I added a few enhancements to the back patio. We spend a ton of time sitting out there in the evenings/weekend. We have dinner out there just about every night. So, some other lights and a misting system seemed like a good idea. No real pics of the process though. Pretty simple install, hardest part was drilling holes in the stucco while my wife cringed. She’s not a fan of the holes in our new house. 
For those with OCD issues, they all droop to the same level. The angle of the picture is just funny.

Command strips! We have used them all over the house with very little failure. I had framed picture fall but it was fairly heavy and big. Only the real small hook type have pulled the paint off and we don’t use them anymore. The bigger Velcro type ones have been great with zero paint issues.

Last weekend I built a kayak rack to haul my boats and a buddies boats to the uintas for a family camping trip. It worked well with the only failure being a hazard fraught ratchet strap...
The vertical frame is a 4x4 knotched for the 2x4's.
The horizontal braces are 4x4 also.
I added pipe insulation to give the boats a forgiving surface to rest on and eye bolts to hold the ratchet straps.
Its was a heavy load with all my gear for a family of 5 for 4 days and 10 boats (3 small kayaks are on the bottom with gear) but the GX handled it well.

My grandpa died a while back, and then my grandma past a few years ago. We sold their house, and the buyer specifically requested their flagpole stay. I had already claimed it years before, and so I stole it anyway, fair and square. It has taken me a while to get it installed, but I did it yesterday. Grandpas flag and pole, with my own personal touch added.

Spent several hours working on my 80 tonight. Let out more than a few "garage" words when a bolt broke, another stripped, and my sliders prevented me from installing my Carlbuilt skid plate.
But, I got the skid plate in (almost 2 years later), installed the new heavy rear sway bar (its been in the garage for a few weeks), and even changed the oil and rotated the tires. Its ready for a few more weekends of adventure!
Definitely call Cruiser Outfitters for all your Land Cruiser needs! This sway bar makes a HUGE difference in body roll with my new suspension.

Finished this the other day but forgot to update this thread.
I'm pretty happy with it so far! Only plans are to cut out some various holes in the upper shelf to hold some tools in place.

I was just going to reply to your original cart post. I was gonna say expanded as it doesn't collect grinding dust. Looks good sirFinished this the other day but forgot to update this thread.
