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

Is it normal to rotate that much untill they get alligned? I rotated them more than 10 times already

Did some exploring and product testing on the Sea of Cortez.

A-Trac is no substitute for lockers when it comes to steep sand hills. With a locked vehicle you can stop anywhere on the hill and go to the top NOT with A-Trac Also not able to come up the center line forced to take the easy line on the side, with F&R lockers not a problem.

Awesome! My first driving experience (other than a golf cart) was in my grandfather's J40 when I was the same age back in 1981. He had two of them and I wish we still had them (sold them in 1998 when we sold the ranch in Menard) especially knowing what they are worth now

Got the running boards and the plastic fender flares off and gave her a bath.

- New hood lift supports (keywords: bonnet struts)
- Tightened VCG bolts (most were finger-tight)
- Thoroughly cleaned the engine bay.
- Finally received my MINI-VCI cable so I can start playing around with TechStream. Hopefully I can:
1. Change remote unlock to single-push. When I want in, I want IN!
2. Lengthen the longest wiper delay. Oregon 'rain' isn't really rain, it's just a slightly annoying mist.
3. Reset my auto-down window. Any amount of playing with the button will not do it...

- And read back to p.155 of this thread. So much good info! But it's weird seeing all your builds in reverse...

@ad27326 here is a writeup I did on it. This should get you started. I feel your pain.

Went for a logging trail drive to dial in off-road suspension settings on my Tough Dog Adjustables and Tyre pressures.

Do you want to sell the flares? I'm looking for a set to hide some battle scars I incurred on the trail

how did you do this?

 

[MGarland]

Installed the Slee 2nd battery tray last night. While doing so I got this text from my wife. Glad I married a woman with a sense of humor...

I'm about to get a pair of these to modernize the look of my 01 LC, what do you guys think?

money well spent! I did it a couple weeks ago.

Wanted the Mako to stand out from the crowd. The goal was to mimic TRD styling, and make it look like this could come from Lexus. I used Rustoleum Flexi-Dip for the base, and gloss red for the top coat. That way it's completely removable. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on some Tundra TRD wheels, add TRD hub caps, and get some General Grabber X3's to continue the red theme. I know, the tire... I ran out of plastic
