Check/ replace those heater tees… and re-torque your valve cover bolts to avoid nuisance issues.

One T was recently replaced, I plan on replacing the other one soon. Why the PO only did one I have no idea when they were already going to be back there. Valve covers are currently leaking, not a lot but are damp down the sides of the heads. I planed on just getting new gaskets when I order lower front ball joints and new sway bar end links.
New front seat leather. Just did seat bottoms, will need to drive some miles to shine it up. Next up, heater Ts and hoses.
Where did you get the covers?
Local shop in Panama city, fl. Dropped off yesterday morning, he cuts and sews right there. It was ready yesterday afternoon. Santos Upholstery. Under $500 for both.
Yesterday have completed installation.
Albeit looks pretty neat I've realised that I'm not that comfortable with these switches, at least for as long as the locker is concerned.
The switch is too responsive and accidental engage might occur if either distracted or have my finger wrongly pointed. And a differential locked at a high speed is not something that I'd like to deal with.
Intend to replace them all with aviation type switches.
Need to also find a way to hide that remote cable.
Reverting.
I like these carling switches, better looking than aviation types. Perhaps, install a safety switch for the locker elsewhere to avoid accidental activation?

Good call. Thank you. I did it! And also replaced almost everything else in that picture. I had no plan to go that deep with this job, but I'm so happy about it and this newbie DIYer is getting more confident all the time. Took advantage of some great Black Friday sales too. It was all just great timing.

That looks fantastic.
Thanks, I am very impressed that they just match the leather, order a sheet and cut and sew it right there. Truly a craftsman.
Yeap, good advice. Think I'll do that eventually.
Looks great! I've got a white one that needs re-painted as well, I've been debating on how to deal with the trim along the side...I think it looks really sharp painted gloss white to match the rest of the vehicle! Great looking BBS wheels too!
Figured out my brake squeal issue… apparently mud doesn’t bed well.
Better pics tomorrow…
Looks great! Voting for a black grill here
That’s next. Painting the center piece gloss black, keeping the surround and emblem chrome. Hatch badges will be gloss black, swapping out the white and chrome “LAND CRUISER” appliqué for a black and chrome… will probably paint mirrors black as well.
Always wanted to do this and finally am able to. Wrap the DIY Prinsu racks with garland and 100' of LED battery powered Christmas lights. What a chore it was to wrap 100' of lights LOL. I'll get nighttime photos but this will do for now.
