Finally got to putting the roof back on the rain gutter. So much work building up to this. Rivets, self leveling sealer, paint and then I'm washing my hands with it.

Nice Chevy truck in the background.
I'm doing the same on my top.

Love the leather seat booster. Sorry don't know the actual name to them. My dad always had them in his trucks.

It's called a respaldo...you can find them on eBay for $60.00 or so.

Thats looks alright, did you use a standard filler or an alli filler.. l'm tempted to do mine in the summer..

I used USC garage SMC/fiberglass filler. And glthe same glaze. If you have any questions let me know but it is a lot of work if your going to do it all correctly.

I wanted to color the steering column for weeks, and it turned out pretty good!

What liner do you have sprayed on the inside of the tub?

I ended up spraying a Rhino liner mixed with the Toyota 621 paint. I have a small non-Toyota mat on each side...

It looks good. I might do the same for my front drivers and passengers floor pan I replaced.

I paid $880.00 for the Rhino liner from the front all the way to the back ...

Unfortunately not for semi-float 40/45/55/60 rears - unless something has changed. I called and bugged them again recently but they'd rather make new products for vehicles that are manufactured in the hundreds of thousands. Like a Prado.

I have more hope for Auburn Gear to come through as they make electric lockers now too. They even make rebuildable clutchpack limited slip-to-lock versions for some vehicles. Many of their products are still made in house in small batches and they're still a small enough company to listen. They'd need a lot of input from potential buyers but they've indicated that a rear electric locker for older LCs is on their radar.

What did I do to my LC today?

I unlocked the hubs. Not sure we'll get much snow this week.

I like how the struts are out of the way on that kit. A lot of the struts setups hamper side entry into the engine compartment. More often than not, I lean it all the way up on the windshield. This is fine- unless it’s windy.

How does the wind affect the hood staying up?

I like the central strut, but this is how I did mine.

Gas charged Hood & Hatch strut retrofit

There are lots of threads that mention hatch struts. Thanks to what others have posted I've came up with the following. Parts needed: Rivnut tool: 50lb gas strut x2: The Result:

This makes me feel better about my oil pressure

That’s the norm on 2.0 as well. I chalk it up to analog gauges (and a prayer)..

What happens if you pull the Do Not Pull knob?

 

[charliemeyer007]

It hand throttles into a nitro burning racing tractor! Or the PTO engages and metal twists up.

Ejects the passenger

Was that a factory option or something aftermarket. I could see that coming in handy.

Oh she's a beauty but that convo is for another forum.
