Sand, mask, paint.
Still not a perfect match but much better then the white before.

Done. Still not a lot of air coming out of the defrost 
but I think it’s better than before.

Started it for the first time in some 3 months, started right up, I guess that means it doesn’t have any fuel leaks

Something showed up about 2 months earlier than expected. I thought I had to wait for the next batch be made.

More parts. Would be nice if they included a simple instructions manual

Another parts
Parabolics huh? I imagine some of the folks here will have Q's once you get some miles on.
What do you need instructions for? Take parts off, put parts on, wonder what the extra parts are for, no problem.

Would just be faster if there were instructions like “use p/n abc with the front springs “ put the wrong almost same part in the wrong place so just takes more time. Or label front/rear or label front package parts and rear package parts.
Sometimes they are marked right and left, but front and rear will be VERY apparent

Front shocks.
Looks like they give you a choice to either use rubber or the synthetic (?)( can’t remember the proper word right now). Which should I use?

I'm definitely not an expert, the synthetic ones are called polyurethane I believe, here's what a quick google search says, "Rubber bushings have more “give” and eliminate most noise and vibration making the suspension cushier. Poly bushings hold the suspension components tighter which is better for handling and alignment but the downside is more vibration making its way from the road to the driver."
Rubber will wear out faster in the long run, a leaf-sprung Land Cruiser can only ride so well, I really have no clue how much of a difference the rubber would make vs the poly. I personally have gone with poly bushings whenever given the option so they will last longer, it's not like these are luxury vehicles lol.
I have always heard that poly bushings are stiffer, but will wear out faster than rubber ones.
Like I said no expert. Hopefully, more ppl can chime in that know a bit more than I do lol

Front done. Went with the rubber bushes.
That's about right depending on the hardness of the poly

My poly bushings are only a year old and they already have enough slop to make a clunk sound as I whip the steering wheel around or go up over a curb.
I will switch to rubber.
