Got my seats back!
These are the stock seats, I had them rebuilt by a local upholstery shop!
$850 for the two front seats.
Better look at the pattern
It's not OEM. But its close, and they are SOOO much better than my old worn out ones.

Changed the oil and replaced the oil cooler gasket. It was a pain to get out and broke into pieces but did it without removing the coolant lines. I'm slowly tackling the leaks. Did the valve covers a week ago so hopefully this is it! Also took her on the beach last weekend ☺

*Removed the radiator grill, removed the car horns to prep for the trans. cooler install:

I decided that the current radiator is still good, for now, and so I opt'd out of replacing it today (though I had a OEM radiator on stand-by). Instead, I removed the 4 bolts and was able to clear enough room to install the trans. cooler. - I had to pull the radiator back, carefully without any damage to the fins, and fasten it with a bungee cord to keep it back far enough so I can reach down to install the cooler:

Found the ideal set up, that everyone seems to use, and pushed the provided zip ties through the ac:

As you can see here, you can get away with the install without removing the radiator:

I decided to connect the tubing from the radiator end and then guide it to the cooler to have a good length fit. Installed the inlet hose on the bottom and the outlet on the top of the cooler:

I already noticed a difference when I was driving around today and found that my temps were 30-40 degrees cooler :car:
*Finally, a new pic without the cringe Amazon roof rack that the previous owner installed.

nice work. I would take a piece of heater hose, slice it adn wrap it around the hoses where they go throgh the core support to keep it from cutting into the cooler hoses, but thats just me. Also glad you added the magnafine, I do too.
otherwise, nice work and nice looking truck

*That is a great idea considering that I can imagine the vibrations and eventual movements may cause rubbing of the heater hose and potential cracking/tearing over time from the contact it makes against the steel. - I am going to reconstitute an old scuba snorkel and fabricate a rubber sleeve for the hoses :rockon:

I love that fabric. I used to work at a seat cover place and it was one of my favorites that we used. Seats look great!Got my seats back!
These are the stock seats, I had them rebuilt by a local upholstery shop!
$850 for the two front seats.
Better look at the pattern
It's not OEM. But its close, and they are SOOO much better than my old worn out ones.

FINALLY got it back on the road after a complete suspension rebuild. The difference is astonishing. About to hit 270,000 miles, and it rides as smoothly as my girlfriend's 2015 Acura SUV.
Finally, after several attempts at re-engineering the factory cruise control bracket, I decided to just direct mount the cruise module under my air raid intake in order to make way for my power distribution platform. I also finished one of the power distribution modules, though I haven't decided if this unit is going to be my rear module or if it will be located with the main distribution platform in the engine bay, which is why not all of the wires are not yet sleeved. I also have some actual Bosch relays that I plan on using, but for the time being, I just stuck the relays in there that came w/ the kit. I plan to do a mock-up with foam board this week and then build the platform with Lexan.

A place in Hurricane UT called Bryan's Upholstery
That's pretty cool, is it just a kickplate protector or does it have some other function too?
