when the emissions systems test of a 30 year old vehicle must be tested.
Wonder what the statewide cattle manure emissions test results were this year as certain studies show that manure is a significant source of harmful greenhouse gas emissions; certainly larger than our FJ6#s.
I would forego eating hamburgers if the Kali smog requirements were eliminated. No testing, less spaghetti, less headaches. If only.....

Door frame pinch weld replaced with Wagongear aftermarket product. The "bulb" portion is the key to anticipated reduced wind noise and door frame water leak prevention. Hoping it remedies suspect DS door water leak.
Were your leather seats a vendor purchase or local upholstery job?

Today was dedicated to cargo area work. Installed new upper hatch door handle. Cleaned up and reinstalled the original cargo surround weatherstrip and hatch lower weatherstrip. Installed new Wagongear tailgate top lip weatherstrip seal. Took her for a spin and was very impressed with the reduced road noise.

Fix completed. Fortunately it was just a water pump failure - it was replaced with new OEM. Coolant flushed and refilled. New belt installed. During the fix, had the rear heater bypassed. It will be taken out for extra space and to avoid any future cabin leaks. On to the next item.
