Working on my Sunroof. Cleared the drains and scraped off years of old silicone fixes from the PO. I would not recomend sealing your leaking sunroof with silicone. Unless you never plan on using it again.

Perhaps I should make a graphic like this Land Rover LR3 owner. Ha!

 
Installed new cables on the tailgate. One of the old ones got some water in the rubber sleeve and rusted. It broke while I was sitting on it the other day.

Tomorrow I rotate the tires and inspect/clean.

I will also replace the sway bar bushings which have all but fallen off

AND to find the dang clunking Metal Tech link end that is making noise....
 
Had some problems with the clutch on my Warn VR12000 not wanting to disengage so I took it apart and was amazed at all of the water, mud, grass etc... that found its way inside of it. Cleaned it all up the best I could, regreased everything, painted the outside with hydrophobic paint (which is what the blueish stuff is), and sealed it up with rtv. Should stay semi-water resistant for a while.

Removed my never used tape deck to come up with some kind of bracket to protrude through the opening and serve as a mounting point for other stuff! Did a bit of mock up with chipboard tonight and will cut some sheet metal in the morning to see what I can muster up! Stay tuned! (The outside is Not gonna look like that)

Doing kid chores out picking up a playhouse and a slide all with 5 people inside. Gotta love it!

I "installed" 3" of lift by adjusting my sensors and adding the Japan 4x4 AHC shock spacers. 3" wasn't possible on the OEM UCA, but when I put the SPC arms on it was way over that until I dropped the sensor mounts as low as they would go on the aftermarket arms. I desperately need to install my diff drop kit now.

Installed 1" slee poly spacers on my rear slee coils, still trying to regain height I lost with the additional weight of the slee rear bumper. I think I am close to where I was. With the help of a hill by my office, quick disconnect of the lower shock and sway bar the install was a whopping 12 min. I did need to help of my holiday jack for the second side.

Installed landcruiser OEM shocks in my 2000 LX470, replaced the OME Nitro Sports. What a difference! love my OME 1.5" lift, hated the shocks

Have the same set-up on my 2000 LC along with KO2 tires. It does ride pretty rough on pavement. Been thinking about different shocks. Any particular OEM shocks you put on?
