Tiny steps tonight.
I installed a remote lock/unlock unit made by Trail Teq in Australia. As this is a euro spec HDJ80 with no RS 000, there was nothing to disable. Literally just pull apart the door panel, plug and play. This is really well designed. I have now rocketed forwards from 1997 into the early 2000s of technology.

Now, the broken mirror:
There are new OEM 80 series mirrors still available… But only in black and chrome. Yes I ordered a wobbly mirror fix from Delta VS, but I tried out the black and I think I might go for it.

Tonight I finished bolting up the exhaust manifold/turbo, turbo oil lines, and got the 3 inch exhaust laid out. Relevant part numbers for turbo oil union, gaskets, and exhaust cushion attached.
Nate would like to go to bed.
PDI intercooler has been moved into the on deck circle.

In classic fashion, I lost the injection line hold down clamps. Stedman for the win again.
