Prinsu roof rack
I pulled out my Drop Stops and arm rests for a couple days when working on the center console and immediately dropped everything down the side of my seat where it's inaccessable and gets wedged deeper and deeper the harder you dig for it. Cell phone, pens, keys, wallets, everything. You have to pull over and search with a flashlight to find them again. Drop Stops are required for vehicles like this with a horrible gap trap IMO. And for $20 it's a no-brainer. I have them on several of my vehicle and have bought them for other people when I was tired of dropping my things down between their seats. They stay put and move with the seat adjustment and you never notice them except for when they stop you from losing your stuff.

This is very neat. What a simple good idea.
Replaced coils and plugs with Densos. Previous owner had installed Bosch plugs and aftermarket Coils. I am pretty pumped by the difference in engine response just from this one change.
Also swapped fluids in diffs and transfer case, repacked front bearings, replaced front pads and rotors.
Next is the radiator. The plastic top has a hairline crack in it, and no amount of epoxy patch seems to be able to fix it. Slow it down, yes, fix, no. Going to put one more patch on it and hope it allows me to hold off on replacement for another 4(ish) weeks until the weather is warmer and my wallet has recovered from these other projects.

I ran the LRA 40 gallon tank down to the light. Learned I still had 6 gallons to go after the fill up.

ACC Garage installed new Foam Cell Pros, Control Arms, Bushings. Drives amazing.
Finally got my Bora Spacers back from Motosport Tech, it took a whole month to reach my door step. Install went smoothly, quality piece, and did not get any vibrations. Wish factory wheels came with this offset instead of making us run spacers. That wetness you see is me drenching the truck in fluid film, nothing is leaking 
They poke out just the right amount
While installing the rear spacers, my inner pads were almost gone, they wore unevenly because one of the slide pin was a little stiff. Took that out, clean up the old grease and applied new grease and installed new pads. Should be even now that everything slides smoothly.

Why'd you have to send them in? Or it took a month from ordering to deliver?Finally got my Bora Spacers back from Motosport Tech, it took a whole month to reach my door step.

I ran cheap flee bay spacers for a few years and haven't for the last year, but have been contemplating these. They seem like a great option.
Sorry for the confusion, they're made to order so it took awhile, 28 days total from order placement to my door. They're quality stuff, if you don't want to wait then Slee stocks the spidertraxx spacers on their site, but it's blue.
So that's what the "D" light looks like.

Greased my spindle bushings the easy way. 10 minutes per side, if that. That bushing is designed to push grease into the needle bearings. If the pics are rotated, I’ll fix it when I get to a computer.

Turbo kit?! Awesome! What are you using for ECU control?

When you do this backdoor grease up are you re-using the existing axle end lock ring? (assuming it's still in spec)Greased my spindle bushings the easy way. 10 minutes per side, if that.

And is that Mobil 1 you're shooting, or... ?
Went to Big Bend Ranch State Park over the Presidents' Day weekend. Been to the National Park numerous times. This was my first trip to the State Park and.....WOW! The State Park is soooooo much better than the National Park if you're into remote camping, dark skies and mile upon mile of rugged off-road terrain (bring a 2nd spare type of terrain). My full trip report and more pics are documented in another post.
I've got the old snap rings on for now until the new ones I ordered arrive. I measured the old snaps at 2.0mm so I know what to order for the replacements since it's a tight fit in there. I did not use anything special for the grease, just some good old-fashioned generic wheel bearing grease. I've been working on 80's and now this 100 for over 12 years now and have learned that you don't have to use the top-of-the-line stuff that is often preached as gospel on here. No offense to those that do. As far as the spindle bushing and needle bearings, they are overlooked by most repair shops when doing a bearing repack during a brake rotor replacement, etc, so any grease you can get in there is better than no grease.
I appreciate the Input/explainer. Thank you!
