Finally got around to doing the 'soft drain/fill' of the transmission. Just let out the ~3 quarts that come out when removing the drain plug, and refilled. I'll probably do this a couple of more times to get some more fresh fluid in there. No sexy pics this time, was a pretty straight-forward job, especially since I didn't strip anything, and just replaced the plug with a new one.
Also helps to have a really skinny funnel, and a gallon container to see how much fluid you get out, so you know how much to put back in without constantly having to fill/check/fill/check/etc.
Also greased the u-joints while I was down there.

Radiator clutch fan replacement, then failed Alternator 30 miles into the mountains 
. Caught a ride to Lake City for a new battery then raw dogged it to Alamosa to have it replaced. Kids were clueless lol.

WHHHHAAZZUP! You killed it out there! My lack of travel kinda made things a little meddlesome @ the Wall, which is leading me to thinking of some "thangs" to get that resolved.
Damn I would of gave you my rear airbags, I pulled them out months ago.

Looks good, and the fender light as well. Welcome to the slick-top club.
I drove around for a bit sans roof rack and it was quite pleasant in terms of wind noise

Slick top is slick!
Need more info on the fender marker/turn signal light.
from the headlight washer and "turbo" sticker, I'm guessing it's a turbo diesel imported from a non-US market, and the fender marker is OEM
these look very similar
70/100 Series JDM Fender Side-Marker Turn Signal kit
Overseas 70 Series and 100 Series Toyota Land Cruisers came equipped with fender-mounted side-marker lenses which illuminate an additional turn signal lamp bulb for extra visibility and safety. Using a snorkel template as a guide, one can easily cut a hole for the lens and mount it in the OEM...

@ClassyJalopy @jaewastooshort ding ding winner winner.... hardest and also the easiest way to get the fender marker is import the whole vehicle...

All the goodies already in place. All armored up. Nice.
Looks well taken care of. I like it.
They make a positive terminal cover for the battery… $21 at the dealership
$7.25 at Partsouq… $5.59 at Impex
If you’ve got other stuff to order.
Adds another factor of safety, and cleans it up a little more.
You have a lot of skill and patience to tackle a project like this!Replacing the brownwith a little green

I've had my 06 for almost four months now. Just finding time to get started.
Took the running boards off (at wife's request!)
Replaced all four door speakers with Infinity speakers (reference separates in front, regular coax in the rear)
Treated all four doors to some Noico
Redid foam surround on subwoofer
Replaced driver side belt trim (bitch to get that rear vent window on) Had to remove interior trim to get to it so I Noico'd the rear quarter and wheel well while in there.
The real prep is still on the table
In the que: exhaust manifolds, new radiator, PS rack, new globes, transfer Metal Tech sliders and sleeping platform from my 98.
Hope to see some new Patch torsion bars and King springs in the mail soon.
Need to decide on front bumper/winch and whether to even do a rear bumper (that Nguyen one looks pretty).

I lack both. Letting the professionals take care of this one. I have to say this 100 is really growing on me. A few years ago I would have opted for much cheaper options/repairs, but I think people (like me) are starting to wake up the value of these rigs. My 200 is great, but the 100 is starting to feel like a classic. A pleasure to drive.You have a lot of skill and patience to tackle a project like this!
