Key fobs ready! Heater T's planned for Friday!
Added a new 5 lb propane tank mount using a Powertank bracket
Met the owner of this beautiful 100 in the outback in grand canyon ,, he is not in the forum ,, slee bumper looks good in real life 
Yesterday I adjusted my front AHC neutral pressures.
In a few days I will buy a winch, so I used a few batteries to simulate the "winch".
With the "winch" in place the front pressure is now 7.1Mpa-g:
I also saw there was something wrong with my steering angle sensor, but that is for another time.
Without the "winch" my front pressure is about 6.5Mpa-g.
Measurement with no person in the car. I had to do 10 turns each side.
I will probably do this again when the winch is in place, easy job that does not take much time.
I'll probably flush the system too.

Found this packing job hysterical. My female neighbor chuckled. I didn’t make things better when I said it was just a breather kit. Darn you Amazon and your discrete packaging!
Looks like I’ve got a busy little weekend planned....
Looks like I get to take off work early today and go pick up some new heater T's to install tonight!
My FIL called me up just now and said he was driving it and temp hit the red, popped hood and no coolant in the overflow. Too short to verify it was the heater tees - but with 225k on originals I'm pretty sure they finally went!
I guess I should also install the new battery I had wife pick up the other day at Costco because starts were getting sluggish.

Yes, you are going to be busy! Your going all over that rig, inside, outside. Your going to lose all focus, better make a list.
Is that the steering wheel available on ebay?
let me know if you would like some help this weekend.......
This is an OEM Lexus wheel for 98-00 J100s. The previous owner provided it when he sold it to me back in March. He had bought it back in 2003 and never put it on. I'm replacing the all-leather steering wheel on my LX that is in absolutely perfect condition. Figured I'd try the wood.
I put my 33's on Method wheels, oh they look so good. They stick out about 3/4" pass the fender, this is 1/2" more than my OEM wheels + 30mm spacers.
I honestly think 33's are perfect for our trucks. yeah?

How is the wrap holding up?
Edit: Nice wheels, btw...

@FxFormat Agreed on 33s being perfect. You got a front facing stance shot of those? They look SICK! Super jealous right now.

The wrap is holding up great, but i took it off road and pin striped them a bit. Nothing ripped through, just faint scratches that you can see when the sun hits it and you're up close at angle. My buddy's jeep, his paint were pretty badly scuffed up from that trail too..overall, it's holding up great even when i was scraping ice off it.
I'll get some tomorrow morning, i just got these on like an hour ago when my shop closed up, you had Oem tundras on with 30mm spacers right? These will stick out 1/2" more beyond that. I had to cut a hole in the center caps to clear the front dust cap though, so be aware. Also these wheels, the center caps go on the inside of the bore, meaning you put it on the back of the wheel, then you mount the wheel onto the wheel hub. So the center cap acts as like a hubcentric ring kinda. Overall acceleration is about the same with Tundra wheels, slow as hell lol Look really good though, some trucks were staring at them while i was driving.
Yup....exactly....OEM Tundra SR5 on 30mm/1.25inch spacers. Ironically, you bought your wheels from the guy who sold me the spacers I believe
Really dig those Methods....make your rig look sweet....18mm offset I believe, correct? Very curious if you get any rub on the fender at all.
I haven't tested them on full flex yet, but turning lock to lock while reversing and going into parking spaces did not rub. I'm very picky with stuff and i could tell these are high quality wheels just by looking and holding them. You were going to pick up a set of new wheels too right? Have you decided which ones yet? +25 offset is the sweet spot on a 9" wheel, which these are. Glad i found a set locally and it worked out.
Yup, still considering my options. I really do like the SR5 I have, but those Methods are danged nice looking. I have to do a few maintenance things this month first (replace CV axles, front discs and pads and steering rack bushings) before the new wheels. Looking at February or March for those.
