Ordered owl expedition media mount
Powdered coated chrome bull bar to black
Installed the OME 1.5" lift this weekend. Need to completely remove the AHC components still but got the drivers side hard line out. I also hammered out the old front diff bushing which was not as bad to do as originally expected. About 20 minutes with a chisel and my 3lb sledge. New one in and drive clunk is basically gone. The old busing actually looked to be in decent shape too.

Nothing cool, no mods....just commuting and picking up kids...and this happened..
Keep us updated on the new sun roof! I’m curious to know how well it keeps the battery topped off.Completed the hybrid conversion

A fixed roof mounted panel with a PWM controller isn't the most efficient (but hey, it is cheap). It should help keep my house battery up while running a fridge on days I don't drive the cruiser. I still need to work of my rooftop cable management, but the system seems to be working.
- 100w Rich Solar flexible panel (ETFE)
- Rubber door edge guards
- 3M VHB tape
- Renogy 10awg PV cables
- Renogy Voyager Charge Controller (waterproof, PWM, 20A, battery temperature sensor)
- 20amp circuit breaker at the battery
I did—wet sanded it with 400 grit. I removed the trim on the passenger side, so tried both ways. It was nice to not have to tape, and it was good to get all the crud lurking at the trim edges bugged out (used an eraser wheel) but it was a pain to remove all the adhesive from the truck and (worse) trim. And I needed three of those little rolls of adhesive and some new clips to reinstall.
summary: both techniques are a pain. Slightly better results but more expense and slightly more pain to remove/reinstall trim, but probably the best way to do it right.

Something similar to what you see here. Found this on OverlandBound’s Instagram a while back. I have a NIB dual 4ohm voice coil bazooka tube I bought for another project that I've thought about mounting similar. I'm not sure the factory amp would push it though, even if I wire it from a dual...

Finally broke away and made my escape towards Five Mile. Friend of mine in the triple-locked 80. I don't know if he's a member here or just lurks when problems pop up.
Discovered along the way that my CDL won't engage. All the electronics and relays make their proper noises, but I get a light grinding noise (RPM-dependant) when the CDL is 'engaged'. Halfway up a steep, muddy ascent is probably not the perfect place to find this out, but we managed.

Made a mount plate for ARB CKMA-12 air compressor and installed it using the existing pre tapped holes.
Joe does great work, he built my bumpers.
Turned off the stupid, rarely functional "auto" wiper function, turned off DRLs, and fixed a really annoying rattle with the metal bit under steering wheel/column. While I was in Techstream I noticed a wheel speed sensor code. Not sure how to address, anyone had this issue?
My LX is at a local shop getting the front sway bar bushings replaced. I know what a nightmare they can be, so I am happy to pay a cool $100 to the shop to deal with it. I asked them to give it a once over to make sure there isn't anything else they see wrong with the suspension/drivetrain. They came back saying that the passenger side torque arm is "tweaked". They noticed that splines are exposed at the LCA and thnk the torque arm somehow took a hit.
See below for the pics they shared. Is that even a thing? Can a torque arm even be tweaked?

Looks normal to me. Mine show splines as well.
Finally installed and wired the winch I bought from Xmas. Amazon thimble to finish it off.
