Rewired the battery charger so I can hopefully get this thing started up and moved back around to the front. Then I'm going to steal the manual hubs off it and put them on the 4runner while I'm installing the LT kit.

Tube Doors are on. I think I'm gonna paint the chrome mirrors and the latches.

Every now and then I get off my ass and do some more landscaping and it gets a little smaller. I bet it's gone this time next year, .

If you get rid of it too soon what will you test all your mad flex on when you build up the new rigs?!?!

Damn good idea,

I think I'll go get some Walmart flood lights this week to replace those damn things

 

[Anathollo]

Oh I was totally kidding lmao.

It'll actually be kinda nice to have those on for night wheeling... at least we can see where your roof is

I painted the latches on my tube doors. I also added adjustable stoppers to prevent them from rattling.

 

[AlienXtx]

My truck looks good with the tube doors, still not as good as your lift on my truck but its getting there...

 

[texasislandboy]

I was gonna try to add those today. What did you get and where did you get it?

 

[drew02a]

You can't get rid of delux, how else are we going to control the mosquito population

I took it for a short drive to the gas station today. After charging the battery up all the way and running it for awhile yesterday, it started right up and ran halfway decent all the way there.

 

[texasislandboy]

time to take it for a real drive!

 

[drew02a]

time to take it for a real drive!

I need to reinstall the seat belts and get it aligned first.

 

[drew02a]

Took a page from Sean's book and added some door stops to minimize the rattling around

Still need to clean it up and add some paint, but they work pretty well.
