Oil change and tire rotation. Just took it across the street this time instead of the dealer. Done in under a hour. Mo price difference really. 46,465 miles. Still some life left in the Duratracs!

When you work a 3 till ? any appt. is a royal PITA.

That's clever! Do you mind if I steal that one?

Very quiet at work today, so I got on the tools and continued with my renovation of the fernery.









Again, I stripped away stock displayed in front of this section, allowing me to reform the boarder with larger rocks and blending in the gravel path. To display plants, I put flat sections of slate with smaller stones around them to blend it all together. When the warmer weather arrives, I want to add some color to all of the green via Impatiens and Coleus.

I'm enjoying this job, done all at once I would be hating it, but just chipping away at it when time allows is really fun. And it helps the day go quicker.

Stuck at home, so I decided to respray the plastic grill surround, it was starting to wear through, and there were some stone chips. Last sprayed about 3-4 years ago. The colour is matte charcoal metallic, alot of FJ owners go gloss or matte black, but I like this colour with the silver, and it matched the hood vinyl I used to have. It's actually a high temp paint for exhausts, which is why it wears off, but it's easy enough to respray.

Removed it from the vehicle, 2 screws and 2 clips, plus 4 locating pins. The removed the black centre grill, which was still connected by the wiring for my custom DRLs, I couldn't be bothered cutting and reconnecting wires, and hung it over the back of my spray panel. Used 2 screws to secure the grill surround to the spray panel. Applied 4 light coats over about an hour and a half. Dried in another hour, now the fun, attaching the centre grill and reinstalling on the vehicle without knocking any of the freshly painted parts. Tricky bit was one of locating pins didn't want go in, pull it out, jiggle a bit, try again, and repeat, success.

Almost forgot, while the black centre grill was out, sprayed and let it soak with 303 Aerospace Protectant, then wiped off the excess before reinstalling.

Picked up the pieces of an Amazon Prime delivery...

My Boss ordered a couple of things off Amazon a few weeks ago, asked for them to be delivered to Amazon parcel lockers near his home. Apparently the couriers they use won't deliver to Amazon parcel lockers, the codes they're given won't open the lockers, so he kept getting failed delivery messages. Luckily we use the same couriers, so got them redirected to work, but so frustrating.
