Thanks you guys! Thanks! Yeah it has definitely been quite the adventure so far, and a great learning experience with my dad.

Thanks for pointing that out. Somehow I missed it too. I added it back in, but they are 4.88s.

I have custom seat bracket extensions in mine. As for the arm rest, some 80s have a double lid type console with leather on the top which should be pretty easy to source. I happen to have a single lid with a tray area, but my brother has the other.

Thanks. The bed liner I mentioned is by Rustoleum. I have it on my flares, rear bumper wings, rear cross member, receiver, rocker panels, and low portion of the door jambs...

I cannot remember the shop owners name, but it was done by Axle Transmission, & Transfers on 3244 North Lewis. Thanks! It's pretty amazing looking back at the old photos and seeing where it is now. Ask and you shall receive...

4.88s and New Body Mounts While the Depos sat on a shelf awaiting bulbs and relays for their install, these showed up...some new 4.88s! After spending a day pulling the thirds, I took them to a shop in Tulsa where they charged $400 to set up both which I felt was reasonable because multiple...

Depo Headlight Install So after having the unsealed headlights on for 3 or so months, I filled the passenger headlight and blew the bulbs while driving up a river. Instead of opening them up and replacing bulbs, I figured I would buy some Depo headlights for $206 on eBay. It had been...

Hopefully this picture helps answer your question. I can get more if you would like, but I'm not really sure what else to take pics of. The belt is a Gates TR22720.

Headlight Disassembly and Cleaning This is something I wish I had done back when the paint was completed. At the time, I was debating on purchasing some Depos, but decided to clean the OEM headlights and buy depos if I happened to crack a lens. Looking back at photos with the clear corner...

Thanks! This compressor itself was off a mid 80s Jeep Grand Wagoneer. A new clutch had to be purchased for about $100 to fit the larger belts of the Land Cruiser. I'll take some pictures later today when I have a chance. For the belt, I found the length by running a string though all of the...

York OBA system and Rear Storage My dad read online about someone else using a York 210 compressor out of an old Volvo for a belt driven air compressor. Mounting it is the tricky part. My dad desmogged the truck awhile ago, and the compressor went right where the smog pump was. A custom...

Thanks! The front camera is powered by the lower valence lights...I pulled the bulbs out because the lights annoyed me and they served no purpose. Once there is power going to the camera, I just click AV-1 on the head unit's menu and it opens up the camera.

It's right in the between of Ouray and Silverton opposite of Black Bear Pass...up on CR550 if I remember correctly.

Head Unit Part 2 With another video input spot on the back of the head unit, I couldn't let it go to waste. I found a 170 degree non-mirrored camera without parking lines on eBay to mount on the front bumper. I also got a flush mount USB/AUX extension that I plugged into the back of the head...

Head Unit, Speakers, and Cameras After dealing with the poor sound quality and lack of features on the head unit for years, I got a Kenwood DDX470 head unit and four Kicker KS65 series speakers. I wanted some speakers that looked stealthy and went with the overall look. I didn't want some...

Tent and First Trip With the tent finally on, I was dying to set it up. The annex was a PITA to put on the Mt. Bachelor. Instead of zipping on like the larger tents, you have to slide runners all around the outside and remove the tent cover. I slept in the tent the next couple of nights...

Thanks! I haven't stated posting about the supercharged Corvette motor swap yet...jk. Yeah, it is slow, but it could be slower. It really bugs me when people with the 1FZ-FE complain about it being slow, or even when people with the 2UZ-FE complain about slowness. Just wait until you drive...

I love my Ironman lift. I have never had an OME so I can't make a comparison. Originally I had the Nitro gas shocks, but then ended up with some Foam Cells hoping to stiffen up the body when I put my roof rack and roof top tent on. I too have wondered about front recovery points. I've seen those...

Roof Rack Part 3 Shortly before finishing the rack, my CVT tent showed up. In order to help out the little bit of power the 3FE produces and save some much needed fuel mileage, we built an even larger fairing that can be removed completely or pivot out of the way when the tent is deployed...

Roof Rack Part 2 Prior to constructing the roof rack, I removed the OEM Toyota roof rack and filled all the holes with JB Weld Steel Stick except for one. I saved one in the front so I would be able to run the light bar wires into the truck. Then I bondo'd over the holes and fixed some hail...
