I haven't touched it since you and I dropped the engine in, as you figured I'm sure. Probably be next year before we start it.

No need for the rivnuts. My landtank link crashed up into my frame when the stock bracket bent the first time wheeling. So I installed the LCP brackets and links and they bolt up to the factory mounting holes in the frame.

When I got my new head from toyota the first head I got had a crushed spark plug tube. They replaced it no questions.

Installed the new front diff with Yukon 4.88 and arb locker. Slee extended stainless steel lines, new oem calipers and rubber brake lines. Rear diff hopefully this weekend.
How did the slee extended lines fit. I’ve seen a lot of people reporting issues getting them connected back to the frame because the fittings are different. But these were all Crown lines. Not sure if the slee lines are the same.

No issues really, the only thing that took a minute was getting the passenger side axle fitting to start threading onto the little hard line but once it got started it threaded on like everything else. The slee supplied brackets are needed because the fitting is slightly thicker so if you try to re use the oem line bracket holder thing it is too lose.
Yes, the paint shop has a method of getting the paint slightly under the rubber on those parts and did not remove them. It seems they’re prone to break pretty easily. You can’t tell the glass wasn’t removed so I’m happy with it.

Installed some new-to-me door cards all around. New window regulators/motors from Cruiser Outfitters, added some sound deadening to the inside of the doors, new vapor barriers, new window seals along the inside of the door panels, and some One Stone armrests. Also added an Alpine Apple CarPlay compatible radio with a 45x4 piggyback amp, and a little powered subwoofer. Slowly knocking the ugly off the old 80!
Was the OneStone a pretty straightforward install?
Wow just found out that my ‘ol girl has had a history….but would have never noticed (inside or out) until I considered letting her go. How I actually acquired it is a bit of a story in itself. But seems she’s been poured out.
Ran her over 700 miles this weekend with over 60 miles of backcountry roads and she didn’t miss a beat. After 5 years of ownership I find it funny how this new information seems refreshing to me. I see a 4” lift in the foreseeable future and a whole lot more getting out there.
Yeah, not bad. Just redrill the one stone backing plate to move it out 13mm. They're made for a 70 series so they aren't a perfect fit but they're pretty close. I'll need to use some 3M tape once I figure out where they'll be positioned fore/aft. Right now I'm still fine tuning that part.
Where did you source the metal cogs?New metal seat gears on both sides
