Looks good Dane!

 

thanks zeroone... I didn't even think of disconnecting the headlight washer pump, so will definitely do that. The fog light tubes look like they are for nothing more than venting, so I'll just rip em' out.

 

Yep. The tubes are useless without the fogs.

 

Swapped out my old busted rear view mirror for a newer compass mirror that I bought from a member here.

 

Went to the Junkyard with my brother for his truck (because the shop had a last minute job so I couldn't start my bumper ), ended up talking to a few guys who worked there who led me to a Disco owner who also worked there who is going to buy a Fjz80 Land Cruiser for the yard to help me get a set of E-Locked Fjz80 Abs Axles for 150$ each under the condition that I show him when I'm finished lol, I'm pretty stoked. Also bought a genuine ladder from the junkyard so I'm getting it painted and putting it on soon.

 

Just replaced an alternator with bad bearings. Apparently it wasn't the only whine under the hood. So.. I ordered the new belt tensioner. Threw in magnaflow cats and exhaust and my rig is coming along swimmingly. Save for the wretched vibration.

 

Mostly "finished" with my rear bumper install. It was in pretty rough shape, had to strip it down to remove the surface rust and pealing existing coating. Resprayed it, replaced the mounting hardware and such. Now all that's left to do is replace the internals on the spindle as it had been taken apart at some point and reassembled wrong by whoever did it, so the bearing and such are ruined at the moment. Going to get replacements for that tomorrow.

 

New Nissins radiator installed. The calsonic rad that was in it was partially clogged. Little bit of mud in both tanks. Dexcool is also gone. Waiting for the tensioner, cats/y pipe, and new exhaust.

 

Went to Sand Mountain in Nevada this weekend. Truck did Awesome with my new tires and low air pressure. I went places none of the other trucks could go. It was really fun! Also had Quads and buggy's, and other stuff to ride. I haven't been there since I was about 5 years old.

More photos as soon as I can gather them from everyone.
