Had a wooden sleeping platform for my 80. Building one for the 100 but am using steel this time just for fun. Making a wooden mock-up first out of furring strips. So much room in the back of a 100 with the seats out. That’s Charlie in the last two pics. He showed up on our porch one year ago in bad shape. He’s a lucky boy. We take him on all of our Colorado and Utah adventures in the Cruiser. That’s him on my back walking across Gemini Bridges outside of Moab in July ‘18. You can barely make out my white 80 at the top of the tree line to the right.

it was time for a 5 tire rotation and balance at discount tire. while that was done, noticed my passenger side inner smaller cv boot was ripped right before the clamp. mechanic recommended to replace it with a new one from car quest so had that done today. no vibration noticed so we'll see how long it will last but will reboot my old one (154k on it) and keep it as a spare.
last night, did the driver side valve cover gasket. took me 4 freakin hours cause I had a hard time w/ the tube seals. will do the passenger side in a day or 2.

Yes.
I bent up the old ones a bit upon removal. So don’t start until you have replacements in hand!
Front doors, I loosened the mirrors a bit from the inside to slide the molding under. Rear doors were just pry gently and pull up.
I’ll try to post pics when I get to the quarter belt trim...sigh.
nice. You switching over the syn line as well?
I just did the same thing. They also made the steering less twitchy!
Damn fine rig you've got there!
I don’t know. I like the synthetic but replacing it every couple of years gets pricey. I may once this steel wears out.
No kidding? I’ll have to give them a shot.
I installed the rears as well and I would honestly recommend them to anyone installing OME. Much more comfortable ride and I dont "brace" when i see a pothole or bump coming up.. Wish i would have done this sooner.
Will these work for the 1.5 OME M. Lift?
Finally got around installing the rear camera. Going to install a front camera later this week.
The 1.5 shouldn't put as much static load on the sway bars. So it might be less beneficial than on the 2.5 inch lift. But the links are 2 inches longer than stock links, so it should still be beneficial. Places the sway-bar within .5 of stock position. Someone else more knowledgable can chime in if they have info that would help

Thanks! I didn't even think of that. I never even pulled them out of the box. I'll have to check them today. I'll let you know what I find out. Hopefully it'll be good news.
@SuperLuke Love the simple look. What roof rack are you using and the tent?
I am planning to get a tent but not sure if I can use my oem rack.

Had a great trip up to get the family Christmas tree. Got to love the sierras. Stopped off a Alabama Hills for a bit as well. Love that place.
Oh, and I added some more storage to the top

@KraziAzn Stupid question here, but is there a special program in the Pioneer head unit that allows for the front camera? I was thinking of doing also running of front mount camera, but I am currently ditching the rearview mirror and putting a full time monitor with the rear view cam.
