Started to install the DBA 4x4 T3 rotors and EBC Yellow/Green pads and then decided I didn't want to take all this crap off again whenever I get around to doing gears and lockers. So I gave Just Differentials a call and I have two 3rd members with 5.29s and ARB lockers on the way and should hopefully be here early next week. I also ordered a set of Longfields, you know, since I'm already going to be in there.

El-cheapo Bulldog keyless entry install. Easy tap in installation & works great.

When u say "tap in installation" do you mean plug and play? or did you actually have to tap into wires. I need to look at my system but I am thinking of just swaooing out instead of troubleshooting (being lazy :p)

So what happened to the old pump?

nothing really .. since I was replacing my factory box ( Marilu it's over 400K km .. ) thought will be good idea do the same with the pump and fill all with new synthetic PS fluid.. ( AMSOIL )
 
Mid week and didn't even drive the cruiser this week yet......but got me a silver star on mud.:hillbilly:

Saved 20 bucks on the hood struts alone this week, that's just one of many purchases and things that saved me money, time and frustrations thanks to MUD.
 
installed the hand throttle in the LX (alarm system box and wiring in the way :mad:) - still need to adjust it properly, ran out of time
 
Slee'd.

I like your thinking...:grinpimp:
 
Window runs and hood struts

Replaced the front window runs. Driver's side window is still a little sluggish going up.
It wasn't as easy as pulling the new ones out and sliding the new ones in. I had to take the door apart so I could pull the new rubber down into the lower part of the tracks.

Not hard, but annoying. 1.5 hours per door.

Also replaced the front hood struts, man what a difference. Great piece of mind knowing the hood won't fall on me.

Glad she is OK. another cruiser sacrifices itself to save its occupants. A true sign of one of the best vehicles ever made.

that was my thinking as well. I definitely did not want to do that job for awhile. Well worth spending the money now and doing it all at once.

Glad she is ok. An all too familiar feeling right there ...




except that I flipped over, lol

Why are you going ot get a hundy and not another 80?
 
Glad she is ok. Cruiser died so a girl could live, I don't see anything wrong with that.
 
Threw on some new 315 at/ko's this morning and new powerstop rear rotors and ceramic pads. Rides so much smoother and quieter than the km2s I had on there. Makes the princess happier :) Earlier in the week popped in new OEM o2 sensors so my truck is riding and feeling new at the moment. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have time for cooling flush and phh... oh boy.

Definitely worth it :beer:
 
Practiced water crossings. -35C here last weekend followed by massive snowstorm followed by rain and warm weather. Streets around town cover in 3"++ of ice and that cover by water. All the drains are still frozen from the cold. Wife had to drive kids to school because puddles were too deep to wade through. Got to love having a LC with studded tires. :-)

Spending all my spare time searching rubber and sizes for this summer. Choices, choices, choices.
