What have you done to your rig today?

[PhatFJ]

GX470 work

Picked up an 04 GX470 a while back.
Finally got the following installed.
3" Boss 2.5 coil overs.
Boss rear shocks with super flex coils.
DOM rear lower control arms.
Total Chaos upper control arms.
Cooper ST Maxx tires 255/80/17.
Level-8 MK6 wheels.

Update: Forgot to give a shout out to ToyTec for all the help with this lift... Thanks guys!! Also, they give a discount for club members.. Great service and support of their products. Used them on our 08 FJ Cruiser as well...

As soon as I got it fired up, the joy of ol' two buck was back....in the form of stuck throttle cable burnouts

^Are you not expecting the airborne red paint to settle on that exposed windshield? Or are you just going to take a straight blade to it once done?

Commonly referred to by the road racing crowd as "The Red Mist": When you suddenly start making poor decisions in the last moment/laps and exceed your abilities....usually resulting in a car crash.

I think the truck just got named.

Red mist is absolutely appropriate...it's everywhere!

The windshield is pretty cracked so I wasn't too worried about it.

I dug into my rear panels to access my rear window regulator on the kick out windows on the 100. It had come loose giving me a whistle and it allowed water in during the last car wash. Nice to get done.

Running wire for the HAM, back up camera, coax, and rear lights to the tailgate from the cockpit... Lots of work just to hide the wire

Lots of work just to hide the wires

LoL
It always is.

started tearing down for engine rebuild

 

[HoneyBadger]

I've been very busy the past two weeks working on my new drawer system in the bed of my truck. Some may recall I posted about one I had built about three years ago. It was made of aluminum and screwed together with self tapping screws and also a good deal of rivets were used to hold things together. However, after three years and thousands of miles bouncing around Colorado trails, it finally fell apart. So now I've made an all new one that has two drawers, a rear hatch, a forward hatch over the right hand tool drawer, and a tool rack to hold my high lift, axe, and shovel, etc.
Anyways, he are a couple pics.

I will be making some separators for the drawers to keep everything tidy. The right hand drawer will be for tools. I'll keep my sockets, ratchets, wrenches, etc in there. The left hand drawer will have recovery gear, camping gear, etc in it.

I looked at my 4runner in the garage. I started it a few weeks ago.
