Installed a new OEM front bumper, did some rattle can touch up, gave her a nice bath, took a few pictures in her natural environment
very nice.
No pictures and not the weekend, my sunroof is sitting cockeyed in the closed position (left (drivers) rear corner to be exact) So I went and got some Gorilla rubber sealant tape and sealed up the gaps around the sunroof. Eventually, I plan on fixing the sunroof but I do not feel like pulling the headliner out on my only day off this week.
The original driver's door handle finally met it's demise this last week. Thanks to @Tools R Us I was able to replace it. Since owning the LC the map pocket on the door was loose so I stole one of the many screws from the backside of the door panel and fixed the loose map pocket too.
While up there I noticed that there was a black trim piece on the roof gutter on the passenger's side. Upon further inspection, I realized the driver's side was missing so I removed the trim piece on the passenger's side. I was worried I would find some rust but being an AZ car all I found was some dirt and grime.

That troopy looks familiar to me - was it bought from a guy up in Flagstaff?
Nope came from Saudi Arabia and I picked it up in Las Angles last summer
Little upgrade to the underside of the sequoia

Changed the engine oil and filter, replaced fuel filter. Replaced D-pillar vents and new gaskets. The @TRAIL TAILOR vents are excellent fit and finish.
Adjusted fog lights and rewired replacement broken light. Adjusted beams and went for a good drive.

Got stuck in a mud puddle today. My winch failed and I had some help from the other side. And there's a Max Trac stuck in there somewhere still

I did some routine checks and maintenance on the 80 today. Drained and refilled front diff fluid and checked torque specs on lower knuckle studs. A couple things I always keep an eye on.
Installed Delta panhard relocation bracket as well.
Before and after pictures. Test drive next.

Too bad you didn't have the HF Badlands winch....yes, trolling.
Painted the windshield latches pewter, installed aftermarket side mirrors, two new window regulators from Australia ( even with $80 in shipping cost they were cheaper than sourcing in the US! )
Did a quick non-specification paint job on the roof to break up the mono chromatic scheme
And took her for her first trip to the gas station

That was always the plan elk hunting. Lucky I never needed to use that option.

There was a ice fishing trip to Big Lake back in the day being stuck and having to wait for the spring thaw..
Lucky it's Arizona, and only had to spend 2 nights.
