First "mod" as it were: decided the running boards needed to go! According to my scale they're 20.5lbs each, I'll take a 41lb weight savings!

I know this is kind of silly compared to monster tires, etc., but today I applied Wolfgang Interior Trim Sealant to my front seats. I have recently re-upholstered my seat bottoms, and the gloss level of the seat backs vs. the dead matte finish of the new bottoms was bothering me. I saw the product used on Garage Squad, so even though it's pricey, I thought I would try it for protection and gloss unification. Well it seems to work great. I now have a nice semi-gloss sheen on the entire seat, and that made the perceived color match even better. I will see how it holds up, but so far it looks great.
Good luck,
Dave

Only one silly thing in this post: no pictures. Let's see 'em!
 
Where'd you get your hands on those ramps? Been looking for quality ones before I just go HF or similar.
Autozone, I think, but lots of retailers seem to carry them. They stack and all 4 take up about the room of 2.
 
Put in some 30mm rear spring spacers today. Lowered my pressure in the rear from 7.1 to 6.1. Had to lower the front a little to increase pressure (after install) from 6.3 to 6.8.
 
Did you do a sensor lift already? Curious how much of a difference there was in the ride quality before the spacers. I'd done a sensor lift on my LX just before deleting the AHC and was pleasantly surprised how smooth the ride still was.
 
I have not and not sure if I will any time soon as I have little ones that need to be able to get into/out of truck...which I already made harder by removing the stock steps. the beauty of the system is that u can raise it when u need it. When I get or make sliders, then I can reconsider. Btw, sending u a pm

I bought some rims off a wrecked 2000 Land Cruiser and decided to give them a paint job. Now I can swap over between winter/summer tires without taking the Cruiser into the shop.
 
Previous owner included some new Powerstop rotors with ceramic pads still in the boxes so I’m slapping those on this weekend. The old rotors and pads are fine but I need some garage time before the holidays. Ha.

Huge upgrade to lighting this week. Morimoto HIDs in the projectors, and 9011 HIR1s in the high beams :D

Oh, and the squirrel finders are real! Literally made me lol

Sprayed my wiper arms and plastic cowl trim tonight because they were getting pretty chalky. Also removed the AHC accumulator, which was the final piece that would have been in the way of my frame sliders. What a PITA, decided cutting the lines on and around it was the only reasonable option.

Will be putting on sliders and new heater Ts tomorrow before a trip to the mountains Sunday.
 
Put in some new Vosla +30 HIR2 (9012) halogen headlights and a pair of Optilux Extreme Yellow XY bulbs in place of the fogs. (No flames, I know the latter are complete junk.) Next up will be 9011 bulbs.
