Nice looking Cruiser. Best color on a Cruiser and the color I plan to paint my truck.
Hit the DMV to get the annual tag for the cruiser thinking that I was late couple months paying the registration but the DMV clerk told me I already paid so he gave me a new tag 
Kalifornia cops are hungry nowaday, 60 of them just got laid off here in the city because of budget issues, they are looking to fine people for small infraction, there was TV program talked about cops stop people with a-month-old expired tags.

Installed a Be Cool radiator.
The stock radiator allowed the temp to climb to around 225* when idling around for extended periods of time.
New radiator keeps the temps down around 220* LOL... I think I need a shroud, I only have an electric fan at this point. (195* t-stat)

I drove it today
and, after pulling into the garage, found the wire to the back-up light on the rear bumper ripped off
installed new wire with heatshrink crimps
and then wrapped both taillight wires into wirelooms - I had been meaning to do that since 2006

Yes that is the plan. The spacer dimensions are here: Axle Widening Kit
Using hilux IFS hubs you can use the same free wheeling hubs.

Volt meter
Installed a Volt meter last week, because I suspect my generator or my voltage regulator is not working ok. We'll see.

Thank you!! I knew about being able to use the freewheeling hubs, but wasn't sure about how to set up the brakes.

Ok I have to ask, what are you using for wiper motors? Mine still work fine but if they do fail I would like a more modern easily replaceable option.
Don't Laugh it worked.
With the larger 33 inch itres, my speedo was running ~ 5-7 mph off at Highway speed. So when I fixed the odometer, I biased the speedo ~ 5mph ( mounted at 5 mph not 0).
At low speeds it is off, but where I care about it, 45-65 it is great! At 55 I am almost exactly on per the GPS
