A dome light that actually works ...... LED dome light kit.
1978,
Forgot about the LED as I have my top on as minimum as possible. Picked this up on ebay. $8 for 16 ft strip. They will work outside for rock lights but I've ripped off everything by bumping. They have 3m adhesive but ended up using super glue. Night is now day inside the cab!

Putting a 2f valve cover gasket on my f engine was by far the best mod I have done so far. No more leaks. I highly recommend anyone with an f engine to do the same.

Replaced the old body mounts with a new Energy Suspension kit. Hands down one of the top modifications I've done to my rig.....P/S, Procar Rally Seats & OME lift are nice mods too.
I'm interested in your observations before and after. Early next year I will take The Beast to Quito to replace all window seals, adjust doors and new weatherstripping, new headliner. I am thinking of these body mounts as well. I already have the energy suspension pieces on my new shackles and springs. Curiously I think the Toyota rubber twist 'em up units ride softer. The poly bushings do indeed allow the suspension to properly rotate/function and I think that translates into a rougher ride so I was concerned that the stiffer poly body mounts might have a tendency to do the same.Replaced the old body mounts with a new Energy Suspension kit.
