Got the rear brakes rebuilt, replaced the alternator and that took care of most of the strange noise under the hood. Now I have to figure out how to reattach the skid plate but other wise I think I have everything wrapped up and ready.

Hey Goose, I could probably help you out on welding in some tads. Let me know when
That would be awesome man! I'll try to have all the prep work done so all we'll need to do is weld them on. I'm thinking any day after 4-16, that will give me time to have it ready for welding. Just let me know when works for you and I'll have it ready.
Thanks for the help!

I'm off on Tues, Wed, and Thurs in April. Anytime in the afternoon would work.
I added to my list this week:
Timing belt/water pump replacement
Install snorkel (not that I'll need it at GSMTR)

How's the operation dry out coming, Jamie?
Operation dryout is complete! Now it's changed to Operation Chase Minor Electrical Problems. Such as... No horns. Airbag control module and the o2 sensor. But, the good thing is that it's back together and driveable.
Just registered and have the winch mounted. doubt I will get anything else done. The tow rig needs some attention.
I just hope I can get something done to mine. I spend every free minute at the farm, so I haven't touched anything on any of the rigs lately....
If not I will just roll up in the 4Runner and be a bum for a couple days.

Don't doubt the capability of the 4Runner! Ain't no bums here.
I started to text you today to ask if you were locked out back. And I know the T4R can get it done, but it's my DD so it'd be gravel roads and easy stuff for us in it, or I'd be a bum and ride wif somebody.
Mine is open and (kind of) a daily driver. Faolks seem to be surprised when they find out after watching what it can do.
Mine is neither open or a daily driver, I vote TAKE IT OUT AND WHEEL IT, I'm tired of having the most beat up 3rd gen jm2c.
I've befn spending too much time on my off-road camper... I did get my bumpers re painted and ordered light gray monstaliner today for the flare area...
Now that I have the rack installaed, I have to get the brackets for the rtt lined up so I can mount it. Then hopefully Dad will be done with his welder (he's restoring a '48 Ford pickup, we have a bit different tastes in automobiles) so I can build the platform I designed that will basically turn the back of the Cruiser into a "raised truck bed" with attachment points for lashing down cargo/cooler on top, storage of recovery gear underneath, and then compatible for sleeping in emergency situations with the second row folded down. I'll probably wait til after GSMTR to get it Linexed just in case I decide to add more holes to attach things to. But other than that, and baselining fluids/greasing the driveshaft and changing out the heater hose T's, she's prety much done for this year.
BIG THANKS to Ryan for all the help today! Got the actuators welded on and wired, brackets for the awning, drilled some holes, moved the shower hooks, and fixed the trailer lights. "Today was a good day".
It was great to see Rance and Corey again. Thanks for the pizza Rance, hope you score the wheels and tires!
Thanks again!
