Sumo Kit with Marlin seals via @orangefj45
Mo grease = less chance of water
New OEM brake lines
EBC rotors with new OEM wheel studs
I’ll add the new calipers and EBC pads tomorrow then move over to the passenger side. JTU had rebuilt these knuckles and POR15’ed all the parts so all I had to do was clean grease off and do some touch up painting. That really sped up the process nicely

JTU had recently had the driveshafts Redone. I repainted and greased and installed the front. Had to notch the crossmember to let it have full droop with these Dobinsons heavies
Engine got 7.5 q of this zinc laden goodness

I have managed to bleed in almost a quart of Swepco into the new 105 box and OEM pump
Took a lunch break so I can let what’s maybe leaking show it’s ugly face.

One more mount to make at the rear ….. exhaust is fully welded.
You exhaust out the rear, not behind the driver's rear tire?
That exhaust is art.

Went to get the Trail Tailor bezel and tried to match the color with the fuse box color (that has faded lighter) and it’s wrong. Going back with the glove box door this time

UV faded plastic is a PITA to match colors on powder. Best thing to do is take it to a good paint supply and have them computer analyze for the best match. Powder won't match no matter what on faded trim. Tried to do this a dozen times and no luck.

Add two layers of Thermozite foil insulation or similar on the trans hump or it will bunch up and will be loose and wrinkle badly. We even steam the hump carpet after install and still too much material. RockAuto sells the ACC kits for less as well.
This will help with the tcase and TO bearing whine as well.

Yeah. That first panel install was riddled with me doing things in the wrong order and getting ahead of myself. It took me more than an hour to figure it out.
Second one was about 30 minutes.
Very nice fit. Solid latching. It’s amazing how people’s brains work that can figure out how to buiid s*** like this for dopes like me to be able to install.
Make sure you have the proper hex bits for your drill or ratchet. It would add an hour doing all this with manual tools.
Oh yeah. Here is the fuel pump access door.
