i did recover the original on in my 2007.
i bought the cover on eBay.

also, I bought h66 vinyl & leather adhesive. Highly recommend

 

I wish I had a non-nav truck so I could do a phone mount like that.

 

A bit of routine maintenance yesterday - new front brake rotors, pads, guide pins, boots. And replaced front driver side outer tie-rod end. Tried out my Maddox MF15 vacuum pump for the first time, to bleed the Brake lines - seems to work ok (creates an air-tight vacuum). But my first impression is that the lines could probably be bled a lot quicker if someone else was available to work the brake pedal.

 

I have the non nav but I want to know if it messes with wireless charging

 

Got new struts and the sya kit installed.

Found a destroyed sway bar link so I got that replaced with a Lemforder. That upper nut was in it to win it. That thing fought me for every turn.



Then it was time to get some trail coms installed. So we have a ham that covers GMRS as well. Its like it was meant for the spot.





Than I needed to look at where my solenoid pack was going to live. I have been staring at that ARB bumper I put on my customers truck and started digging the placement of the pack so I fabbed up a bracket.



I did a gusset on the back once it's done and painted I think it will fit right in.

While I was working on this and pulling/shipping parts I also got after a aftermarket grill I have.



It was all gray so a little bit of work later and I am super happy with the outcome. Need to decide if I am putting back the black and silver Land Rover Emblem or the Green and Gold.

 

Fresh engine oil and filter changed, passenger side door latch replaced, rear diff fluid changed, new primary and secondary serpentine belts replaced with new tensioners and idlers, steering tie end replaced, spark plugs replaced, wheel alignment done.

 

Looks as it’s done, but it’s supposed to be facing towards the rear of the vehicle. Twist it 90 degrees clockwise.

 

Buttoned it all up, oil change, new struts, SYA Kit, valve block refresh, HAM radio, and my personnel favorite, inside winch control. Couple more little things before I leave for SCARR on Wednesday. Feeling optimistic the whole list will get knocked out.

 

Arrived at 200,000 a few days ago. Considering an engine oil change at this point, even though it's apparently 'Lifetime'...

No where does it state that engine oil is a lifetime fill, i think you mean trans fluid and even thats incorrect.
