    yea the inconvenient truth... I wasn't sure how china made its was into this convo, I didn't know TJM was manufacturing there.


    I was under the impression TJM was manufacturing their stuff both over in Australia and now here in the states...

    i was saying that, my guess was USA made would be cheaper than Aussie made.

    for sure China beats both...

    Forgot to add last week's upgrade, but about 6 months after replacing the passenger side seat leather I finally got around to redoing the driver side!

    Seats look good. How much of a pain in the dick was that?

    Replaced my power antenna with a OE replacement from this place. Forgot to put the antenna down before going through a car wash! Took myself and my 7yr old less than 5 minutes to swap out. All we had to do was extract the old, which the teeth were fully entact, and pull the new one in by pushing the down button on the mast control. She had a blast, and asked what else she can fix!!!!

    Also updated the rear wiper arm with a newer model LX version. Realized after that the contact patch wasn't quit as wide so I may replace the blade to something larger eventually.

    Damn the 100 looks nice. Kind of want one more and more. Would be good for my 80+ mile daily commute.

    Not much done lately, been a busy boy!!!
    Although, I did finally add some window visors! Love the windows down and fresh air, but with all this rain lately they became more of a necessity!!!

    IMG_20190518_202229.jpg

    Projects still to come...
    Steering rack bushing replacement (poly this time)
    Extended front and rear sway bar links.
    Install my old fuse block panel
    Install my old ARB compressor
    Install new window belt molding trim
    Finish my Satoshi grill project.

    Decided to install my rear extended sway bar links from Trail Tailor, since I had a relatively open afternoon after work today.
    ...just a wee bit of difference in quality!
