Right on. You got a pic of the gauges installed?

Passed my smog test. It's a big deal here. Went and got my real hard license plates. Ordered my Corolla condenser fan. Picked up my Chevy fan clutch. Weekend projects.

That is a great looking truck!

Went to work on one of my spare diffs. Popped out the RotoFlex centering pin. A 4 bolt flange, a little red LocTite, and 100nm later and I've got a usable spare. Now it's in a 5 gallon bucket in my shed with the other diffs.

Put in my new fan clutch. Fixed my window ecu. Fixed my rear driver window regulator using home made roller. Reconnected the rear sway bar. Headed to the desert tonight to grill up some hot dogs and drink a few beers as the sunsets.

swapped out the heim joints on my rear 7100s, they made it sound as though the truck was going to fall apart. dumped in a thing of one shot in both my swivel housings and started prepping for the VOLR. through on my winch and a few other little things and ill be set. on another note, does anyone know if a twin size air mattress will fit in the truck if i take the rear seats out?

Default window regulator was catching and popping

Fixed and improved for under $1.50 - see my post on the method.
Yesterday, fixed both sunroofs and tried the rear window ecu solder fix, but failed. There may be other issues other that the ring around the solder point.
Did get to put on a better dash pod, cleaner wood trim (no cracks) and new wheels and tires! all from the now defunct donor car.

Nothing too big. Just changed the fuel filter and spark plugs. Are NGK-R copper series the go-to plug for these? That's what was in it and what I replaced them with. Just curious what everyone else has found luck with.

Next weekend will be tackling changing out the wheel and swivel bearings. Got the rebuild kit on order so hopefully it arrives on time.
