Threw my back out tightening lca cam bolts because i was pissed the alignment shop could not get them torqued for 3rd time. Now they costed me my health and I'm super pissed!!
 
At 146k miles, this weekend saw new spark plugs and plug wires. Trying to hunt down all maintenance items before lifting, armor, etc.
 
Getting her ready for a road trip to Yucaipa to visit some friends then to Newport Beach for a mini vacation.

Spent a couple hours at the shop last night cutting metal for my sliders. Just need to make my mounts and they should go on this week.

What model Scion stereo is that? How do you like it?

Pioneer T1806, pulled from an '06 xB. I like it a lot. It blends in well with the center console (the knobs match my climate controls) and it sounds a lot better than my original factory stereo. The color changing screen is a nice bonus too.
 
Drove back from an extended visit to south Texas on my new tires, 265/65/17 Dunlop Grandtrek AT20's. Finally fixed my radio's welcome message (no longer says Scion ha) and I came across a stow away; hornet/wasp tryna set up shop in my door jamb. He had to go.

And I know it's not a 3rd Gen, but I had to share this cool looking 1st Gen I saw on my way outta town. I like the bold color!

any issues installing the scion stereo? did you keep the amp? plug and play?
i am getting the same one.
 
Installed some new Halogens. This time I went with a set of bulbs that are just slightly brighter than stock and should last a long time. I'm tired of changing my "ULTRA SUPER WHITE BRIGHTEST EVER" Halogens every couple months when they start to dim because the filaments are being over-driven. If I need more light I'll just flick on my LED bar :)

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! How do you like having the hitch mounted winch situation? Pros/cons?

I don't know yet as I just got it up and running today. That front hitch without a winch has come in handy a number of times, that I can tell you.
Since we've got two trucks the portable winch seemed like the best route- sharing is caring!
I can carry it and put it on the truck by myself.
Being able to winch from either end may also be useful at some point?
Anderson connectors can be used for other electric too, maybe eventually.

Haven't come across the cons yet, will need more experience.
 
installed scion stereo. looks and sounds great. way better than original.

3D printed this little bushing to keep my vent from falling over. Oem replacement is like $40 cause you need to get the whole vent. Win!!! [emoji1][emoji1]
 
got black tokico shocks in the back, way better than the OME 60073 "comfort shocks", esp. with 8wraps....and got poly sway bushings on front and back...
next up valve cover gaskets plugs wires filters air/fuel sensor and 295/70s in either nitto trail grappler or cooper stt pro on black TEP wheels
