    Took advantage of good weather window in the PNW and enjoyed two days of exploring trails with some buddies.

    Finished up my $85 LED projector retrofit. Very satisfied with the result.

    Went with Black Rhino TSW Roku 17x9.5 for the wheels and unfortunately, i was in a bind to get tires, so had to go with 265/70 R17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2. I wanted 285/75 R17 but they did not have any in stock.

    Parked next to an FJ yesterday and realized my passenger side headlight was soaked inside :(

    So now it sits like this until I seal BOTH lights. It’s tempting to continue stripping parts off and updating the front end

    Also, I hate the location of this bolt lol

    I tried that method and it did not work for me because my LCA would not drop enough to release spring pressure. I think maybe my cams are seized? Anyway the spring compressor method was easy and safe. Just use your head!

    60kmi service partially complete. New Denso plugs to replace the NGKs I did at 30k. All plugs looked uniformly worn with one or two gaps at .50+. Cleaned throttle plate with seafoam and a toothbrush, removed battery for cleaning and to reset idle learn, 2 diffs and t-case drained and filled with super tech synthetic 75W-90, Mobil 1 0w-30 and Napa Gold 1516 filter, spare tire cleaned and inspected, washed and wax-n-dried, fluid film applied to under carriage and new Husky front splash guards installed. Next weekend dealer will drop trans pan, clean magnets and replace fluid, flush brake fluid and inspect rear brakes.

    your spring compressor is probably the least sketchy looking spring compressor I've ever seen. What brand is it?
