Installed new 2" Ironman lift on my 96 (almost done). Took the 97 40th down to south Jersey and wheeled a bit thru the Pine Barrens - sat and watched about 30 trucks mud bogging for a bit. Fun times.
 
Did the rear heater bypass.
 
Fixed my wobbly passenger side mirror and replaced the steering column seal. No more hot feet.:D
 
Removed old sidesteps. Getting ready for MTs sliders.
Sprayed rustoleum in hard to reach spots underneath.
cleaned oil and grease off in different spots around oilpan etc.
Removed 3rd row seats.

Yep like a boss, had to do it in a parking lot it was 97 here in wisco on sunday when we did it:l He went through 3 cups of water and a whole bottle of sunscreen!

Sent from my HTC EVO4G using IH8MUD
 
installed the 2 in ome lift (heavies) and got the wrong shocks for the rear. D'Oh! now it rides like a hyper kid on a trampoline.
 
Stripped down the back end to prepare for the 4x4 labs bumper build...

went offroad in Wa state

Took a chance and tried out the Liberty area south of Blewett pass. Best Idea ever! Trails were open and several groups were there running the trails. Best part was its only 15 minutes from the family cabin. I will be back soon.

This weekend with the assistance of my buddy Mattnatti, I took care of the CEL: 0325 (Knock Sensor #1), by installing a splice.

Nice to have that darn CEL off for the time being.

Great area to explore... especially with other Cruiser guys!

Drop me a PM if you ever feel like some 80 series company :cheers:
 
The 80 served as base camp for a great memorial day at the beach.
 
Finally installed some interior beautification / comfort stuff that I've been stockpiling.

OEM Cup Holder (from Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters)
Lexus Steering Wheel (eBay)
OEM Floor Mats (eBay from a Toyota Dealership)
Modded CB Radio (a la Slee's website) for a tighter fit
Air freshener (Target)

The wheel is from a 470 and requires some work. For those that are interested in doing this, I would recommend waiting to find one from an LS400.

Took a 280 mile round trip from home to Wolf River Resort and Marina on Dale Hollow Lake. I averaged around 15 mpg on this trip with the Cooper ST's, 255/85 16's. I ran close to 60mph the whole way down and back up US 127. This put me running right around 2000 RPM's for the biggest portion of the trip.

Some pretty good hills in there with some truck climbing lanes but a large part of the route is rolling only. From the Wolfe Creek dam on Lake Cumberland to Dale Hollow is pretty hilly and curvy.

Spent a hot weekend on the lake.

Built and installed a roof rack. 1/2 EMT for the rack, 2in strap and c-channel for the gutter mounts. Still need to mock up and make a fairing as it is a tad noisy at anything over 15mph. It actually makes more noise than the MTR Kevlars. :cool:

First camping trip after adding rear airlift airbags. What a difference!!! 11psi in both with a bunch of camping gear and it was stable as can be on crappy winding roads. It was a little scary before even unloaded.
