These were a bit fiddly and time consuming to install but imo the fit and finish turned out pretty good and we're really happy with them!

finally figured this out , mount clips straight on the condenser. makes complete sense. these mount clips were so s***. , didn't even lock in so loose. had to use lighter and melt the ends. Might order some decent ones off ebay that actually work. No manual instruction on how to use either. Still seems to work. OMG its heaps colder just idling now. Might add another and move the A/T cooler forward. Should be awesome.

Installed a new fuse box cover seal and burped the cooling system from changing the leaking front bypass seal, and some hoses.
Is that fuse box seal a Toyota part?
 
Stripped down passenger front hub to repack bearings. Some barbarian used gasket goop to seal the flange, which squidged up into the cone washers, so the whole thing was an ordeal. Thanks for the tips in various threads, @2001LC! The hub itself is pretty rusty, with all the coating flaked off. Is it worth disassembling and coating with POR15 to prevent further rust? Also, the bearings look in decent shape but are clearly not OEM - stamp says SKF/China. Worth replacing with Timken, or leave it if they’re in ok shape? I have a feeling my slop was due to improper preload/ clip spacing.

Replaced and rewired (one) headlight lol beams. Picked up and mounted recovery boards.
Not sure of the best place to mount but this worked.
 
Noticed one of my OEM brake lights was out. Disappointed it only lasted 17 years. 😅

Decided to go ahead and swap everything to LED (headlights and reverse lights are already LED), so ordered Sylvania LEDs all around and replaced the direction relay (that was more of a pain than I expected), really like how bright and clean these lights look.

I'd suggest the following:

1. Yes, replace the bearings and races at the same time. Keep them as matched pairs.
2. If your hub is rusty, be very careful about applying any coating. It may be best to simply use a wire brush and/or "weak" grinding tool to get rid of the surface rust. If you choose to apply a coating, ensure that it doesn't enter the hub cavity at all costs. It will make reinstalling races a complete PITA.
3. If you can, it may be worth it to remove the castle nuts and completely remove the spindle at the same time for inspection and cleaning. Pay attention to the seals and spindle bearing; if those look old and the bearing has any signs of wear, replace them. You may struggle with the ABS sensor removal - most of us do, and patience is the key for removal and reinstallation due to the gunk and potential rust build up.
4. Don't forget to get some fresh grease in the spindle itself so that the needle bearing has a happy life of service.
5. New cone washers and a fresh hub flange makes removal and reinstallation so much easier the next few times. Your brass hammer will be very grateful.
6. It is also a great opportunity to replace wheel/hub flange studs if any of them are questionable.
 
Removed and replaced AHC switch with a new lil dirt catcher thing. While I was in there I removed the seat heater switches, shifter bezel, and PWR/2nd switches AND cleaned out 15 years of crumbs and crap that accumulated.

Looks like a decent respectable console area now.
