No machining but did work in the shop on the 4th. My son and I loaded up his life in a U-haul bound for Oregon. He starts a new career with Weyerhaeuser and is their newest production supervisor (team leader) close to Eugene. We head out at noon today. I also installed a new Alpine unit and Polk speakers in the FJ 40 (b-day/fathers day gift). The rear speakers boxes are secured to the rear vertical roll bar upright using 1/2 cut sections of pipe creating saddles held in place via hose clamps (no drilling) I did have to use the Dynabride file to fit the head unit.
my Apple smartphone was used to set the custom sound configuration for the cab. The unit is bluetooth,USB, Aux jack and XM ready, It also answers incoming phone calls. The illumination has many different options as well. Pandora here I come!

Its hard to say goodby (again) to our only child after getting used to his company and help around the shop. I will remember the quality time we pent on project over the past 11 months. He had been working nights as a stocker at Lowe's so this was a welcomed opportunity with full benefits and 50K raise. I've always been a believer of "plugging away" no matter the difficulties. Things always work out so long as you keep busy and pray on it.
