Halfway finished installing my, new-to-me, steering wheel. It's from a mk1 mr2 targa with optional leather. Not 100% sure I'm in love with it. The snap and feel is awesom, but it sticks out super far from the signal/wiper stalks. If I decide to keep it I'll have to trim the steering colum shrouds.
Lots of tinkering 
I had a bent swing arm strut on the rear Kaymar, while I had parts coming I picked up their telescoping LED work/camp light. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out though I'm not super jazzed about their exposed wire/connectors. It will be just fine functionally but they could have loomed it a bit more? I suppose it makes it easy to swap a light down the road. It's pulling really low amps (as LED's do) so I tied it into my 24V fridge plug harness. I used the ARB fridge load tester to verify I didn't have too much voltage drop when the light was on, as I had hoped it was a very minimal drop and the fridge will be just fine.

Last project for the day was CB install pre CM next week. I mounted the Cobra 75WXST control unit behind the glove box. It worked out really nicely on Project LXXIV and it makes for a quick install. The antenna was mounted using a Wilson NMO hood mount and antenna. While hooking up the CB to the battery I found that my "jumper" cable was pretty nasty, more specifically the ends were really chewed up. I built a new 2/0 cable with mil-spec ends to prevent that from ever becoming an issue.
New floormats too (thanks Beno!)
And now it's time to start loading up for Cruise Moab:

I took a happy snap that's about it
Christmas in May.
The new washer fluid reservoir won't fit due to the intercooler plumbing, so had to use the old one from my parted out bj70.
What did I do on my 70 series.... went away for a four day 4wding trip, ripped off both left hand side flares and dented the left hand door, all on some unseen obstacle in a long mud hole. I H8 mud!.
Managed to recover the flares at least, although they'll need a fair amount of repair work.

What is the size?
Nice rims!
Starks or Autobox should be able to help....

Please post pics when you get them on.
Hi, i want to buy the same floormat too from ebay, can you post photo floormat of driver side ? thanks
New temp gauge and 2nd hand snork...diggin the gauge
The gauge says evo so I reckon I got a extra 15 kw after the install
The fan in the hj75 only had the two fast speeds working so pulled the resistor and the middle coil had overheated and broke. I had a good 60 series resistor so decided to rebuild the hj75 with the 60 coils. The coils are a lot thicker but It works well on all four speeds.

Oz,
The resistor coils don't get hot enough to melt the solder?
