A little bit of time tonight to work on the cruiser, but not enough to dig into sanding the hood and scoop...
Therefore, it was a bit of hose rerouting to get them away from the thus far non-existent turbo.

Hood and Scoop stripped, prepped and painted. The Eastwood rattle cans blasted out some snot blobs, so I need to resand and do another coat...
The Eastwood cans still buggered up even with the sawzall shaker.

I also installed a new pinion seal, flange, and nut from @cruiseroutfit on the rear differential to stop the last remaining oil leak, huzzah!

Now to enjoy some quiet reading listening to the rain. I completely missed the earthquake as I was driving to lunch...
 
Not much progress. Took the 4Runner to Tetons and Yellowstone for two weeks, and then did the timing belt and assorted tuneup bits on it when I got back.

I did get two new AGM batteries for the cruiser, however. They are two Odyssey ODX-AGM24F, replacing the two Interstate 27F's that it came with. They are smaller, but have more CCA & CA. Because AGM. More importantly, they are sealed! No more seepage to eat paint and cause rust!

I also upgraded the terminals with military style ones.

On my trip, I saw a sweet FJ45!
