Finally installed my Fridge slide and ARB fridge after having it sit in the garage for a few months

Took my wife and our Lab puppy (at 10 months - a fairly big puppy) - to Yellowstone - then down to Victor Idaho for the eclipse. LC is perfect for this kind of trip - did 3600 miles driving all together - saw eagles, bears, bear cubs, bison, elk, moose and a wolf. Then the eclipse. The flat full windows of the 100 make it a very good touring car to view the landscape. Picture of eclipse attached.

Harvey helped me find a leak in my roof that's exposed an electrical short the week I leave for CO. What a thoughtful gesture :(
 
Got 30" light bar and 12k# Engo winch installed.

The 100 had 1 burned out low beam lamp so I swapped out lows/highs all around to avoid a color mismatch. It took me less than an hour to get both sides done - definitely a :banana: job. Thanks to the many threads that have covered the specific instructions on this in the past - that info made my life easy, saved me money, and proved once again how valuable these forums are.

For those that care, I swapped like for like on the bulbs - did not do anything fancy. Will look into HIR or HID once these bulbs need replacement.

Painted roof, that was pealing, with industrial paint from Benjamin Moore.

Used roller and brush. Up close, if you climb up to get up close, you see brush strokes. Wife says "looks better", so job is done!
Will spray rest of truck with same paint as I get motivated....probably in sections.
 
Specs on this?

I built it similar to this guy's shower:



4" ABS pipe and fittings, about 7 ft long, 2" cleanout, ABS cement, 1/2" quarter turn hose bibb, quick connect garden hose adapter, metal schrader valve, Napa 4.5" exhaust clamps and trick tabs for roof rack mounting. One note... the cleanout plug leaked air when pressurized, so I changed it to a Oatey rubber test plug and locking pin which work well up to 40 psi (scared to go higher). I got this coiled hose and this sprayer and they both work very well. Zero water leaks anywhere. About 4 hours in the sun on a 90-degree day was all it took to get the water to as hot as your kitchen sink on full hot.
 
Scratched mine the next day on a branch while trail riding, they touch up easy though.
+1 on the touch up. I wasn't sure how the trail use was going to hold up to the dip, but it did. Took it to Discount Tire for rotating the other day and that was harder on the finish than running the trails at HIH7. Touch up leveled out nicely.
 
At the dealership today getting the recall squared away. Last time I was at a Toyota dealership they told me I needed to replace my serpentine belt. Thing was, it had just been replaced less than a thousand miles before. So I asked them to show me what lead them to believe it needed to be replaced. Long story short I called out the service manager for bullshitting me and we left it at that. Funny thing is I got an email the next day offering to buy the truck. Not sure if that's a common occurrence with these trucks, but I thought it was odd because of how old it is. Anyways I found another Hundy when I was roaming the lot.

Same thing happens to me every time ... the sales side gets the data feed from service dept. They wanna sell me a new 200 every time ...

I may get a 200, but they can't have my 100 ...
 
Was on craigslist and scored this - Spanking brand new Total Chaos Fabrication Upper control arms for $350. Couldn't pass on this one. UCA's had been on my list of things to do and I'd been keen on the Nitro-gears but this was a deal worth giving a shot. Keen on what experience I'll get from them. Next project - install UCA's
