@OEMGUY0720 agreed, i just asked my wife i need oil and she of course buys what she uses and the shop uses so i'm not going to complain.

Rear wiper - you mean wiper delete? Do they have such a kit? I have a Golf R and they sell a delete kit for that one, would be interesting to do that on this tank.
Not that I found, but if you remove the motor and arm there is a Honda plug that works. I did the rear wiper delete to mine using it. I’ll see if I can dig up the part number for the plug.
Found what I bought on eBay:

The only time I have had any visibility issues have been snow related or fogging. Obviously fogging is remedied easily, as is snow removal before travel, but honestly I drive my Cruiser to work and sometimes a quick run to town. We mostly drive our ‘16 4Runner due to the fuel mileage being better. It has the same 4WD as the Cruiser as well, so that’s a big plus.
 
Installed a Duracell AGM from Sam's as second battery in Slee tray using a Redarc charger. Used the Redarc 100 series charger bracket which places the charger behind the grille. I had to bend the bottom bolt hole on the bracket to make it line up with the hole on my 100. Oh, I also got 19mpg!

Icon Remotes for the rear. Internals for the front. Also ordered new vacuum lines, and trying to find out the availability of better lower and upper arms for the rear. Have a little thunk and can feel it on the back when slowly hitting a dip or drop.
 
Got my cruiser towed. Saddest day of my cruiser life...

We were wheelin' around in the snow. Got into a ditch doing a u-turn and when climbing out heard a god-awful snap, whine and clunk coming from front end area. 4-Lo but the CDL was off (I just forgot to turn it on, didn't need it for where we were so I guess I just never thought about it). Truck wouldn't move, just whine, spin and clunk noises. Turned on CDL and climbed the rest of the way out of the ditch. Limped back to camp with a clunk/chunk noise every few rotations then limped to gas station (about 3-4 miles from camp area) with the noise getting louder.

Plan to dig into it this week. Fingers crossed it's only a shaft or splines but the noise pattern makes me think it's the diff. I've been reading up on front diff threads but any suggestions on the order of teardown to find the issue?

Cheers,

It happened to me in a snow bank, too, and sounded exactly as you described. I went with Nitro Gears and ARB airlocker (since it gave me on board air). I had @cruiseroutfit rebuild the diff. I did everything else. A few tools and one other person when reinstalling (my daughter helped route the breather).

Such a good size for the stock 16" wheel, you can always add a 1" spacer if you want a bit less offset.
thank you for the appreciation. Don't know why, i am always against the spacers. it gives me a sense of insecurity :) that's me. no offense to anyone.
 
This week a snorkel, new steel wheels with a o offset, window draft reducing things, black side indicators, new DAB aerial and fitted the dash cam.

Trimmed the arch liner and front of the bumper lip to accommodate the wider stance and generally turning it into my truck and not the PO.

Got rid of rattles in the b-pillars, lost the gas pedal squeak and got rid of the dreaded sun visor creak. Simple love.
Could you explain how you 'lost the gas pedal squeak' ? I have the same issue and although extremely minor, its driving me nuts. Hoping there is an easy fix, my WD40 shot didn't seem to make any difference...
 
Had some vibration while accelerating... Took a spin without the front prop shaft. Vibration gone, so I changed out the u-joints. Problem solved. The rear shaft will get some attention this weekend probably. They looked original. 245k on the clock, how many miles do they typically last?

Did you notice reduced wind noise from the window draft reducing things?
