    Looking forward to seeing how that steering wheel install goes!
    Especially for us 2Gen guys. Do you just transfer over the OEM center section/airbag from your original steering wheel?
    I was hoping we could somehow upgrade to the 3rd gen wheel at the same time.

    yes center section transfers over, im sure you could do a 3rd gen swap but im not sure for the control buttons etc how that would work.

    Made some progress on the truck

    All my lines are done! Just have to mount the cooler, but it’s plumbed

    The shiny lines are 2000psi burst AN lines for return and pump feed, the dull line and the silver fittings (steel) are high pressure 9000psi burst AN

    Uses an XRP 491615 M16 x 1.5 6AN to oring fitting on the rack side and an AN 6 bung welded to the high-pressure feed tube on the pump side

    Maybe park the better of the two near your truck; if it goes just right, we could maybe see an early style land cruiser, and that would be a cool mutt. :monocle:

    @papasmurf

    Amazing build man! After getting tagged for those headlights my Sunday morning became toast, and all I did was read and lurk for far too long haha.

    I am curious, what front fiberglass fenders did you use? Are they also the advanced fiberglass fenders? I have seen too many people talk about the best fiberglass for the 3rd Gen, but have not been able to get a good consensus for the 2nd gen.

    cheers, and thank you!

    thanks bro!! So front fenders are mcneils and I don’t recommend figment wasn’t great... not awful but I like the body lines of the advanced better... my bedsides are advanced fiberglass, I love the body lines of them... debated on switching fronts to advanced but I’d loose my beer shelf if I did :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I love the build brother! If your serious about switching front fiberglass I would be interested in buying your front fenders!!! About to pull the trigger on a mid travel set up and ran my truck through the car wash.... the pressure washers found the bonds from when the previous owner hit a deer and under the bondo was rust. Time for an upgrade in my eyes!
