MCB Customz in Amissville, VA. I'll definitely post up once it's back.
I was getting a bit of hood vibration, so changed out the old hood seal which was pretty flat and worn compared to the new one. Not sure I needed new hood bumpers, but I put them on anyway. Also added some more lights on a hood switch, which give a good bit of light. Haven’t driven it yet to see if these make any difference.

Nice! Been putting off the same job because I never liked the look of the leather offered from other companies, if just doing the seat skin. The leather Wolfman uses looks OEM from the pictures you posted. The stitching looks really good, too. He had 1 driver seat skin in gray for the LX left, and I placed the order. Thanks for posting and letting us know about his shop!I reupholstered my driver's seat pan. In the process I learned the previous owner once again stripped out the seat arm rest bolt, causing me great time spent in modifying a fix with tap and die kit, drilling, and fitting new bolt. The 2000 LC100 does not have a leather seat arm rest cover that you can turn inside out, so I'll later be ordering a new one.
The seat pan leather replacement is phenomenal. I got if from Wolfmans Auto and Cycle Seats. The owner does a how to video on Youtube, and even sells you the hog ring pliers you will need to do the job. I am thrilled with the customer support and product from this small business. A+++ Excellent.

Will this fit an 100 with an ARB without the spacer or will those still be needed?
Beautiful workmanship!!
Thanks to cryptyk for the file. Got Shapeways to print the Method cap extensions. So far, after 50 miles, they've held up.

Took the grandpa steps off and also put on some Nomad convoy wheels in utility gray (needs a wash bad, ignore that)

I'm even considering getting the passenger side too, although it is perfect other than being old and sun beaten. I'm loving the new leather look in the Land Cruiser, it's like a glimpse of the past, how it would have been off the show room floor. glad I could help.

Added 10hp and realized I need to change some rusty bolts.
Love the wheels. Looking to get a set myself eventually. What size did you order?
What kind/color of seats are those? Any better pictures?
It’s from Ridies (post #7), I believe the color is called Audi burnt orange and they are full grain napa leather.
Wheels are 17x8.5 +25mm and tires are KO2 285/70R17

Finally I deleted the fender flares and running boards. wow, what a difference. I see more mods coming in the future before it is all said and done for this truck. After seeing the LC100 this way, I'd never opt to re-install either the boards or the flares. Great improvement on looks for the cost of nothing. I have some work to do cleaning up, but that can be for another day. This was a bit of a filthy job.
PROS
Easier getting under to grease the drive shaft
Probably going to gain an ever so slight improvement on mpg
Obviously clearance is better and now there's an open invitation for rock sliders
I believe I'm probably saving paint damage with less chance of rust under the plastic
CONS are up to you. for me... none.

After 4 years , finally replaced the passenger door actuator . Best $5 spent !!!!
You are lucky none of the cable stops in the actuator assembly broke like mine did. 20 year old plastics become brittle over time. Luckily, I already had a complete actuator assembly coming in so the down time was minimal. I thought about using JB Weld on it but when I opened up the assembly, all the plastic tabs holding the case to the metal assembly broke off. Plus, it was probably not a good idea to use JB weld on a part that, if it broke, would prevent me from being able to use the inside door handle.
