I landed a really sweet deal on Craig's List...
4x Tundra 18" wheels with tires, absolutely mint condition, for $225, and the dude brought it to my house too because i was too busy working on my other car.
I'm just waiting for a set of 275/70/18 KO2s to pop up on Craig's list and slap them on.

Replaced the entire heater box assembly.
PO did not do maintenance... This was a mild PITA, and I used no beer.
Oh... And it cost $800

Serious question (no serious, and don't call me Shirley). What type of maintenance? What went wrong? B/c . . . well, you know, I'm always looking for more PM.
ouch...
Upper control arms, lower ball joints, both front axles, both front wheel bearings, and both outer tie rod ends. That should about do the trick for awhile.

Got new wheels and new 275/70/18 KO2s put on. New wheels really modernize the look. Still have to figure out what to do about the front hub caps though... :/
The platform system has been on "work" duty for a while and today was no exception. Post-move box drop-off load up.

Bought some 6.5's 4 ohms kicker speakers. 4 total. 2 for front and 2 for rear. Will probably get to it next week. Glad to read it takes about 3 hrs to do for both
I have a front runner tent... Light for the most part at 90 lbs. I can muscle that up but had a friend helping out today. The other option would be to use two cushions from the outside patio seats leaned against the body of the rig with the tent against it and just push it up. It would definitely be a harder task working with a heavy tent. I can take off my tent in less than 10 minutes
I bought Kicker CS speakers at Best Buy. Half price, 2 pair for $75.
Crutchfield has them for $69, went to the local shop and they beat their price at $65 per pair. Picked up the last sets.
You can use a 2" hole saw and cut a circle where the hub sticks out...
What do think of that look? Maybe paint the knub to match the color of the hubcap and it'll look clean.

Previous owner had not changed the engine coolant in probably 15 years. Or they just used water. Lots of rust developed and destroyed both heater cores, and one of the air mixer servo's. Consequently, I am changing out the entire coolant system
Do you have any more pictures from the process?
Getting the 18's on, it raised the truck by like an inch, and it looks good too.
You guys wouldn't believe what i had to do to get the original rims off, it was seized into the hub and even a sledge hammer couldn't budge it. So what i did was loosen the lugs a few turns, jacked the truck up, and dropped it. Then it became a little loose, then i basically got underneath and karate kicked it until it came out.

Ok, I'll look and see if the hole saw would do the trick. I also thought of cleaning up the hub and just painting it. I'm fine with the cruiser not looking show quality so just some color matching would make me happy.
If that's the belt that was on there keep turning until all three hash marks line up. While you're in there replace your serp idler pulley, fan bracket and serp tensioner
installed a set of those surface mount led lights into the factory rear bumper. hooked them up to the reverse lights for more light when backing up at night.
Over the last few weeks. Flushed the AHC, removed the running boards, put on slee sliders and went off-roading at Hidden falls outside of Austin!
Surprised the Jeep crew!
