What are you working on?

Put a tuffy console off ebay into the 60. Made some cuts in the box to keep the rear heater lever / face piece and moved the rear heater switch to a dash switch panel. Turned out great and I guess some people rag on the tuffys but man it is so much better than the stock tiny plastic thing.

Decided to be a little arts and crafty and LVP dye the arm rest pad to - sort of - match the dash gray.

It was also like 110 deg inside the truck… will clean up and put tools away tomorrow

Also reworked and more robustly wired my diesel cold start glow screen button. There *should* be a sensor and control module, but that was lost / tossed somewhere along the way so I had just wired the circuit to a rocker switch before, but needed that slot on the panel for the rear heater. Now that circuit’s been adopted by what was a goes-nowhere fog light button. Getting a snowflake sticker to put on it.

Decided to redo the swing arm on the gx to get a sturdier pivot point and a safer lock. Plus with the abuse of the license plate was to much and I needed to relocate it.

Vanity won out. I repaired my wind deflector with a cool little tool I bought off Amazon

I am doing a little metal work today. Started to make some patch pieces fkr my hard top. Deciding to continue or hit the easy button and order the kit from CCOT. I have the rear corners but need about 16' of rail. I have a little over 3' made so far. I may try to make some 4' sections. My press brake will only maKe one bend of three and only 19" long, so all of this has been done by hand.

I did get to play with my new shears that will cut 14g.

I can admit, my arms are not used to swinging a hammer so much! I have 1 1/2 more to do.

I will finish them with some hand dollies once welded up.

My arms are jello! One more to go, but will wait till another day. YJ's calling

It’s nice to have a trail truck where you can try your first hand at Bondo work and not really care about the final outcome. Could have been better if I had removed my bumper but again, my only goal was to address the rust / holes and make it somewhat presentable from far away. Had some fun mixing black and green paints to get something somewhat close to the factory color.

De-gold packaged the rest of my rig while I was at it, and touched up the wheel center caps with the same paint that matches the lower cladding.

Finally gave it a good hand wash and interior armor all to remove the layers of Relic Run dust that still coasted every surface
