Mostly pricing and small stuff (mounted High Lift, painted bumper, installed Hella lights, made appointment to look at tires, bought 5 OEM wheels, redoing some Mickey Mouse wiring from PO), had a friend look at it (He's a metal crafter) and he's modifying a spare tire gas can holder for a jeep to fit the FJ40 spare tire holder.

Today: Fuel filter, stereo speakers, load rims for new wheels Tues or Wed, painting jerry cans (Sage green for gas, baby blue for water); painting glove box & ashtray sage green with black trim, a few other things. Ordered Tuffy center console.
 
Was working on the amp & speakers — run an amp to blue tooth transmitter & use iPhone for music and navigation. I finally found a blur tooth transmitter with a battery. This way if I turn the truck of, my phone doesn’t drop the WiFi connection even though the amp is off — battery life is supposed to be 8 hours. USB charging, so I can charge while in use. Mounted in under seat tool box

Plug and play on my 1970. Took all of 30 minutes, negotiating some stripped screws, etc. and the difference in drivability is wild. I don't love the look but our roads are littered with elk and deer so a no brainer. Highly recommend the City Racer kit.
 
Spent most of the afternoon trying to find either a Warn M47 replacement hub or a rebuild kit for same. No looking for what else might work
 
Saturday, I installed the Sanderson headers with a remflex(silicon is gross). Then had a productive, Sunday. Snagged the 68 from my dads, organized my garage and got the 5.3 into the engine bay. Now the fun begins.
