Thanks again for the spare hands btw! Been putting on miles to make sure everything is good. My little brother lands at LAX Tues morning and we are on the 395 right after ;)

Sure you don't want to go? :P


Oh don't tempt me! I REALLY want to join you but wife wants to take a mini vaca next week sometimes and starting a new job the week after.....I know sucks.

No worries on the help part, wish I had more time but that's all I can muster with all of the things I need to take care of this week. Too bad we didn't get a chance to put your locker in before your trip though.
 
Started my " satoshi " grille ...... ordered up some 3/4 alum diamond patten mesh on ebay last week and a spare amazon grille along with a real old school toyota emblem i had left over from my 69 FJ45 ( so miss that truck)

cut out the center and am following Treeroots path for the most part.... this is for sure NOT an easy one.....

hope to have it finished tomorrow - letting the JB weld dry now....

Re-installed green condom bulbs in instrument cluster. Second set of flickering LED's in the trash.o_O
 
Finally installed the Blue Sea bus bar I bought back in November to clean up some wires.

Knocked out the shaky mirror fix which was a breeze!
Replaced Frankie's gen 1 rear springs with new OME 2.5" mediums (850's)

And the most important mod of them all...
I put a PINK LIBSTRONG fight leukemia sticker on my truck to honor my 3 yr old daughter who lost her 14 month battle with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Id love to send anyone who wants one, a sticker.

I certainly find joy in land cruisers and enjoyed many late nights in the Hospital reading up on them while she slept and I could not.

My condolences, I have a little one and half year old and that just really hit home for me. Can't imagine what you have gone through and can't imagine watching my little guy suffer and loosing him.

I'm down for a sticker.

Changed oil to Rotella T6 5W40. Running nicely. Oil filter was an exercise in patience (my first time).

Took the 80 on the beach last night with my dad for a couple of beers to celebrate father's day.

Now cleaning and de-oiling the bottom end to see if there are any leaks. Then oiling knuckles and shafts.
