How hard is that? Mine are really dim, and the hazard switch light is burned out.

Not hard at all. Worse part is taking the center dash out and unplugging the harnesses. And I have aux switches that I thought I gave myself more slack with the wires than I actually did, which made it a bit more annoying than it should.

And I just took it out for a drive and realized that my hazard switch is also burned out, and so is the backlight on my shifter, oh well…
 
Sprayed dry lube on my steering shaft. When it gets cold the bushing makes a loud howling noise when turning the wheel. The last time I lubed the shaft was two years ago.

Drove it and washed it! :bounce::clap: Meh you say? It is the first time in over 4 YEARS it moved or was clean! I tore it apart Thanksgiving of 2020 thinking I was slowing down and had at least 6 months to work on it. Nope, the lord has a sense of humor and told me to get to work on our business, forget about fun. So, for the last 3.5 years, I wrenched on her when I could and finally, with a little help from @peacesells63 got her up and running. Still have to sort some things out before I can do anything serious with her, but it is so nice to have her stretch her legs a bit! Will post up another thread soon on what work was undertaken during the refit.

Looks super clean !!
 
Productive weekend on my 80, after I’ve been giving all time it seems to my lx470.
Replaced the rear output shaft seal on the h42, had a slow leak.
Re-painted my roof, previous owner had really done a number on it. Not prefect by any means but all one color and not various shades and peeling.
And finally pulled my gauges to fix the speedometer. Was bouncy, way off by about 10 mph or more, and would grind and make a racket when cold. Don’t know how to fix it so just dug in and got it removed then messed with it, I believe it was stuck and gummed up and unable to drop fully down to 0? Works now which is all that matters! Cheers from SC

Funny thing I was looking at the newer version of the other tires to replace old Yokohama tires. But a local Discount/America Tire had the KO3 in stock.

What size did you go with?

Im on 7yo Falken Wildpeak AT3s in 285 and looking at some KO3s in 315

You will love the KO3, I am running them on my 80 and love them. A big difference from the old Yokohama Geolandar, for a MT they were quite but not AT quite.
 
Got my Solve Function swaybar brackets installed finally. I don't know if anyone else gets anxious about having parts sitting on the shelf waiting to be installed for more than a week, but I do. I've had these for almost a month and have been feeling unusually anxious lately and couldn't figure out why. Installed these and my anxiety is gone! Car mods are the best kind of therapy.
These things are sweet! Makes my winter punished chassis look terrible. Good thing spring is right around the corner so I can get the undercarriage cleaned up again so it doesn't look like a homeless person wearing genuine Air Jordans.
