Did an A/C Overhaul with a friend of my Dad, who is a mechanic, after finding a leak in the system. New Condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, etc. Blows nice and cold now with a fresh charge of R134a.
Made a new swaybar link, mounted the swaybar with new poly bushings from SOR, mounted a few used bump stops (my truck did not have any when I bought it a few years ago), installed a new radio, and finished painting my 4Runner wheels. Spacers will be coming for them in the next few days and I'll be getting new tires for them next weekend.

I know it's hard, but we drive from the right side of the vehicle 
And you guys sit on the wrong side

So is that your right, or my right?
Got the first Shock hoop installed on my SOA project. Drivers side the PS box made this a bit of a challenge

I gave the old girl a full respray in Toyota 148 Silver - in my shed. What a mongrel job! Now onto sanding, buffing and polishing to see how shiny I gan get it. No runs, but somehow a few water dots on the bonnet (only where it would be noticed the most...)

Pictures please? Hopefully it turned out better then my garage paint job (which was s***ty)
I just drove it 662 kilometers along French Riviera 
Got bored sanding, buffing, polishing... So I stripped out the interior and high pressure washed the disgraceful carpets and hung them out to dry (with felt lining attached - might take a while), black duck seat covers off to clean, vacuum interior - found $2.85, so the car has only cost $497.15.... Will get some photos sorted when I work out how to get them from iPhone to mud...
Couple of photos from last few days - hopefully..
Whoops. Well done thofell in a hole
Finally got tired of my old thrashed panels and fabbed some ABS cargo panels. Followed BritKLRs lead on the fasteners as seen in this thread: http://www.expeditionportal.com/for...ompany-s-1987-FJ60-quot-Rhino-Ride-quot/page3. Painted with Krylon Fusion paint.
Very happy with the results. Considering doing the door cards to match but their still in really great shape so I'll probably wait a bit.

The plan is to install the new Pioneer X6600-BT. But I still need new speakers. And if I"m gonna put in new speakers I really should replace the door panels at the same time. . . We'll see what happens.
Cruiser Yard rear hatch lift rods on order and might come in today.
New tie rod ends on order from CCOT after finally getting my cousin to turn the wheel while I watched.
The lot of 'em look like bobble heads. Might explain the slight cupping on the front tires.
