LED map lights, and did the window lock bypass mod today.

Today my IRO brake lines, steering box spacer, steering box frame reinforcement, and JKS disco's showed up.

The LED interior lights are a pretty worthwhile/cheap upgrade. Im gonna do the front and rear done lights, and the footwell lights to finish the interior.

just a rear shot of the rod holder i made this bracket from some cut up pieces of an old curtain rod and some e-6000. way sturdier than i ever expected haha and the little clamp in the middle works surprisingly well also.

I bored out my throttle body to 60.2mm. Used the same butterfly plate. Took it for a ride, ran really well. Can't wait to drive it home on the high way to see if it makes any difference.

Installed my new oil pressure sending unit with channel locks. Maybe I should invest in some wrenches :/

60 is normal at cold idle and driving

Spec is no less than 13psi at hot idle, and 37psi+ when driving
