What are you working on?

But it is still IFS

Ward, that is your cue to just buy an 80 for play..an use that sweet 200 for towing and overlanding duty while it’s still new..I swallowed that tough pill a while back myself. In 20 years our IFS rigs will be on portals and living up to the heritage of their ancestry

Oh I've accepted I won't be able to keep up in the 200. Have a boy coming July so mom car is getting upgraded then yeah 80 might just need to happen...

More of a what will I be working on..

I was cleaning up the interior of the 80 and I felt a weird lump in the driver's floorboard. Looked underneath the truck and found a giant stick had wedged itself up there. It bent my brake lines but didn't break them and took 30 years of grime off the trans oil pan. And the obvious damage to the floor which I fixed with a ball peen.

I'll be replacing the brake lines just to be safe but I've driven it a few hundred miles without noticing anything. I've even been under the truck a couple times.

I guess I was a little too rough on her this year at fall crawl.

I decided to dig into the damaged frame from the 06 4runner.

Almost like it never happened

And some paint

Replaced a slightly-leaky aftermarket heater valve with new OEM before she blew. One of the very few Achilles heels that will stop a 1FZ-FE.

Oh, and some minor beautification items to look good for upcoming trips!

Letting @mess331470 use the lift to drill out holes for camper and trailer.

More 4runner fun. First was Betsys leveling kit and new shocks/struts. Today was her daughters. It got some new OME rear springs to cure the saggy bottom boys look and to help carry the weight of her drawer system.

I spent the better part of 5 hours with a torch, angle grinder and flap disc to clean the brackets off the 62 housing. I want everything ready for when I do the swap.

In an attempt to locate and fix my death wobble. Last Sunday I tried removing my front panhard bar to replace bushings and ending up breaking free, an inaccessible welded nut which ended my motivation for that day. The following day I cut a section out of my coil bucket and was able to squeeze a 22mm wrench in to hold the nut and got everything taken apart. While pulling panhard, I noticed rear bushings in front lower arms need replacing as well. There’s got to be something better out there.

Then with a little help from @FamilyCamper , on New Years Day, we pressed the new bushings in without any issues at all. (No pics)

Today was able to get back to it and reinstalled panhard, took for a test drive and death wobble seems to be gone. Excited about that for sure.

Here’s a pic of the bucket I had to trim and nut. Was able to get an ugly weld back on it and torque to 127ft lbs so winning. Ps. That steer stop has seen better days

Also added some cabinets, a countertop (took longer than I anticipated) and some shelving in my pantry. Still a work in progress but happy so far.

Throw full skids and a winch on that 200 if you haven't already, and it'll keep up.

she's fully armored and built now, think some bigger rubber under it will probably help out, and just more time wheeling it

You're not wrong about that. It's pretty impressive what a 200 can do. Just gotta be willing to accept some body damage being on the east coast.

My headlamp switch internals. Going to clean the contact points perhaps a slight bend too. Also have some odd issues with front marker lights, so still working through that. Slow progress.
