It was pouring rain all day Friday and Saturday. So we decided the best way to cure the rainy day blues was to get milkshakes. (Ice cream and a trip in the LC makes everything better) We got photo bombed by a Lamborghini. My sidekick thought it was hilarious when I told him to show me his mean face.
Thank you.
The rear windows are factory tinted with another layer of tint film on top.

Delta makes it. I just happen to be the second person to get one.
What percentage did you go with all the way around? I really want to tint the windows in my LC to help combat some of the heat/sun here in AZ.

Its cracked all the way around rim, where there was a rdige is now gone. swapped it out anyway.
Thanks! I like it but it’s not on their website yet.
The fronts are 20%. The rears I purchased as is. For you, have the fronts tinted, then have them match the rears to the front. You will end up using lighter film on the rear to have a matching effect. If that is what you are after.
It will not be a perfect match because of the factory bronze though... But, pretty damn close.

it will be this week
Replaced 75% of my shocks. Keeping it stock with OEM. I’ve given up on the left front. I’ll have my local Land Cruiser shop take care of that one.

I took advantage of the Cowboys being on bye and got a couple of things done on this beautiful Sunday in northeast Texas.
The first was battery cable upgrades. I bought the kit from Hudd Expo as well as the military-style terminals. Got rid of this....
I also moved my ScanGuage from the steering column to the Wits End mirror mount. I took the back cover off of the ScanGauge and drilled a 1/4” hole to accept a 1/4-20 button head cap screw that went into a RAM ball (HD only had 3/4” long screws, so I stacked some washers for the time being). I then used a short RAM arm to another RAM ball coming off the mirror arm. There’s a lot going on around the mirror, but at least it’s all in one spot now. It does make the driver side visor unusable for the time being. I’m going to modify it. Also is not all wired up yet as I need to get an ethernet coupler and make a jumper cable to make it up to the mirror from the driver’s footwell.

Replaced glow plugs on the 80. Old ones died after only a year. Fresh ones do the trick.

Nice fall day here at the shop.

Got my new Fjallasport Fender Flares painted to match truck colour.
I have tried my impact gun, strap wrench, channel lock pliers, Dremel cutting wheel, a nut splitter, etc but still can’t get the nut off the top of the shock. I’ve chewed the nut up far worse than what is in this photo. This was after some early attempts.
Knipex cobra in large will remove it. Basically a baller pair of channel locks. I suggest a set of 3 sizes. Worth their weight in gold. Just dont get the aligators, ONLY cobra.
Use a sawsall or cut off disk on a grinder to cut the chrome shank of the shock underneath the shock mount above the tire where you have more room.
