Broken Parts & Dreams

 

I ordered these yesterday, to go along with the center console install -



The accessory plate, for the Uniden radio.

The OEM dash bezel, replaces the one that has fake wood to cover the hacked radio opening.

The dash plugs, to cover the openings that'll exist on the new consoles.

Though I will install the goodies this Friday or Saturday. I'll take extra pics which could help 80 series owners. Was surprised to only see "installed" pics on mud and nothing more.

 

@Speedytech7 what else do you need to do to your LC?

I know you only put new suspension on recently.

 

Old Farts and broken parts

 

My parts box contains bushings for links and arms, a new window seal for passenger door, a better attic shelf (I have a nice piece of ply wood but I hate woodworking), steering joints, a whole cooling system refresh, PAIR delete, EGR delete, and I have a new engine harness for mine that I need to clean up and install so I can repair the old one and wire it for a haltech. There's probably more, but that's what I currently have parts on the shelf for.

 

Oh shit, so you've got quite a bit.

I forgot about window seals, something I should add.

I know I need to pull those door panels in the rear; actuators are trying so hard to unlock/lock but can't.

You know what I like? How solid the door handles are on the damn LC. They open and close like new still, and feel solid as hell. I hated opening the Tacoma and 4R's doors.

 

I buy maintenance items when I have rock auto carts I can add to and avoid shipping and when I'm doing small orders from PartSouq I'll add things I might need one day. Not everything I listed needs to be done immediately but it should be done soon.

 

You’re giving me flashbacks to the flatbed. The baling wire radiator mounts hurt me.

that sounds pretty ghetto fabulous

Fortunately it's not that far gone. The guy who hit her managed to hit the headlight at a 45 degree angle so the support took the hit where the headlight mounts. I'm thinking about drilling the headlight housing itself and bailing wiring that to the support for now so I can drive around town and not worry so much about getting pulled over. I love the ford but driving it inside a 5x5 mi grid is annoying because it never gets up to temp and I don't like worrying about the extra wear and tear

 

this made me lol

i've been dragged to plenty of "rustic mountain upscale boutique" shops around here where this kind of thing would be unironically for sale

Yet another fan here. I love mine, especially because I can wear it under a hood!

It’s good to know that it can be done. That’s a MAJOR goal of mine since it’s the only med that I’m on.

As for lifting, I’m really enjoying doing a program that doesn’t have me chasing numbers on the bar. I’ll get back to a strength program and eventually a hypertrophy program soon enough, but not until I get some shit squared away first. At this point, it’s all about just getting the habit established again.

Too close to home here

 

what program?

I stopped chasing numbers and started focusing on mobility/health :/

putting up big weight doesn't do much for me like i used to and now moving without pain is the focus lol. Lots of yoga to help with my back pain and mobility these days

Wish it was a 4D

but would still probably be fun
