First LC Weekend

I picked up my first ever Land Cruiser (off another MUD member - 4Peanut) earlier this week, and have been extremely happy with it thus far!

Given that it was our first weekend together, there was a lot of little stuff on the list:
- Stocked with road goodies (flashlight, tools, bungees, rope, first aid, fire extinguisher, GHB etc.)
- Installed USA Spec PA15-TOY adapter (may reconsider 20 since I've read a few things since that it may be more preferred for my purposes)
- Changed oil (Mobil 1 Extended 5w30)
- Changed Spark Plugs
- Polished out a few scratches/scuffs
- Ordered bug shield
- Detailed inside/out

Ended up throwing a code - coil pack cord wasnt connected on #6 cyl. Easy fix after a quick panic attack.

Back together, and ready for timing belt, water pump, etc at the Toyota Stealership tomorrow. Figured since I saved myself about $400 thus far... trolling for stuff to throw on it next weekend now...

Every spark plug tells a story... I think these are saying "she's ready for another 125k!"

Impressive Rob. Any details on how you created that blank plate, I like the idea for location of switches.

Looks like the OEM filler panel, with switches mounted nice and clean.

You guys got it - that's the blank panel from Toyota. It's fits exactly those 3 Hella switches. I had the pocket in there but wasn't using it.

Purchased a set of drawers from a fellow mudder last weekend. I recovered everything in new carpet, bed lined the drawers and started planning out the hot water shower system. Forward of the drawers is a 19 gallon RV water tank in another cubby, you can just make out the outline in the pic.

Sweet switch setup Hellgate! How did you do the labeling?

Did the Morimoto projector retrofit into the stock '98 headlights yesterday. Much thanks to 2000UZJ's terrific megathread on this topic. The improvement is epic. Superb lights, and they're not quite perfectly aimed yet.
