After doing the shane's leather install to my front seats several months ago, i finally got around to starting with my middle row. Now my hands are cut up and swollen, and i remember why i put it off for so long!! At least these things look like a million bucks in the end.
I also met up with another cruiser buddy yesterday, and tackled the diffs and tcase gear oil. It might just be seat of our pants perception, but we both felt like our trucks drive a bit smoother now. If you haven't done this already, i would highly recommend. My buddy picked up synthetic gear oil from wally world for his at like $5 a quart, which means it's not even all that pricey a job. get the crush gaskets from beno.
Next week I plan to replace my steering shaft seal, per Landcruiserphil's write up. Mine is totally shot.

Ha! Totally valid question. Initially, I'd promised my buddy the seat covers right after I did the fronts. We went skiing that weekend, and as we were loading everything back up in the snow, with the new leather getting pelted, and both of us dirty, we kind of knowingly looked at each other, and he was like "you need to cover these seats". With ski season over, I'm going to take the covers off for a little while...until camping starts up!!Just curious...If you replaced your front seat leather already, why are you using seat covers. Seems like you'd want to enjoy them. Isn't that the point, or did you spend all that money so that future generations could enjoy your cruiser? BTW, they look great and I'm very jealous.![]()
How's that cooler working far you? I have been eyeballing those things every time I go to Costco.And lastly, DIY drawer slides for the Pelican cooler
