Anytime, made this whole job so much easier instead of having to put everything together in the cart on my own, keep it up.Thanks for the use feedback! Those are OEM calipers too

One of my USA client trucks is getting a quick refresh before heading to TN
Great, she will be in the region so I have a chance to see her on the trail.
The current pillar rug really seems to tie the room together with the pop top and all. But we'll need many more interior pics to really lend our thoughts.
Swapped out the “glass” for the combination meter, what a difference. 83138-90K00
I agree. First world problems I know but just had to get multiple opinions from the experts here.
Eric did a wonderful job with the headliner overall.
Hello,
The cover on the right appears to be from a newer model.
Personally, I find the newer tone more appealing.
I would try the cover for a few days to whether it grows on me.

Air tank and regulator installed. The regulator set to 5 psi to pressurize the 32 gallon stainless water tank.
What I don’t have photo is the AC working. I’m thrilled because it is an OEM evaporator, after market condenser, complete wire harness from a euro 74? Series (thanks @joekatana) that was extended to the long body. All the sensors and control module are OEM. The dual control knob for fan and AC had the wrong connector, so between EWD and scratching my head I got it right. The big nut to connect the low pressure line in the firewall was custom machined and all the AC plumbing I made myself. And there was all the support on the network.
What I think is more amazing, that they landed on the moon without YouTube and ChatGPT so all this was pretty easy.

Ofer, that is beautiful work.
Today I used the soft top 74 to cart drums around. Friends, never let your teenage kids become a drummer until they can drive themselves around.

Picked up a new daily for the wife.
Swapped my turbo this weekend. A td04 was installed at some point in its life. Unsure of mileage so I swapped it out with an identical unit. I didn’t change any of my boost/fuel settings to see if there was a difference.
the new one peaks much higher around 22 compared to my old one that peaked around 16. Much more pep off the line too which is nice. guessing the old one was tired.
Honestly I wish these 13bt’s sounded more like my old 1hdt but beggars can’t be choosers. Wish I could replicate @FJBen 's turbo sound but I'm not ready to pay the price.

Not my Cruiser, but it might be close enough
Washed the bride's FZJ70 and her Audi this morning. Meshal found the FZJ70 for us last year and it seems to get better by the day. And a good wash helps to show that.

A sawzall and you too can have sweet blowoff sounds
@FJBen also a high quality turbo, which I dont have.
If it isn't broken... fix it until it is...
I thought I was the only one with that motto.
