Installed rear grip assists for passengers in the back as I have an SR which don't come with them. It was a lot more annoying than I thought it would be; it's an ass to get off the plastic screws that cover the holes in the roof. Also, I bought OEM assists and they didn't come with little covers over the screw :evil:

Are these separate purchases? Argh.

I also installed front and rear differential breathers using the quad breather kit from Billet Race Craft (BRC). It's a really easy job, just make sure you leave the slack for flex in the rear and figure out how you want to run the tubing before you commit! This'll save you re-running the tube over and over, or having to eject the tube from the fittings and cutting off the used nub.

Managed to get to the transfer case as well but the BRC kit does not come with the required fittings. Gearbox, a little past what I was willing to do (for now). Fuel tank's on the agenda when I get a bit more information.

Loosened off all rear suspension bolts, cleaned out between the leaves the best I could and still can't get this horrible cracking sound to stop

Did a blue led console light conversion. Annoyed the SR doesnt have the wiring for the ashtray light and the gear selelct lights for the auto are a different type of bulb!

My sr5 went for a swim on the weekend so i removed all the carpet and underlay. Installed new underlay and put vinyl in. Looks like a new car now. Its going to be so much easier to clean.

It went into ARB to get compressor fixed. Went to use lockers on weekend and compressor didn't want to play the game. 1 of the relays had buggered up so as an easy fix and all good to go.
