Replaced the bands on my CV boots on the passenger's side last night and will finish up the driver's side tonight. After that I will disassemble and grease my bearings. Have not done that before so it should be interesting! Everything to prep for our 14 hour drive next week to SoCal visiting my in-laws.
I replaced my broken oe fogs with these Toyota blanks I ordered from cruiserparts.net. I had a stone break out the back of one of the oe fogs and since their effectiveness is pretty limited I decided to just delete them. I plan to use the abandoned wiring to power some LED lighting in the future.

Just replaced the cracked windshield.
The guy knew abour rivets and did a fantastic job. Very satisfied.
No affiliation at all but if you live in nortcoast, call George's glass in Fortuna. Came to my house on time and no BS.
I was surprised how much dirt and grime under the moldings that go upto the roof.
Found out that my AC clutch/pulley was wobbling and cut my serpentine belt. Currently waiting for shop time at my local shop to get it replaced and to check the neutral pressure on my AHC which never seems to want to stay in H even with my Slee override.
Cleaned TB and MAF. Almost certainly the first time they've been cleaned since new [I know, what a slacker].
Might be the best 45 minute job you can do if you have 100K or better and its not been done. Much improved throttle response and silky smooth idle. We'll see if mpg improves, but with 14.5 mpg average around town I'm not expecting much better than before.
Added TJM T3 and opted to leave the chrome hoop and rubber bump pads off. I was disappointed when I found out TJM discontinued the push pads for the T3 without the hoop mounts. I will have to find some plugs for some of the holes and paint them to match. Also added TJM torsion bars, shocks, and completed a bunch of 97K mile service.
Friday:
Rebuilt the rear diff actuator and added the slee skid for same. Poured some fresh redline into the t-case and some M1 into the rear diff while I was under there.
Saturday:
Broke the drivers mirror glass on a tree while having fun, not while working so it's all good... it broke then folded so I guess I am supposed to hit trees more slowly.
