Made up some rear antenna/light tab mounts.
They are in paint now and will post pics tomorrow. I will have these in stock in the next 2-3 weeks along with Rigid Dually or aftermarket LEDs.
Also, made up a "Safe Jack" style topper for the OEM bottle jack. These are tube section cut for optimal axle to jack support contact. As most know... any slop or play on a jack surface with a 5-8000# rig = disaster due to momentum forces. I've made a ton of these for the Rover and Jeep guys so might as well extend to the Cruiser crowd.

Just installed a Yada wireless backup camera. The installation was very easy with the Hundy. I didn't want to drill any holes, so there is just a little bit of visible wire on the outside. Oh my, looking at this picture I realize I really need a wash as well.
jesus thats a tight fit in the garage
Thinking about a 10' garage door, cause "it don't fit" since the lift. 10' get the rtt inside and maybe allows me to drop on a canoe or two.....
Grabbed an OEM winch for it.
Got my spider Trax spacers on. The spacers from the PO weren't hubcentric, so the woke was getting to me.
Also finally got center caps for the 18" tundra wheels. One isn't very tight, so I may lose it on this weekend camping trip.

Got it aligned yesterday, and also polished the 
on my rack- did a $20 makeover on my antique RocketBox. 10 bucks in plastic primer and paint and 10 bucks for new stickers on eBay. I now have $70 total in the box, and have had it for 7 years lol.

had differential drop kit, sway bar links from trail tailor installed as well as a new axle this weekend and what a difference these items have made on how she drives and accelerates. should have done this when I lifted her
Replaced the diff support bracket with OE just for the new bushing. Would have preferred fitting a super pro poly bushing ($45) but they are on a 4-6 week back order through the US distributor and I didn't feel like having one sent from Aus. Looking to avoid a drivers side creak becoming a thunk! Old bushing was pretty much done.
Yea it's got like a inch clearance above my Yakima bars on the front runner rack
What e-locker do you've installed?

Nice, is the inside lined with something or is it paint?
Thank you!
No just paint, for now, most people I met dont even paint, but saw one 80 lined with a smooth type paint (forgot name) and it looked really good. His drawer slides over the paint without the expensive HD slides!

I agree 100% slides are overrated and take up valuable space
You are correct,
however, they require less maintenance over time.
The 80's drawer carries some heavy tools and camping gear, so the paint underneath it is peeling off, and it is not a smooth operation.
So, $28cdn upfront per slide (100lbs rated) to run forever, total $58,
or repaint the friction points over time for a smoother operation?
I chose the first option,,, but we value things differently
