You have to do the front minimum with the rock warriors.

Aren’t front spacers only necessary to run the RW center caps? Or is it necessary for wheel clearance?

CV Boots on both sides apparently didn't like the Eibach Lift in front set at 21.25" even with the Slee Diff Drop, throwing grease. Seemed to be the clamps when inspecting, hope the recommended McMaster clamps do the job. I left them just finger and thumb tight with a ratchet screw driver, needed a little more tightening and I am scared to overtighten them. I will check through the week, but seems very much improved.

Yes I quoted myself :).

Update: Leak is all gone on both sides, thanks McMaster Clamps.
 
Chasing down the 06/07 hot stall issue. First step replace fuel filter while waiting on replacement fuel pump. Took off what might be the original filter (157k miles) based upon PO service records. Baggie is the “filtered” fuel on the out/engine side of filter - nasty and dark. Easy swap that has to make fuel delivery better.

Threw my OVS 270 Awning up on the Gobi rack this morning. Sits just like I had hoped with the Fourtreks Mounts.

For those of you up here in the PNW with me, you'll be able to relate to the recent fun of the "atmospheric river" we've been experiencing, AKA days on end of dumping rain. I noticed a drip to the interior from both front corners of my sunroof that wasn't the seal to the truck body. It turned out to be the inner seal bonded to the glass itself. Water gets between the inner rubber and the glass and runs down into the front plastic bezel piece. Once enough water has built up there, it drips out the seam where the front and side interior trim bezels meet.

I was all ready to pull the trigger on a new glass as you can't get this rubber separate, but it looks like Mr. T wants $750 MSRP for one now, ouch! I'm going to try a bit of sealant first and see if that'll be enough to do it. If not, it looks like an early xmas gift for the cruiser.

Separation was the worst at the front center where the two pieces of this rubber meet. My driveway is level and with the forward rake of the suspension, this is always sitting underwater whenever it rains.

The rear join is just starting to separate, but not yet as bad as the front.

Unsure if you added more about this project, but I am in the same PNW boat and this thread is long. 😁 What caulk did you use and what was the outcome? Thanks!!

The sealant fix worked perfectly and stopped that leak. It was a bit of an emergency for me so I used some dynaflex that I had in my garage. I wouldn't recommend using that, it dries much too slowly. I'd think just about anything that will stick should work. Anything we use will likely degrade with UV exposure over time, but easy enough to scrape out and re-seal whenever needed. Sikaflex 295 UV might be the most permanent thing, and it's probably what I'll use to re-do mine toward the end of the summer.
 
I took it to lunch today and the hostess put me at the perfect table! Lunch with a view!

Getting all my valuable junk out so I can take it to get an estimate. Hit the steering wheel airbag. Provably going to total it. 😞

Wannabes posting up in my neighborhood, not using prudent aim at their intended target. Kids these days, gotta teach them everything!

Knuckle cleanup and overhaul, new bearings and races, new UCAs, new LBJs, sway bar bushings, front diff bushings, diff drop, new torsion bars and shocks... Hopefully it will be drivable by next spring and I won't be bankrupt 🤣

what part of Seattle are you in? I'm up in Shoreline if you need any help.
