Online, around $70 for the pair.

Unfortunately, Riverview is 38 miles from me and not on my way to anything:(

Oh okay. I found them online for about 28 apiece before shipping. Might try my hand at Riverview tomorrow.
 
Yesterday while pulling out of my parking spot I heard from grinding. So I parked the LC immediately and got a set of new brakes after work. This morning I did the rears and that is where my issue lied, the driver's side was almost to the metal.

One of the pistons on my jack failed so I can't lift any weight. So tomorrow after work I am going to use the forklift to raise the front end and do the front brakes.
 
Added some 1 inch spacers to the rear springs. Checked my brake pads in the rear and the passenger inside pad was at 2mm with uneven wear. The other pads were at 5mm. I had brake pads in hand already, with shims and the fit kit, so I went ahead and replaced all the pads in the rear.

Rotors were at 18mm, so they were fine.

Planning on adjusting the torsion bars tomorrow.
 
Finally got a chance to install the LCP Gullwing windows that I have had laying about for over a year. Great product Phil! Next items:

New 4x4 Labs front bumper and 12k winch (I have had those since October in the garage)
Dual battery box with washer relocation bottle
Puma mount (just ordered from Phil) and compressor.

I have a new carpet kit in the garage, along with leather, that I also need to get to but, want to wait until I don't have to use this rig as a daily driver so I can take my time. Looking for a GX 460 that I hope to pick up in the next month or so...
 
Watched Graham climb into my Black 100 with no running boards. Told him since he made it up, the Silver 100 was losing its running boards too. Installed the OME torsion bar brackets for cheap insurance, which ended up being an easier job than I thought. Also adjusted the torsion bars since I added the 1 inch rear spacers yesterday. That only took about 10 or 12 times to get the height just right.

What vehicle and wheels are you running?

305/65/18 on Tundras. Have the 5th wheel already. Don't need the same size tire exactly just as close to same height as possible. I think a 275/70 is close and is much thinner so would tuck up nice
 
Next on my list was to install the 4x4 labs front bump and winch. I like the bumper but mounting the winch to is was a total pain. He should have placed the two round holes outboard a an inch or two so you can get a wrench on the front bolts.

An impulse buy that popped up locally; I added a 97 40th to the family. I was without a Cruiser for 7 months. I tried to stay away, buuuut...

It already has a small lift and caster correction. It is a driver as is, but needs some special touches.

I already removed the running boards, and will assess the condition of the rear sleeping platform and drawers. Has a decent front winch bumper already. I'd love to find some flares for it. Needs new seat leather, antenna, bigger rubber, the usual. 236k

My first 80 ('92) was dubbed Coconino. The second 80 ('97) was Kaibab. Now what to name the 3rd. Hmmmm? Tonto was already taken (Tim and Kelsey) . So I'm open to other Forest name suggestions 😁
