it looks awesome! hey whats up with those fj62 exhaust parts there not on your website also might need a couple 80 series ac swap parts was just on your website.
 
I need to get the 62 Y-pipes onto the site.. along with about 1000 other parts.
Need to hire a website addition/inventory/fulfillment manager. Badly. Who wants to come sell LC parts with me??
Also, really need an a 4th technician in our shop so we can reduce lead times and increase throughput if anyone knows anyone interested in working in a LC shop. Dreading making posts on Indeed and Glassdoor.
 
Nothing important but some guys literally just post pictures of fish they catch to their build threads, I fixed the taillight I obliterated at relic run, and drive it to the bar once.
I have a pretty new idea for the taillights I want to try that should hopefully save future units.

I also have a completely unrelated AC thing I want really to prototype in this truck.. along with a few dozen other things
Don’t make me post more fish pics to my build thread ! 🤣
 
Just need to find some time and motivation… wanting to get this fixed for Mardi Krawl in September

Also need to pull rear diff and fix what I am guessing is the bonded seal leaking. Have had to replace a few on ARB’s made around 2021-2023 and all of them have looked completely different like made in different factory. I know my rear locker is from around then so I’m in the same boat.

I haven’t forgotten about this project either..
still need to get a part-time kit for it, and I think I am going to do 10% underdrive gears at the same time (to put myself around 4.56 in high range)

I have a customer with a semi new HF2A with high and low gears already coming out of his 80 at some point, maybe I should see if he’ll make me a great deal on his complete assembly (@Fosters 👀 )

I did get a new 100 series CDL actuator. I want to wire this to my original H4 switch and ditch a shifter when I re-do the tunnel and shifters.

Finally getting rid of the 203, nice. That's a NWF blackbox right? My ecobox (same thing) has been rock ****in solid.

Got any plans to deal with the fluid overheating issue in the NWF doubler?

Yes, see post 2425 from last year. Have a really nice oil pump and cooler. Need to design or buy reservoir/fill tank to mount high in engine bay.

I have a similar 3rd member holder but its for monster truck drop outs. Summer time cold suck ass I usually get sick once a year usually in the fall when the weather changes and temps change drastically i also stay away from germ infected little kids lol
 
Step 3 rebuild 3rd member with new ARB, new gears, new bearings, solid pinion spacer.

I think I will install this in the rear axle since my rear bonded seal is leaking, and then fix that and install in the front. I also have a rear vibration at high speeds I am suspecting might be differential related since someone else built my rear 3rd.
