Picked two 2.5gal shell t5 10w30 jugs for $15 each. Looks like they're clearencing em out

 

Put my CD player back into operation today. Had to remove the passenger seat, remove, open and replace the CD unit, but a simple fix. I heard many suggestions that I update the system with some more current technology, but that old stuff is the reason that there's a seventeen year old truck in my garage.

Now to chase down the leak in the sun roof.

 

Love those tires.

 

I got stopped by a Smyrna GA policeman for my rear lower brake lights not working. I told the cop those are fog lights that don't light up unless I hit the fog switch. He asked me why would Toyota have fog lights on their Land Cruisers? I cringed and said I have no idea.
He let me go after that. Ugh...

 

WOW... lol.. at least he let you go! I get people asking me all the time 'is that a Jeep?'

TODAY I picked Bertha up from the body shop (have been missing her all week) - had rust removed and patched/repainted inside the rear passenger door/wheel well area, had them take a look at my rocker panels (a little rust but not in need of repair yet), and also the front right pillar by the windshield (no rust thank god).. looks like I have a windshield leak that I'll have to tend to but at least it's not the pillar. They bathed and buffed her and made her look real pretty.. so much so she decided to throw the rear hatch door open while I was driving down the road. It's interesting how you take something in to get it fixed and leave with something else that needs attention.. I'm missing a black cap off of a bolt where the rocker panel skirting attaches and the carpet is sticking up where it should be hidden under the plastic panel cover. Eh.. at least the corrosion is gone - for now. They did great color matching too at a very reasonable price.

 

Pulled my rad to flush it and clean the fins. It was badly blocked and the fluid in the bottom portion of the rad was pretty gross. Tomorrow I'll put her back together with a new 180* t-stat and some new new fluid. Last time I did a coolant flush was about 3000 km ago when I did the water pump.



I also have a factory "2" switch for front driving lights. Do these switches hold on or do I need to create a holding circuit for it? When I play with the switch, it doesn't lock into position, same as the front and rear fog switches.

 

Those are momentary switches. They don't lock on. You could probably change the face plate on a cruise control switch though, since those ones do lock.

 

So they go through the body control module? Is there a spare circuit in the for lights? Or just the G4 trucks that had factory driving lights?

I guess I can find a cruise switch and swap the face too

 

My rover has an odd leak...

 

Finally finished up the heads, gaskets and valve cover project after 6.5 months of sitting in my garage with the engine torn apart and even got a quick wash. Now onto the rest of my list of things to do to it!
