    Unfortunately the mesh I like for the Satoshi grill is no longer available. Rats. Shit luck this week.

    Nonetheless, it's been a fairly productive day. I finally got an FJ ATRAC switch and I finally got it installed. Had to modify the plug a bit more but it works.

    Also sanded the hell out of my grill... Again. But the black went down smooth as fuck

    Mirror finish (insert bathroom masterbation joke here)

    I'm still sanding and putting down more coats but it's not wrinkling on me. Krylon ftw

    Thank you. I’m trying to catch up to you. Rear bumper and killer suspension. Yeah I should be there. Can’t wait to see it with the snorkel. Trying to sort out and piece together the rear suspension is being a pain in the a$$.

    Haha thanks
    What's your rear suspension doing?
    As far as I know 2nd and 3rd gen have the same hardware. What are you having trouble with?

    Not gonna work with new bumper. I don’t want saggy a$$. Looking at that kit for sale in Texas classified. Need to get a price to get it all welded up. Sent a message to Chris already. Then new leaf springs probably ome heavy. Followed by extended brake lines and u bolt flip kit.

    One of those might as well do it right the first time. This is what’s for sale.

    Having the grill off the past week kept some miles off it. I didn't want to risk radiator damage.
