What a trip its been so far...

[DuManchu]

I've had my Cruiser since Dec 23rd 2005, here's what I've done so far (In no particular order) :

Bought a silver star
Joined TLCA
"Joined" TAC (Tornado Alley Cruisers, still need to mail my check and signed forms, coming shortly Chris! )
Replaced Starter Contacts
Replaced Front Door Speakers with Pioneer TS-G1341R's
New Spark Plugs
Replaced FHH Hoses
Replaced Valve Cover Gasket
New spark plug gaskets (in the valve cover)
Got the unresponsive lockers working
CDL Switch
New PCV Valve Grommet
New PCV Hoses
New Intake Hose
285/75/16 BFG AT's
New OEM Shocks
Fixed broken steering column cover
Greased U-Joints
Greased Driveshafts
Oil Change (Duh)
2x Diff fluid change
Transfer case drain and fill
New speedometer o-ring
Broke part of transfer case, fixed with neoprene expansion plug
FR Axle Rebuild (Thanks to the TAC wrenching weekend and everyone who helped )
Swapped the birfs
Removed roof rack (no spinners!)
Fixed some of the roof rack holes, still in progress
Silicone wiper blades
Removed running boards
Added new OEM mudflaps
Removed jump seats
Added IH8MUD, TLCA, TAC, and Apple stickers (The most important mods )
I think that covers it.

Up next:
PHH, water pump, FR/RR brake job, thermostat, cooling system flush, RR axle rebuild, alternator brushes, speedo gear, and a custom drawer system, then I'm ready for Colorado in June.

Oh yeah, THANKS A BUNCH TO CDan, and IH8MUD.com, couldn't have done it without you all!

Be careful about associating with those TAC folks - the next step will be a FJ40, FJ55, FJ60, FJ62, UZJ100, etc. They are a sick bunch. Stay far away from Trainrech (my brother) - he is real nightmare.

Oh trust me, I'm already there with no help from TAC. I'm thinking FJ45LV, FJ62, and a square bezel FJ40...

Gotta shore up the 80 first though .

Nice work man. Nice to know there is someone that knows how to wrench on their '80 in the Kansas City area.
I recently sold my 2nd Gen 4runner and got my FJ80. A '97 LX450. I go to school at KU and live in Lawrence during the week but I'm back in Overland Park during the weekends.
I want to check your rig out sometime! Let me know how the brakes go I'm going to do that myself here in a few weeks.
