Swapped the OME lift springs and shocks from the doner rig I picked up, and swapped the ARB bumper and the WARN winch as well. Refurb'd some old alloys I had, and mounted a set of35x12.50s on them. Really like the way it looks, and rides great too. About two hours after I was all done I got a call from my buddy who'd gotten his F250 stuck in his field, so we got to go do the LC's first recovery. Good times.

fixed last weeks damage....

Plasti-dipped the wheels
Built the rear storage, finally!
Took a trip through Southern Colorado to see some sights

I like the No Access "carpool" sticker on the rear corner bumper @jcardona1 . Where did you get it?

Thanks! Got it on eBay a while back. Tried to get another one but didn't find them for sale anymore and the seller that I got it from vanished. I should have bought more!

had a big truck drop this off at the house....

One of the best RTT i have seen, Nice acquisition!

3" 409SS with some mandrel bends, and stainless v-band clamps

 

[IanB]

Where'd you get the 3" SS exhaust from? Does it include a downpipe?

 

[Douglas S]

It all came from Mandrel Bending Solutions, shipped to Noonan, ND and picked up by a friend of mine.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do down-pipe wise. An outfit in B.C. made a really nice v-band dump for a member on here, but it's quite expensive. Really, all the options for that are expensive. I'll probably just build off the factory dump for now.

Changed PHH, installed belt for a/c (old one had broke before I bought it but now she's blowing ice cold again), and washed (needs wax bad). Have pads and rotors but waiting on calipers.

Put in some new alternator brushes. Did it with the alt. still on the truck. Not too bad. I was planning on rebuilding my PS at the same time but the High pressure line was stuck on the banjo bolt. So I bolted it back on and will order a new high press. line then get back to that project. The HP hose was leaking at another fitting so that helped makes my decision. I will likely have to cut off the old one when the time comes.

Centered the steering wheel after the lift. Dang easy and quick wasn't for one of the TRE was stuck really good, but it turned enough. Also tighten the steering adjust screw about 1/2 a turn. Nice and tight, no more play in the steering.

Finally got the stereo installed ( or most of it) after much debating and research - thanks to all who shared.

I end up deciding to do a Nav unit - got a good deal on the new Kenwood Excelon 691 and matched it with a 5 Channel Excelon amp .

Speakers were tougher but after several test fits I decided on the Rockford Fosgate T165s components fro the fron and mounted the tweeter up mi of the A pillar (still need to find a good "pod" to get it angled better....) and then filled the rears with Punch 6.75 2-way rears......

I'm planning for the 10" sub mount so the 5th channel with drive that..... still debating using the headunti to power some 4 inchers in the dash as filler - but worried about them messing with the sound stage

along the way I fat-matted the whole dang trcuk - 3 layers on the doors and 2 layer over all the flat surfaces along with a 1/4 foam dampener matt across it..... can't wait to get the rest of the interior back in to hear how it sounds but have some wiring of stuff for the center console to wrap up first.

Wired up my custom USB outlet...

Opened up my LandcruiserPhil rock rails box. They will have to wait till the 80 gets back home. Should lighten the load a bit after the 6bt swap by replacing the MT sliders.

Power windows without key mod and magnets to hold up sagging visor (last week).

Checked bottle jack and found it rusted up. Sliding windows leak. It's welded up so don't think I can rebuild. Ideas?

Finally got my diffs put back in after having 5.29's installed. What took me so long! It is a brand new vehicle with the new gears. Moab will be a lot different this year!

^^^^^X2. Just got mine done last week. Amazing difference. Like a whole new truck. Can't wait to wheel it.
