I drove an hour and a half to buy some used 20"x8.5" wheels. They were in much worse shape than pictures showed. I was sad.

I upgraded my headlights to Koito H4 and they rock!

This was based on recommendations from Daniel Stern Lighting website. I was considering buying these from DSL, but at $179/pair my wallet said to look around a little...then I ran across a listing on CruiserTeq.com that had the Koito H4 lights listed for $57.50, as Toyota Factory Upgrade parts for Landcruisers...and, since it's an upgrade, Toyota includes the Harness! Shipping was $21 but still ended up under $80 so I saved $100, and I got a free Toyota OEM harness with relays. I paid more than that just for the parts to build my own harness...That's how it goes some days.

So today I rolled into work at 6am (still plenty dark) and promptly installed and adjusted the lights...the Koitos are AMAZING! Super SMOOTH light pattern, they appear brighter overall than the Sylvania Silverstar H4 Sealed Beams that they replaced, and they look GOOD in the grill. VERY happy with this upgrade!

Finish painting the bed would I put in. Still wondering if I should paint the fuel door or just leave it gray. And if I paint it should it be a different color I don't know, I'm really not going to stress on it too much haha

I installed sun visors today...They look weird to me since I have never had a passenger side and haven't had a drivers side in years....I am sure I will get used to them!

I pinstriped the steelies. I think it adds something plus not a big investment. :lol:

Change the rear shocks on my truck and one of the bolts were frozen inside the shock. Lucky for me it was the lower one. Was able to cut it out with a sawzall that was no fun.

The new headers and radiator showed up today. I had ordered a set of the Hooker cast iron headers in late July. When they moved the ship for the third time to late December I called summit and they hooked me up with these Sanderson headers. They were a little more money but they look and fit great. The collectors are angled back so they clear the cross member.
