Anyone else wrenching during quarantine?

[TRZ]

With many forms of usual entertainment shut down here in Colorado, I’ve brought forward some of my planned upgrades. Last weekend was installation of Synergy drag link, tie rod and stabilizer. Just ordered the front trackbar and sector shaft brace. Awaiting delivery of a rear bumper, installed backup lights (still have to wire them up) and will finally get around to painting the dashboard pieces. I had originally planned to spread this stuff out, but you can only binge on so much TV!

Right there with ya. Seems like a good time to get it all knocked out. Can’t say enough good things about the synergy brace, although it’s a bitch if a project

Yes, I need to install a disconnect to the winch and order/install flood lights on the new grille guard. I also need to gut the garage but will see that may cut into my nap time lol.

So far I'm still working but I have tomorrow off and it seems like the perfect chance to install my hitch and wiring.
Then if I do end up getting laid off I can pick up a cheap utility trailer and catch up on all the yard work I didn't do in the fall LOL

I wanted to be installing adjustable upper control arms this weekend but now I’m wondering if they will even be shipped any time soon

What makes the install so difficult? Seems relatively straight forward.

I think I'm going to finally finish residing the rear of my house. Started with the front moved down the two sides, changed all the trim and soffit while I was at it and all the windows in the rear. Added a rear elevated deck while I was at it. Once you start it just never ends.

I'm working from home, but only until around 2pm each day. I've got a Sunrider for Hardtop arriving on Thursday. Of course it's supposed to rain that day and the next, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 30 - 45 minute window so I can get the top installed before the weekend.

Wife has me renovating a laundry room but then got a lift to get installed...,

It's very straight forward, but tedious. Lots of torque checking, rolling around on the parking garage floor and getting big hands/tools into small places. Also, the pitman arm nut had so much red loctite on it that I went through 2 batteries on my 700 ftlb dewalt impact wrench just to get it off. Hence me saying it was a bitch

That FJ40 is awesome.

Thank you, sir. She's my baby! LS3 in an FJ40 sure makes for big smiles

I did a 2" spacer lift last week, waiting for some Mopar LCA from the Mopar lift kit to come in, then they will be installed.

And a bunch of yard work to do!

Installing power steps from Rockslide this weekend as long as they show up in time. Shipping delays due to Quarantine

I will let you know it doesn’t look to bad watched a ton of YouTube on install. It just looks time consuming.
