Finishing touches on a lot of upgrades/ maintenance last few weeks.

2016+ brake upgrade
new radiator
Transmission fluid change
Globes
Sliders
Hit 100k
3rd row removal
Reorganized my vline wiring
Windshield chip repair
ODB reader for trans temps while towing
Tire rotation

And tonight fresh oil, filter, intake and cabin filters. Reinstalled all my roof junk. Pretty well buttoned up for a while hopefully.

Loading up the Conqueror and heading to Silverton in less than a week.

Don't' often post but just finished a clay bar and hand wax of wife's daily. 2013 with 67k. Just can't justify in my mind for the price of that new TTV6 LX yet. May just pay up for a late LC V8 when I am ready to trade.

Just finished this job this am as well. Although mine has 240k and I’m not sure if they have been changed as the bolts didn’t show signs of being out. 6/8 were not tight, little more than finger tight.. maybe I’ll pick up like .2mpg
Also tidied up some Wire and got ready for the light on the roof tent.

Knocked out my first oil change yesterday and installed the Jowett performance filter housing and drain pan valve. Switched to 5w-30, TRD oil filter, and the blue Lexus 5w-30 cap. The Jowett stuff didn’t come with any instructions but I was able to figure it out. It was a mostly smooth process.

Below is an actual picture of the last guy who changed the oil filter on my truck.

Added a 270 awning and roof sarcophagus I found on FB marketplace. Also took out the ADGU platform and put the third row back in for a trip to CO/OK that will see me carrying more people than gear.

which components did you the 303 on? I have mainly used it for non automotive related things like outdoor furniture

Pretty popular to use on plastics in the dirt biking community.

Plastic parts, like air and fuse boxes.

I love 303, great for uv protection particularly on trim. Its like Franks red hot... I put that sh*t on everything.

I need to commission you to come redo my under hood wiring. That looks amazing!

Did you have to email them for price? All I see is pictures on the site.

In November of '22 the total cost for the ones with the tie-down rings was $208 AUS for a set. Today google says that's $141, but not sure if the AUS pricing is the same or if inflation/globalization has affected that.

Geez, for a tie down, that’s some pricy plastic.

Installing some rear LX shock spacers, and had to space the swaybar bracket down to account. Thank you Australia!

Looks amazing. Can you describe your process?

Looks amazing. Can you describe your process?

Put a tarp over the entire engine bay. Then sprayed the hood and mat to get all the mud and dust off. Let it all drain off tarp on to driveway.
Put plastic bags over ARB compressor, fuse box and Redarc SBI. Stuffed a plastic bag down around alternator.
Disconnected negative terminals on both batteries.
Used pressure washer on low setting, short little blasts. (less water than a garden hose)
Removed engine cover and panel above radiator. Easier to pressure wash those on driveway.
Sprayed some degreaser where needed. Used soft brush dipped in car wash shampoo around all wires, hoses and tight spots.
Another quick low pressure rinse.
Remove bags. Used Master Blaster to blow dry with warm air.
Apply Adams to rubber hoses and 303 to all plastic.
Took a few hours but it was long overdue.
