Summer is coming quick, which means I've got a lot of work to do!
I'm planning the following for this summer:
Rock Therapy (May 27-31)
Colorado Toyota Meet (June 21)
Moab Trip (July 26 - August 2)
Colorado Toyota Jamboree (August 7-9)
Before all of that actually happens, here's what I'm planning to get done:
- Front bumper (paint + mount), should be here before mid-May.
- Repaint rear bumper and CB mount (look at picture below)
- Decide between swingout/back/roof rack and then make/buy that
- Absolutely need a winch before the Jamboree
- Sliders are also very necessary
- Trim fenders? Inside, when the tires flex with the spacers, it hits right on the edge of the fender behind the flares
Maintenance items that need attention:
- Steering rack is still leaking. Probably needs to be replaced sometime..
- Hood flexes at the mounting bracket now. Reinforce if possible, otherwise sport hood
- Unsure if my CB is working/grounded/tuned correctly. Only been able to test with one person (who's CB is also questionable) and it didn't work very well
- Looks like one of my CVs might have a tiny rip. Just gotta make sure it doesn't get any bigger..
Here's what this winter did to my bumper:
A poor picture but it's still pretty visible. The paint is really starting to go quickly now, but it's 100% expected as it was simply primered and sprayed, nothing fancy. Just need to grind it off, paint, and repeat every few months!
So yeah, expect some bigger things to come in the next month or two. Can't wait for all of these exciting events!
