Put a nice bend in the relay rod at Wheeltober Fest..Looking at Bud Built or Slee for a new one.

Installed a "knockoff" snorkle. What a PITA. Oh well, maybe I'll be able to pull some chicks in the 80 now.

How big are these chicks you need to 'pull' them in the Landcruiser? :P
 
didnt you hear?....chicks dig the chrome snorkles....good luck polishing that one......
 
Drove her to work all weekend, filled her up with gas and misplaced my paycheck in doing so! Got a parts list and to do list put together for mods and birf rebuild.
Ordered my new welder and tig attachment...should be here by Thanksgiving

Sent from my DROID X2 using IH8MUD
 
Picked it up from the mechanic. Drove it down to the DMV and traded inspection certificates for plates and tags. Applied said plates and tags.

Bought a folding trailer to pull with it from harbor freight. Dude at HF nervously asked whether i brought a truck. I assured him that i am 100% certain that i could bring home those two boxes in my GTI, but yes, i brought a truck.

Raided my parents' garage for lumber. Brought home a full sheet of OSB and several short lengths of 2x4 in it.

Bought a bucket of mistinted paint for the deck and sides at the habitat store.

Took out the driver's seat and started drilling out the seat rails before i realized that the landtank brackets are for power seats and i have manual seats. Put the seat back together and i hope that the partially drilled out rivet and spot weld don't bust on me before i have some other solution together. For once I'm glad i dulled a drill bit by forgetting to use a good cutting oil.

Built trailer, cut sheet of OSB in half and got layer of pale green paint on it before it started raining.
 
Finally made some progress on getting the fender flare holes smoothed. I think this fender is ready to go. Bondo, Bondo and more bondo! Good thing roll-on liner is forgiving :flipoff2:

Finished building the bumper Saturday morning and then installed an OME heavy/med 2.5 lift. Dropped it off for tires this a.m. and picked it up at noon. So it didn't all happen this weekend, but it was close.

Tires are 305 Duratracs (wide 33"). I justified the 305's over 285's because I'm surrounded by sand. And they were actually cheaper.

I'm liking how it's turning out.
