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

Installed a TRD exhaust on my FJ this weekend

Slightly before the above, I swapped the elocked axles from my blue 95 to the 93. I completely rebuilt these axles about 5 years ago, so they were still in great shape - just replaced all of the seals, grease and fluids while I had them apart, as well as power stop front rotors, new pads, extended brake lines and an OME medium lift. 2nd to last pic is the truck pre-lockers, last pic is how it sits now on 315/75/16 st maxx's. This one will be for sale soon.

And finally.... With all of those projects out of the way, I built a dolly for my LX project to move it to the other side of my garage. This week will be focusing on building shelving and making use of space in the garage since its too hot to work outside.

Checked my brake wear on the Taco while rotating tires. Odd that the driver's side shoes & pads are ~1 MM thinner than the passenger side. Each pad on each front wheel have even wear, as do the rear shoes, but they definitely wear more on the driver side.

Man vs Gato,

Not to be immodest about our great state, but last weekend reminded me that... I'll be damned if we don't have some of the finest dirt road touring anywhere right here in our backyard.

Drove 55 miles and reached 6800' for a cooler setting to paint the roof of my Campteq. Side stepped the rain ya! and decided to stay the night.

I love my level app

Nice

It looked like it was white, but wasn't sure if that was a trick of the light on the aluminum.

@TexAZ hooked me up with some special insulation paint. Amazing the difference it made for him. It looks cooler.

I was wondering if that was what you used. I remember him posting about that

I literally just ordered a Levelmate 2. Now I need to find your install thread and start sleeping level!

By luck I mounted where it is and it turned out to an excellent spot. I found out the hard way you want to turn it off when not using.

Good point. The new 2.0 model has an on/off switch.
