Removed the stanky carpet from the most recently acquired FJZ. Sunroof drain had be clogged for some time. Jerked the rear heater out and listed on eBay.

Does it increase road noise?

Rebuilt the e-brake, new rotors and pads on the rear, new front tie-rod to replace my trail modded one I've been rocking for over a year.

camping with the kiddo...good times were had by all

saw a nicely built 100 series drive through the campground too

I vacuumed the entire interior and treated all leather and plastic.
I wiped down all the door jambs and everywhere else.

Also tried out Corrosion X HD on the entire frame and undercarriage area on a reference from another thread and MUD member and that stuff is neat.

We'll see how long it lasts holding off the dirt and water. Supposedly at best lasts up to a year.

Added 20hp and 5mpg.

SHould have gotten the bigger one, mine is good for 40HP and 10MPG! Thanks Woody!

Spray painted my wheels again! Wasn't feeling the silver after doing the Monstaliner. Color is Rustoleum 'Metallic Antique Brass'.

After, still have the driver's side to do

Shock protectors:

Figure every little bit helps when you don"t want to lift- sure as anything stuff's gonna drag...

Damn those are actually a real good idea for the rear! I swapped out shocks last week and the bolts holding the axle end of the shock on in the rear were smashed to death.

Yep, great idea - I wonder how they thought of it:

Installed new Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks all the way around - wow, what an improvement! I think the ones I took off were original, meaning 20+ years & 144k miles old.

Took off the rusty, clapped-out running boards and the truck looks so much better - and taller. Trying to source front flaps now (keeping the flares).

Also installed Pioneer speakers in the rear doors but ran out of time/patience to also do the front doors. That'll be another week or so.

Slightly upsized tires (285/75/16) to be coming soon before the snows hit in another month or so, and the ski rack will be back up on top!

Ran Whipsaw for the first time in the 80 - couldn't believe how smoothly it ran over the trail.
