Did you ever sell that last ‘80 fj40? Im still sitting on the ‘79 I bought from you a couple years ago. I’ve been distracted by other cruiser’s but hope to get it up and driving this winter.
@Hornd I burned through your thread. We're "wheel buddies." My po had those same wheels installed. I can't believe the crap you're going through regarding rust. Great stuff man.
I've been looking at head unit options. I think I'm going to...
It's a 3d camera that the local technical college uses. Does a perfect scan in 3d so that you have the numbers to use for measurements.
GCode is what you use for a lot of cnc stuff.
Unless the calipers are in such good condition that fresh paint is all they need, honestly I'd get the Toyota remans if you can instead of rebuilding them. It's a lot of work, pistons might be a pain to remove and in the process you'll likely...
Nothing too new in my Coleman collection as of late. I did score this near photo at a small town car shownlast week. The artist had a small table and primarily did old car and truck photos. This lantern shot was spied by my Mrs 😎

It could be your MAF connector myself. I've had the OEM one go bad - and then my splice job on the replacement to bad later one. A bad MAF plug will cause all sorts of codes and issues. Others have also had this problem. I've since spliced in a...
Steering wheel swap is 20 minutes. Super, super easy job. It just takes a Torx bit to pull the airbag and a 19 mm socket to remove the retaining nut. Just make sure to get the wheels straight ahead, then set the clock spring right in the middle...
I bought a Rusty 2005 GX with 4 Runner Rims and Factory Bridgestone Tires.
Bought a 5th New Rim and Tire on Ebay so all match.
Replaced All Fluids and Did a Build Thread - 2005 GX Build Thread
I too like Physical Media ie CD Mix Tapes, but...
Picked up my 2004 GX recently and did the Grom Vline V2 install and really like it. Yeah that screen kinda sucks but I actually like how it feels very OEM and year appropriate over one of those big Tesla screens you can put in
Took Lexus on 1200 mile Family Trip from Toledo --> Au Train MI which is on Lk Superior. Got home on Saturday
Took Lexus 1 Hour South for Frame Repair on Sunday.

If the younger crowd can’t wait for you to pass it down they can always get a Fluke 62+ or (more spendy) Fluke 566.

man, if he started *today* I'd be 80 by the time a grandchild was 16.
and you're welcome to do so.
be aware that I run a very large open source project, with over 1m installs and people on the internet hate me.
I'm serious, ask @PabloCruise...
