Crazy how much better parts look and feel coming out a toyota/Lexus OEM box even if just some spark plugs.

Installed the retrofit I built last night. Still need to tweak the adjustment (passenger side is too low).

Only broke one grille clip! :D

Finished up the wiring on my headlamps washer retrofit.

That looks pretty slick! Just like it was meant to be there! Godd thing you have the fat lip bumper, all pre- 98's don't have the spacer--- like mine.


Lookin' good! Did you get the filler neck issue sorted?

ah not really. Need to find a cap as well. I'll live without cruise control for the near future.

Where did you end up putting the pump and tank?

Awesome, give us some pics..
 
Wow. CL find? Nice one.

Parting most of it out?

Actually it was my cousin's and he made me a crazy deal. Gonna fix it up and make it my daily driver. At least that is the plan for now. lol

The body is super straight, and the interior is not torn up but really dirty. Mechanically needs some love but nothing over the top.
 
Wasn't today, but Friday....

The water supply to my house has sprung a huge leak, and it runs across a field. The repair man got very very stuck.

Only the second time I've needed a winch in 10 years, and it was for recovering someone else. It's slightly steeper than it looks, but the van was full of heavy tools, and sank.

ill post this here, even though i posted it on my thread

sooooo....





new rotopax gas can.




hmmmm...


So first time i had to use my winch lol. The funny thing is. I made through this same spot with out a locker, only in 4WD. Someone must have rutted the crap out of it. I was like 1/2" from getting water inside the truck!!!





Then i started doing my 2nd grill. Satoshi v2. First one fell out, and i ran it over. Knowing already how to make this grill. I found a new grill form Amazon for $50 shipped NOT CHROME!!!!!! I CAREFULY cut out the center, saving the side walls!!!! only 2 little holes i had to patch because theres no way around. But I noticed a lot of times that people get a big hole from removing the thick center piece. I cut it down and left about 1/4" of it. Then sanded it down with a dremmel! Work out beautifully. Much stronger and better.




So i had very very little fiberglass to do. I am taking my sweet time with this. I put blue painters tape behind, so everything holds better when doing fiberglass. Then today i did the other side for support









And the fun begins!!! :doh:

New bearing kit for my rear. Koyo bearings. I'll be reusing the old oem shims. As the gears are good.






for anyone wanting a cheap none chrome grill

Finally started my revival.
Last night this AM tackled Valve cover gaskets, tune up, tundra brake up, and pretty much front suspension over haul
