What have you done to your rig today?

[IH8RUST]

Y'all, as someone who's never done 4-wheeling, but aspired to do it, I get it. I genuinely get it.
Took my boy, did the easy Mount Herman Road to break her in, good lord, it crawls easy peasy. We loved every bit of it.

My face is a testament to a year's wait.

Installed the non-DOT headlight kit from Toyota in my FJ40. AT $38 List, it's the deal of the century with 2 headlights, bulbs, and the wiring harness. P/N 81110-60P70.

Both of the his and hers dialed in and ready

Knitty Gritty got a new fuel tank and sending unit courtesy of @Capriblue45 thanks Mike!

Along with new fuel pump, brakes and steering thoroughly bled, steering pump pulley and put the 305 Coopers back on.

The OffRoadAcado got a front replacement shock, and did some wiring clean up in my dash to repair some ugly splices. I should probably air up the tires.

 

[Capriblue45]

Glad the tank could go to a good home.

topless time.

Got the Troopy through emissions today and went to the DMV and got my new plates. I told the tech who put it on the rollers to drive it like they stole it and not to short shift it. Pretty sure that plus the corn juice made all the difference.

Rebuilt the knuckles on the 71. Well, I rebuilt one side while Neecee did the other side. All the hard brake lines suck.

 

[IH8RUST]

I said screw it and attempted to repair the OEMs. It’s far from perfect but it’ll do.

 

[IH8RUST]

Also, took the old school knob, made it work on the new shifter, it looks a million times gooder.

finished my Molle panel setup in the Tacoma

One of the best mods to my 200 was to getthe Android style head set. Basically a Google tablet that integrates into your car electronics

Within Wifi you can connect to the internet.

My phone was not able to connect as a hot spot for some reason, so I loose internet which while driving really just impacts Google Maps or Wazee etc as the download map option doesnt seem to work long term

Off line once maps are loaded you can run Gaia or other topo map products. You can also load and listen to your music library, watch videos and anything else you can do with a Android Tablet off line.

Android Auto in my BMW Z4 and now my Tacoma is nice. Who needs connectivity to the car wifi you can run Android Auto (or Carplay)

I was thinking I would have to Upgrade to a newer tablet. They now run wireless Android Auto and Wireless Carplay and have gone from Android 9 in my unit to Android 13

Then I just spent the best $4.99 ever. I found an app that runs on my tablet giving me the connectivity, at least with the phone plugged in. I haven't played with the detailed options to see if I can get it to go wirelessly. heck to save $800, I can plug the phone in

Here it is running while out and about today. It likely has a few issues that I am sure I will discover over time

 

[IH8RUST]

This one came out even better than the other, can’t even tell there’s a mesh wire beneath. Plasti Dip for the final coast before I figure out the embossing paint.

 

[Roborado]

I put a lift and level kit on my 5th gen 4runner. 3" in the front 1.5" in the back.

I also did some body work on my '64 FJ40 (over the winter) and got those pieces bolted back on.

 

[Corbet]

I don’t always service my trailer hubs before a trip but when I do I wait for the last minute. Both castle nuts were loose and came off by hand.



And I installed some sweet mud flaps while the wheels were off.

Did you shorten the wire to the second headlight? The thing is so long, you can run it around the rig and back!

 

[SteveH]

No, I wadded up the wire and put a zip tie around it and tucked it by the driver's side headlight. You wonder what Toyota vehicle has the headlights 96" apart, for which this was designed ;-).

Here’s my attempt, I'll sleeve it, and now there's less harness to tuck away.

Just an fyi, but if this is your finished connection it looks like the solder never melted in your connectors.

I'm not done, don't have a good way to connect to the battery, so it's sitting unfinished right now.
