Beatiful trick. Now you just need a front bumper to go with the rear
Thanks
I'd definitely like a front bumper, but so far I have managed without one. The discretionary funds have been going towards the new 80 lately

So far my only complaint is that the dash cover, covers the auto light sensor... going to find someone local to cut a hole and stitch it (for the 100 and for the 80... yeah the 80 got a dash cover too!)

I forgot how terrible I am at bending tube. Here's the continuation of the roof rack project I started way too long ago and never got around to finishing. Got the second bit bended this afternoon. Didn't get the length to match perfectly with the one I bent months ago (I don't think I trimmed it to the correct length). I'll likely chop some out. Next up is to start cutting and notching the horizontal bars

I am working through some prep work for HIH9 this year, here is my current drain and fill list:
And here are the part numbers for the plug gaskets:
Item | Fluid | Volume | Plug Torque (drain and fill) |
| Transmission | Mobil1 Synth ATF | 2-4.5 qt | 15 ft lb |
| Front Diff | SAE 80W-90 Gear | 1.7 qt | 36 ft lb |
| Center Diff | SAE 80W-90 Gear | 1.4 qt | 27 ft lb |
| Rear Diff | SAE 80W-90 Gear | 3.5 qt | 36 ft lb |
| Engine Oil | Mobil1 Synth 5W30 | 7.2 qt | 29 ft lb |
And here are the part numbers for the plug gaskets:
| Front Diff plug Gasket | 12157-10010 | 2 |
| Center Diff plug Gasket | 90430-A0003 | 2 |
| Rear Diff plug Gasket | 12157-10010 | 2 |
| Trans Plug Gasket | 35178-30010 | 1 |
What does the 2-4.5 qt indicate on the transmission volume? Is that a flush then fill?

Seems that it varies how much comes out of the pan when you pull the plug, that range covers what I’ve found in various threads on mud. I put in a little over 3 quarts after draining and it seems happy. Need to get it warm and check again, may take a bit more
All of these fluids (expect engine oil) are things that I still need to tackle soon. I unfortunately have no history on their last change.

No better time to change them than right now, you can knock it all out in an afternoon if you get a nice oil pump

In preparation for the UHF/VHF radio install that should be happening this weekend, the antenna and wires are routed:
Also note, the nasty AZ pinstriping from this past weekend

I guess the real question is: If you don't have pinstripes, do you really have a Land Cruiser?

To an extent, I agree, but I just feel downright guilty about the brush I shoved it through this weekend. It pulled up some of the vinyl I used to wrap the trim pieces...
That's not so cool. Every time I go out, I get more pinstripes. It is really discouraging me from doing anything to the paint.

overall, not too bad on most trails around AZ but we were playing around in the sierra anchas last weekend and it got real tight real quick
