Renewed and updated the 2 heavy LPG tanks at the back under the cabin (instead for the gastank), added new shocks around and leveled it out with the springs.
Decided to really try and get my money outta Joey’s ‘useless cubby insert’, after my great Switch-pro’s install, so I added a RAM mount configuration to hold my iPad 4 mini that I use for navigation.
Pulled the dealer installed alarm. Was malfunctioning and enabling the kill switch on the ignition intermittently. Haven't used the remote in years so rather not be stranded by it again. My ride had the far less common Rostra system under the dash.
After waiting forever for me to get the time, my daughter and I finally got some much needed maintenance done on her 80. Tie rods, 4 rotors, pads, right front axle seal.
That’s an awesome build! Looks almost OEM it’s so clean. Is there a build thread / mods list somewhere? Love the wheels, roof rack, and blacked out trim...

Wife and I drove the 80 over to Arches NP hiked up to delicate arch then drove over to Canyonlands Grandview. Just a day trip no wheeling. Did recognize a 80 I’ve seen here, green bedliner sprayed monster.

I see you're making use of the Wit's End useless cubby insert. Would you mind telling me how you keep your iPad mount from sagging down/unthreading from the mount?
Oil change, transfer case oil change, emptied coalascent filter, topped off oil in my York compressor, washed the road grime off it, installed the RTT, set up a new air hose, and installed a new brake booster from @arcteryx
My oem booster made it to 360k miles before going out. At the time there were two options. New from Toyota, which was around $800 iirc, and there were remans from local parts stores for $200-250ish. In the past 55k miles, I’ve swapped out 5 or 6 remain ones from orielleys due to failures or inconsistent feelings.
New booster feels exactly like it should and gets progressively harder as the pedal is pushed down unlike just about every reman booster I’ve had. Very happy and ready for Utah and Colorado next week.
In the future you can use the bar of a hi-lift (if you have one) and some basic tools to sleeve the bent rod. I ran mine that way for longer than I'd like to admit.
