Did my weekly PMCS on the Jeep and found my coolant recovery tank had a small leak towards the bottom. Pulled the tank and inspected it and found the previous owner had fixed a leak with RTV sealant and that fix has failed. Ordered up a new one for 18 dollars should be here next week. Went ahead and vacuumed out the interior and wiped everything down with cleaner and called it good for the day.
Took a little rode up to the top of a Lil mountain here close to home. We didn't camp but we took some take out and reheated. I spent the afternoon looking around the valley.
This sits in the middle of a valley. It is amazing.
A bit of snow and mud (some ice). But easy as pie.
Happy weekend.
No bad days

I uninstalled the 60” LED tailgate strip I had. It was faded and only 1/4 of it could be really seen since now my Wilco tire carrier is covering most of the rear.
Ran Old NC 105 with my wife and a friend. Leaf looking at its best.

You done good ! You don't need the rear muffler, should sound better without it. I replaced my front right and left window regulators Friday. It's Nice to have operatable windows ! Now to find out why I dont have stop lights ! All fuses are good and all bulbs are good ???

No pics, but I’ve tracked down the full extent of the 125 amp cabin power feeder that was cut when my rig was “demilled”. The hacking wasn’t as bad as I imagined and I have all the needed parts to restore it when I want to power a frig or more.
next up is to finish tracking down the rest of the small 60 amp feed.

I made an axe mount. Bought generic mounts from Amazon then attached it a piece of wood I painted black and attached in-between shell and bed.

Installed a Morryde Tailgate Reinforcement this weekend. Had to drill out & cold chisel the rear pax seatbelt bolt, that was fun (a chunk of steel anchors the upper inside hinge bolts to one of the roll bar torx bolts). All previous bare metal prepped & painted prior after removing oe hinges. New Rock Hard 4x4 rear bumper ordered after discovering the swing shaft prevents full door swing (rather not cut/destroy it in case someone local wants to buy the bumper & tire carrier). The single sock is to prevent damaging the powder coat while climbing in & out working on the inside festivities.
The Reinforcement is beefy, not worried about hanging 2x3gal Rotopax and trasharoo on the spare tire! Spare tire is secure after adjusting the snubbers.
The Fox front adjustable reservoir shocks and steering damper on the floor are next...

Do you have a link to those mounts by chance?
Thanks. The big problem was I was at work, used my lunch and break times to get the sunroof closed. I will eventually want to find some new sunroof motors. But for now I just want them closed.
I agree about the rear Muffler, it sounds good and is still very quiet.
Good luck with the lights. Wish I could help.

Not exactly too my rig, more like rig adjacent. I finished a workbench project that I've been working on. Got all of my excess camping gear put into storage. Then began preparing to install the winch on my wife's Jku.

In the middle of installing a front and rear camera for my Tacoma, I can switch them any time I want.

I shipped my Land Rover from Colorado to North Carolina this morning. Usually, Land Rovers are on the back of trailers for different reasons

Thought I would contribute and give you guys a good chuckle. I’m a girl - an older girl - and bought a 2019 4-Runner Off Road. LUV it. Took it to s 4x4 Park and had s blast using all its abilities. Realized when looking at the original sticker it came with skid plates as standard gear - but I didn’t see any. I was thinking of the kind that wrap up to the bumper / that you can see. So I took it back to the dealership wanting to know where my skid plates were. Well I discovered it’s a single plate bolted to the frame and isn’t visible from the front (even though it’s lifted). Learn something new every day

Mine aren’t readily visible either. Until you drop a flashlight or tool under the hood, and it doesn’t come out the bottom.
