With most of the sheet metal work done I began smoothing out the panels for Monsterliner.
Sorry for the late response, don't get on here as much as I would like.
You can run end to end. Direct light into the cab.
Thanks @rkymtnflyfisher!
You don't happen to remember how much lean you had before you mounted your tire and carrier? Long shot, but just curious to see how much the tire would change it. I know for my year it should be on the Left, but I thought if it changed the lean I could put it on the other side. Thanks.

Unfortunately I don't have any measurements before I put the carrier on, I was in the middle of a frame off rebuild when I stumbled on that carrier on CL. It really doesn't lean that much, nothing that is noticeable to most people, although if you look at my rear shackles you can see the driver side is squatting just a tad more than the passenger side.
Well here we go again. Tearing it down in prep for OD green monsterliner and some body Shutz on the inside of the tub. More to follow.....
Lunchtime activities. Added skin to the outside of the steel door. One more to go.
I dropped off my soft top frame at the powder coat shop

Fabricating 3” stainless exhaust.
I was bound and determined to run it inside the frame rail (and to keep as much as possible above the bottom of the frame).
Got the first half tacked together tonight; will start on the back half tomorrow.
Squeezing it between the frame rail and transfer case was *interesting*.
Flex pipe, post-turbo pyro bung, and resonator:
I’ve got to do some creative pie-cutting to get the pipe wrapped around the frame crossmember.
This is how much will be exposed below the frame. Hopefully I can design a skid plate that will protect it.

I've been working on a way to automate the fresh air door in the blower housing. I found this gadget used in 92-96 camry and es300 for the air door, a servo powered cable. (this one is a denso 063700-3590 but there are others similar to this) I had to move the pivot pin on the actuator output arm to get an extra 1/8" travel needed to move the door full open to full closed positions. It is controlled by reversing polarity (12Vdc) on pins 1 and 2. I can do that with a DPDT relay or design a solid state circuit, ultimately controlled with a push/pull on/off switch on the dash with the "fresh pull" knob. I figure I can mount this device to the firewall or behind the air duct. If anyone knows of a Toyota push/pull switch with DPDT contacts let me know.

That's really cool!
finally broke down and just did it
New seats, and painted the gauges. Installed a carb.. but having troubles..
Made Christmas cookies with the kids.
Well worth the 10 bucks or so... kids enjoyed customizing theirs... never too early to start...
How's the ride?

With the Bilstein shocks that lift rides pretty sweet, handles washboard roads and rough forest service roads better than my 08 4Runner did.
Wasn’t happy with my progress earlier so went back into the shop. Took advantage of the front being wide open and scrubbed it all down and applied a couple coats of Chassis Saver.
