Rack looks really good! What do you figure you have in it for materials? I'm waiting on Victory 4x4 to send the black hardware they forgot to install mine that's... pretty much just like that. So I'm curious what you're into it for.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (60 Viewers)

A bit over $500. The side rails I had to buy around 6061 plate which was a bit over $200 the extrusions we're $225 the stainless black oxide hardware $60(rounding up) I'm looking at close to $600
Nicely done. Nothing like getting a similar output for less money and learning something at the same time. Besides- all this 4x4 stuff is hobby time, right? So cost of time and stuff doesn't play in much.
Keep at it, you will have her ready in no time!
Nutserts usually have a lot of meat left, just retap and reuse. For the wiring , look for the other side under that carpet. Use 12g wires to connect the two ends, carefully matching the wire colors, there are only a few wires IIRC.
A self soldering and sealing kit is inexpensive and makes short work of connecting wires together.

Yup definitely a hobby and I didn't consider the cost of me buying tools because you know a guys gotta have tools.Nicely done.

Definitely learned a lot and if there's ever a beer 2.0 I know it'll be so much better with the stuff I learned

Feeling cute……might delete later 
actually just removed OME 863’s installed Slee Heavy SOF2RH, gave it a few cranks on the torsion bars and got an alignment to prep for new tires. Shout out to the boys @ Tandem Offroad in Fort Worth, TX.

The nut cert ripped out of the body apparently as there is no more nut to screw into lol. The seats that I have are LC seats and the wiring is different between the two. I believe the LC seats are direct drive vs module controlled for the LX seats. They are just in there for now until I find some LX seats or another option. The wire splice kit looks sweet though might have to pick one up.
That looks great. I love those bumpers
Installed my passenger seat bottom last night and reinstalled in the rig this am.

Wow! Looking sexy again. Nice work.
Playing with wheel paint. I can’t decide if I want to go with gloss black, or gloss gunmetal. Pearl white LX470, 16” Land Cruiser rims. I’m not generally a fan of black rims, so thought some form of charcoal color would show some detail without looking like High School rattle can. Opinions?
Also, replaced my fob battery. Tiny little philips head screws, Energizer 1616 lithium battery and I'm back in business.

That's my vote
Gunmetal for sure. That'd look pretty great with pearl white.

Finally worked up the courage to hack my tailgate.

I didn't even have one, my sneaky 17 year old nephew cleared them all out the night before!
It wasn't that bad, it's a very straight forward process. It took longer to file down the edges than anything else.
I would like to have an aluminium option, even before loading it I can feel a weight difference (I kept the torsion bars intact). Installing riv-nuts would be a big improvement as well. If the latches were slightly recessed into the panel you wouldn't need to put those silly furniture sliders on the tailgate gap cover. I like the trunk carpet they use, I'd like to find more to put on top of my drawers.
Overall it's a great mod for the money spent. It will really help towards keeping my junk organized.

Those damn 17 years olds are slippery sometimes. That looks great. I think the carpet is a brand name marine-grade if memory serves. Maybe try checking out the local marina/ bass pro shop in your area for your drawers.
And then I only have 4 more rims to go. I’m not all that concerned with appearances, but my 16” rims are a little beat up. And if you’re going to dump endless money into a very old, it might as well look well-cared for. Thanks for the feedback.
My daughter’s Subaru wheels are going to get the same treatment, working on the theory that she'll care for it better if it looks nice. And her wheels are pretty hammered.
