What are you working on?

[Toyodajunkie]

So I installed the French Cleat system. Pretty simple. They move so hooks will nOt be in a fixed place. She will use them to hang chairs. She figured out spacing.

Looks good. Can't tell from the pictures but little suggestion is to cut a little off the sharp corner from the small wood cleat pieces. It will allow them to still sit down tight when any dirt/debris gets in the valley between the cleat and the wall.

Why so many chairs?

Yes, she needs to sand down the sharp edge.

This is what she is doing now for a living. She re-strings chairs, Danish cord, wicker, Kain, etc. She also repairs and refinished them. She just signed a lease on a space and has a lot to do to organize. She has more chairs in other areas.

Was working on putting some caster correction plates from landtank on and saw one of my front radius arms are not like the other…

What did you do to fix this?

Sorry, I forgot to call you back but I ended up at an emergency job working 45 hours in 3 days outside, all over the weekend. New arms will be here Friday. I don't know why it takes UPS so long to ship something from Idaho. Luckily old arms shouldn't be hard to take off since they were off a couple months ago. Talk about down to the last minute before SAS.

New battery and some new to me cleaning. Some messy wiring that already has replacements ordered. Think I'm going to start this build by slowly refurbing some interior stuff first and cleaning it up. Obviously ordered a rear bumper for it too...

Looks great. you can not go wrong with the 4x4 labs rear bumper. I looked at everyones, in person and settled on theirs.

If you keep the front one stock, I have brand new corner pieces I will make you a great deal on. IF you want ARB, I have an account and can get you a good deal on one.

I went dissent again, love it on the 200. Ultra high clearance on the front and currently just the base rear no swingouts

Hope they do not flex like the ones on the 200...

So you got the ultra high clearance for the front too?

Almost pulled the trigger on it a month ago when it came back in stock. Looking forward to seeing this if that's the case because I'm still up in the air to what front bumper I want to swap out to.

I’m going with the perennial favorite (4x4 Labs) on my rear, however with that recent LX450 sighting around town the Slee units look great as well both front and rear.

Much lower profile so hopefully won't be hitting it much but believe the 80 will be for more vigorous wheeling

Yeah ultra high for the front, really liked the look on the donut media 80 so hopefully I still do

Maybe I missed it but what is the locker situation on that new 80?

We just need some interior pics.

 

[captainva]

Unlocked

 

[jwfowler]

Correct not locked, but 35s and stock gears currently it definitely needs an upgrade soon, then it'll get lockers

 

[captainva]

I'd do 10% underdrive before regearing. Would be cheaper than buying two sets of gears for axles and you get that 10% added to low range as well. If you go 37s regearing axles makes sense since you can't get there with tcase gear

Did not realize the 10% went to high and low, but yeah planning those

 

[captainva]

Yeah basically gets you down one gear ratio
