Thanks for bringing that up. The colour is the factory LandCruiser colour (183) but with 1/3 of the 1st silver added to the mix and replaced with black. I wanted to darken the colour a bit.

Ran amp wires from battery, etc and from my in dash DVD to the rear seats for my 4 channel amp. Will run my sub amp later when I actually get a small sub and box. Hooked up the rear speakers (6.5s) and instead of running wire to the fronts I am going to use this method:
I also ran extra wire for when I hook up a rear camera and a headrest monitor. Wires wires everywhere!

Hey you know, once upon a time I winched your new rig off a big rock on the Barrett Lake trail? Nice photo.
I installed the ARB winch bumper.
Tips:
1. An engine hoist and a ratchet strap through the light tabs makes for the perfect vertical positioning jig and is far more reliable than the help of a teen son.
2. Wax the frame horns with beeswax to help the bumper sockets slide over
3. The Toyota M10 bolts from the original bumper are better than the ARB hardware. I used the ARB 12mm bolts elsewhere.
4. A deadblow, a few light taps from a sledgehammer, a block of wood, and some cardboard are needed to get the holes lined up "just so"
5. Instructions, like most ARB instruction sheets, could really benefit from illustrations.
Winch will happen down the road....

The bigger problem is these roof mounted antena's. Not sure what kind they are but now I have two 3/4" holes to patch.
Can you identify the type of antenna? I'm curious.

Replaced brake pads, adjusted e-brake, bled brake fluid ( very overdue, rear bleeders were rusted shut and I'm pretty sure that was used motor oil coming out
)
Brakes are so much better now.
Also replaced fusible link. and repaired an almost worn through wire on the O2 sensor from the po ziptying it to the rear heater line
No more CEL

I just wanted to drive my 80 around. I got two propane tanks in the trunk to fill them up and went the long way to the gas station, then to Pep Boys to dump some used motor oil for recycling.
That's an NMO antenna and mount. Used for HF/VHF/UHF radios. (Most likely a 2m/70cm ham radio).
If it's that short it's going to be for the higher frequency range. Looks like 800 MHZ range, likely for some kind of trunked system. You are correct on the mount though. If in decent shape they could be reused for a ham antenna. Also other than figuring out how to patch the holes they make caps to seal them off pretty well and leave a smaller bump without having to weld or some other kind of patch that might leak.
Stay tuned for the patch job. Air craft maintenance experience has paid off.
Got lifted.

Looks like an 800 mhz or possibly a 460 mhz business two way radio. . If I were you, I would have someone look at the coax cable, and the base ... if its in good shape, re-use, otherwise put in a new antenna base and get your ham license and a 2 meter ham radio. A 1/4 wave antenna will screw right on that base. re seal the antenna base in the hole... that is the best functional place you could put that antenna and you dont have to figure out what to do with an un-used hole.

Installed new Phillips 9011 HIR bulbs in the low beams. Left headlight is the 9011. Right is a 6month old Sylvania 9006. Second pic is not 9011. Huge difference.
I showed my wife. Her response was "Cool. Can you replace the outside lights on the garage too?!?!" Oops.

My wife and I picked up the 80 from storage in Baltimore and drove down to the Outer Banks. It was a short stay but the camping was beautiful (except for the 20+ mph winds flapping the tent around) and we got to drive on the beach. The trailer made that a little challenging but the Cruiser pushed through.
