It sure looks like it isn’t. I’ll get that fixed this evening.

Got my steering wheel back from Craft Customs and got it put on.
I also swapped in a new transfer case shifter knob.

Drove it 700 miles to salt lake city and back to take a board exam and I also did a little shopping.
I zoomed right in so I could try and see the price of the 9mm ... but still blurry.
On second thought, I'm not sure I want to know.

I think it was $52.00 for the box of 100. More than I like. My local sportsmans warehouse and cal ranch both had 50 round boxes of browning 9mm for $19.99 a box last week.
It seems like the ammo situation is slowly improving in my neck of the woods.

Nice to see sanity is returning in some spots.
I've cut my 1000-round-a-month habit for now. The Cruiser has benefited from the savings.
Finished up the head gasket replacement last night. Start putting the lift on this weekend hopefully and welding up my rear bumper. Haven't heard anything on my NWTI front bumper yet but soon hopefully.
Finally resolved my exhaust whistle. Went round and round on a perfect solution, then decided to swing by a local shop. 60 mins and $100 later, the job was done using all the factory parts I cut off. Could not be happier. If anyone’s looking for a fantastic custom exhaust shop in SoCal, 3C in West Los Angeles exceeded my expectations.
This project has been ongoing for months due to limited free time but FINALLY completed my retrofit project, smoked the blinker lights and removed chrome with VHT Graphite (Thanks @Luke111 for the paint color rec and help with picking projectors). Now just need to install the grill and smoked ARB indicators.

Alright, today was take 2 on my fan clutch swap. The only way I was able to get those stubborn nuts out was with violence! And a chisel 
Now the new blue fan clutch from Land Tank is in, and I can feel the difference in the amount of air flow in the engine bay!
But now I created a new problem, the belts are squeaking, a lot!
Did I misaligned something when I did the install or did I just torque the nuts to the water pump too tight?
TIA

You might have not tightened them down enough. The squeaking sound could be them slipping.

A squeaking belt could mean there's now a greasy spot on the belt. Recently on my 5.7 serpentine belt, when I got one small greasy handprint on the rubber, it started squeaking bad. The only solution that worked was replacing the belt.Alright, today was take 2 on my fan clutch swap. The only way I was able to get those stubborn nuts out was with violence! And a chisel

Maybe you could try pulling the belts and cleaning them and the pullleys, worth a try.
Maybe a tensioner isn't engaged enough. I would mention Toyota belts but you said it started after you did the job so that's probably not the issue. However based upon my experience I had bad squeal and chatter when I tried using belts that were not Mr. T... I just bought a complete kit from Wits End for my next change.Alright, today was take 2 on my fan clutch swap. The only way I was able to get those stubborn nuts out was with violence! And a chisel
