    Full interior ext detail as well. Then took the cover off and started building a rack to sit it on in the building to suspend it. Still gotta figure out a one man removal system since I almost dropped it this time.

    I did the valve yeasterday too. Did you use the paper gasket that came w/ it?

    Funny my fiance has a jeep too, and for some reason she "lets" me do all the work too......

    I did use the supplied gasket.

    Oh yeah, she'll "let" me work on it. Now she thinks she wants to build it so she can go wheeling. I can't wait for her to start buying parts and expecting me to install them. Can you sense the sarcasm? :D

    Quick idea that just hit me.... hope you can follow my idea.

    Have 2 pipes that run parallel to each other that are placed so one is directly over the sides of the shell. Then have cables attached to the pipes at each corner. (this is hard part to figure out exactly how) Have the two pipes connected via rope,cable,chain,rubber band (lol) Then figure out a way to turn one of the pipes, and since they are connected both pipes will raise and lower the cables that will lift/lower the shell.

    I used mine too, but added a bit of black RTV.


    Yeah, mine bought it w/ a lift, added tires etc, but now wants the same thing. "Babe, if I get a XXXXXXX can you put it on?"

    Performed maintenance at 150k miles. Had overlooked the pcv valve this whole time. It wasn't clogged but it also didn't rattle like the new one.

    Awesome. After I saw your post I ordered up a pair. Only 22 hour later I had them installed in my truck. :laugh: I like them a lot, reminds me of daylight.

    It's a 6" combo spot/flood and it works great. I can't justify spending all that money on a 20 or 30" lightbar. I'll be adding some amber fogs at some point, Dually floods.

    Installed a new K&N filter. Got it for free :D. I know some of you prefer another brand, but this one was brand new in the box. My brother had got it to put in his lady's 4runner, but it already had one so he gave it to me.

    Also got a free Reese trailer hitch as well since my Taco didn't have one.

    I was going to change all my switch bulbs over to white LEDs but the LEDs I ordered are too long and mess with the switch actuation.
