I wish it were that straightforward. Shocks are only a few months old. Springs only 3 years, but I don't wheel it too hard, mostly just beat up, rutted dirt roads. Heavy-duty springs should last longer than 3yrs/25,000km, right?

You didn't seem to think so while denting my couch
BTW, my wife made a funny. She asked if I thought the blanket was pregnant or if she should just put it away. Hagagahagagsfahaga!
I was going to ship back your sleeping bag but I figure there would be a custody case...
Boulder Alley on Coyote Canyon in Anza Borrego. FZJ80's drivers front window stopped working and rear PS taillight malfunctioning.

One day home with the truck and I thought I was going to smash the alarm with a sledgehammer! 25 minutes later and she's gone!
Fixed my p0401 with an EGR modulator, some vacuum hose, and cleaning the throttle body to EGR port. Then took my boy on his first ferry ride. I even let him drive it onto the boat...
(No, I really didn't. He was safely strapped in his DOT approved rear facing child seat until the engine was off and The wheels were chocked... Though he thought he was driving!!)

Pulled the clamshell on the 93 while tearing out the alarm. It was rattling and Gerry rigged in place by the PO. Put epoxy on it and will let it sit overnight. Same thing happened on my 92. Fixed it this way about 5 years ago. I have a new clamshell in case it doesn't.

Did the pin 7 mod and added a CDL switch. Was hoping that being able to manually activate the center diff would trigger my front and rear lockers but it didn't. Need to do more research and diagnosing. Still just flashing red lights.
Try figure 8's as tight as you can on loose surface
Installed universal arm rest + some cup holders.
What a difference the arm rest makes!

How long did you have to wait for that?

Tried that for a half hour tonight. I'm not getting CDL light or ABS light. Gotta be the switch.
My attempt to repair my eyebrow was an epic fail. The smooth ABS plastic simply won't allow epoxy to adhere to it with the strength necessary. meh. I'll simply glue it along the edges with adhesive/sealant and see if that works.
On Friday, I applied copious amounts of silicone grease to the seal rubber around the sliding windows, and this morning the seals were transformed from rigid, immobile hard things into supple, easy to shift soft things. I can now see how the windows can be easily removed and reinstalled. I guess I didn't expect such a dramatic transformation in such a short time, just by applying silicone grease to it.
I also noticed this:
I greased it up really good and ran a dental pick along it and popped it out over the body flange. The windows now slide easily, and hopefully do a better job of sealing.
Next step, if this fails to solve the leaking problem, I will remove the seals, apply some sealant/adhesive, and reinstall.

This just happened:
I recently acquired some similar damage due to poor spotting of a new friend/stranger at a newer off road park while on a road trip.
The plastic seems similar to the fairing plastic on my 1993 Honda ST100 motorcycle. According to many of the old timers from the forum I belong to for my ST, mixing a little baking soda with super glue and a generous bead on the back side covered with baking soda works well. I won't be able to address mine for a couple weeks but I will post up if it works.

Share some details please. Thank you.
Or just smear it with RTV and slap it back on.
