Installed an ARB Bull Bar Bumper and Smitty Built winch. Took about 5 hours with a few beer breaks.
Bought my first Land Cruiser! 
98 LX470 with 204k mile. I‘ll need to fix some nagging electrical issues (driver window, climate control buttons) and do some amateur rust repair on the hatch but otherwise a super clean interior and a thick stack of recent service records including timing belt and AHC overhaul!
Look forward to sharing first adventure into the LC world and hopefully contributing to all the awesome knowledge on here!

Started out to replace a failing tensioner pulley and found the tensioner to have a serious crack in it. I suspect this has been the source of an unexplained noise from the engine bay I've been hearing since my timing belt job. Very fortunate it hasn't totally failed on me as I can only imagine it'd take the fan and radiator with it!

Congrats! For the climate control buttons, some people have had luck cleaning and shimming them. I replaced the momentary switches following a thread on here. It was like $10 and took maybe a couple hours.Bought my first Land Cruiser!

Yeah, I’ve been through the threads, so much info! I’m going to try cleaning first and at the same time look for a spare. Soldering is not one of my strengths so I may try a different unit and see if I can repair my original.
Just you know.... product testing....
The pallet got stuck on the truck drivers dolly.....
My AirLift airbags were troublesome when I wheeled and I kept pulling the lines off the bags or ripping the bags themselves when I stretched the suspension out.
I was tired of replacing parts and finally got some OME heavies. I'm happy I can wheel and tow and not fret over my suspension.
Ready for a quick trip to UT this Wednesday!

For both seats and they are a rellay good deal imo! They fit well and are very hardy!
The only downside is that they don't brraty that well but otherwise great!
Very nice! When you say UT you mean the Utah? It amazes me how casually you call a trip from east coast to UT a "quick trip"!
Here I am planning to get out to west for almost 2 years and I am in midwest!!
Oh, stop planning and go! It's not that long a trip. I will leave after school Wednesday, and by Saturday @kasassy and I will be floating the Green River. Need the desert sun and time on the river to get my head straight. Been a helluva year.
I've been driving with an airbag light on the dash for the past 4 months. Cruise control didn't work either. Techstream scanned as B0101 - open circuit in D squib. Thought it was a bad connector, but I had a big hunch it was the clockspring.
I ordered a fake counterfeit clockspring from China for $15 shipped (even came in a fake Genuine Lexus/Toyota parts box with a Toyota sticker on it). Yeah, yeah ....I know and totally expect that I'll be doing the job twice. Also, the counterfeit part is missing 2 pins in the top 6 pin connector, and missing another 2 pins in the bottom 4 pin connector. Steering wheel puller makes for easy work. In and out buttoned up in about an hour.
Well, I put it in today. And my airbag light is gone, and my cruise works. Lets see how long, but when it goes, I'll be paying the big bucks to put in a genuine OEM for like $300-400. $15 vs $300+, I'll take my chances and do the labor twice.

What started as a quick tire rotation turned into fixing broke studs and replacing lug nuts. Using an air hammer and Kroil Oil was the trick to getting them out quick. Getting them back in was made easy by using the Lisle wheel stud installer. Also got my matching spare just in time for my first tire rotation. Back to races we go.

Which stretch are you floating?
Labyrinth, and the Moab Daily with some Mudders if we come off Laby early enough.

Enjoy! I'm hoping to get on the water soon.
And the final product.........
Kind of a last minute idea, but I inlayed the only chunk I saved of an OEM cargo mat from my 95 LC that I haven't owned in 20 years. I didn't even wipe off the 1995 dirt. I guess all that time working in car audio in the 90s making speaker boxes paid off on this project. Took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I think it turned out pretty cool.
Can you share the GTR link??Finally got the second seal seated the way I want it seated. The second is always a charm.
