Builds What did you do to your Land Cruiser/Toyota/Lexus 4X4 this week?

[lcgeek]

I'm glad you found someone to go with. I hope it goes well. Looks like good prep so far.

I am anxiously awaiting to see how good the decision actually was

Could this be ground zero for an upgrade?

Shh...it's her mother's day present
Well I got it buttoned today, still need to wire the lights. Weather pack connections are not the same so I will have to order some. Anyway it's the TJM T13.

That doesn't look stocker friendly, is that in Verde valley?

Yes, in the Verde. You needed lockers (with an S) and armor.

It was yesterday. I'm sure it was the same group. We had the place to ourselves.

Neither one of the fog lights worked on the 100. The passenger side was clearly burned out.

So I swapped the housing out with a new one. Thanks @Abigail !

Driver's side still didn't work and housing looked fine. Checked the bulb in the passenger side unit and the bulb was good. So I checked the wiring and it wasn't getting good voltage. The bulb harness was "spliced" by twisting the stripped wires and wrapping in electrical tape. I'm assuming this was from a body shop that repaired a minor front fender bender on that side. I fixed the splice with some crimps and heat shrink. Plugged in the bulb and everything worked great. So I finally have fog lights.

Slow weekend. Still waiting for my 80 to go through a complete respray and figured I needed to freshen the grill as well.





Closest color I could find to the grill


New emblem too



Also maybe bought this

@lcgeek Nice Pic up!! Story behind it, details? Since many of your buying scenario's are great stories.

Added these to the front seats of the 200. For 30 bucks, it's unequivocally, IMO, best thing going for quick seat protection. After using, i'd easily pay double. Fit is amazing and doesn't slip around at all.

Left Sam the wonder dog at home and took the wife camping and wheeling on the Hassayampa River.

Tested the ARB awning room, the room goes up super easy and fast. The take down was just as easy and stored in the original without any issue. All in all its nice and was wife approved but does not work with my set up do to the limited and difficult access to the Flip up windows and second row door access. So if anyone is interested in an ARB awning room used once let me know.
