New heater tee hoses and clamps…

And, I upgraded to OEM factory brass heater tees. These were standard on the Mega Cruiser. Should never have to replace heater tees again.

$84 delivered from IMPEX Japan.

That's a legitimately good deal.
 
Was super surprised how well this water spot remover worked on my side mirrors and sun roof. I’ve been struggling with these marks for years and finally got them out looking almost brand new in 15 minutes with minimal effort.

When it’s loaded up, I’d imagine that the tailgate becomes quite a handful due to the added weight of recovery gear and spares…
Not something kids can operate safely.

Anyone make a higher tension torsion spring to offset the added weight?
other than an aluminum receiver shackle mount I’m limiting it to only lightweight items for that reason.

Damn. all that for at that price?! hella deal
 
on a 1-10 scale how hard was this DIY?
Maybe a 6. Just awkward getting to the bolts. I used a long flex head ratcheting wrench on the top nuts through the wheel wells and had enough space between ahc stuff to get them off. Did one side at a time.
Rear bolt and nuts on the back are easy from bottom. Got the driver front from bottom, passenger front from top.
 
Dropped $1500 on her yesterday. Timing belt, associated pulleys in there, acc tensioner, and the leaky oil filter housing oring. Good to go for another 100k on big stuff hopefully. The belt looked damn near new.
$1500 for the piece of mind over that distance and length of time is worth it and actually a great deal.
