Starting re-assembly of FST.
I generally replace critical weatherstripping and gaskets every time I remove and replace the FST. It’s the most important step that most people ignore. New gaskets and weatherstripping allow for new sealing interaction and prepare the vehicle for another FST season.
I take FST off every Memorial Day and reinstall every Labor Day (when in NY; all bets off out west).
“Rollbar” gaskets. LH/RH (smaller prefix number always indicates RH side of vehicle)

Some new cross bars for the FST.
How's the frame repair going?
Also, noticed PS belt was toast. New one went in.
All this work on your own cruiser... you're NEVER gonna lose all of the part numbers in your head.
Almost ready for FST.
Just waiting on some gaskets to arrive from Japan4x4 and I should be good to reinstall the FST.

No one else I would trust. He has always taken care of me. I don’t shop on price and he provides an invaluable service.
He's my main guy too.

Got a goodie box in the mail at lunch.
5 mins later the new VR is in and no more dash lights flashing on idle. I'm sure I'll need the alt brushes at some point. My heater controls were messed up. I can change the zones, but I can't change fresh/recirc and the heat control didn't work either because the bracket on the back is busted. This should solve that.

I have been on vacation for a week Land Cruising in Oregon and Idaho. This is a good way to start the week and get back in the groove.

Since locating replacement parts here in the PI can be a challenge; (especially electrical) I ordered a new Starter relay and a few others for spares. On the next trip to the US; I will bring them back with me.
Had Odd Iron Off Road start on a complete rebuild on my front axle as well as install an ARB air locker. 
Somewhat of a setback .....
