If more soap operas were written like this I would watch them. Fingers crossed!

Glad to hear you still want to finish it off even it means a pivot and worse case a different 2UZ. With that said, I noticed on North West Toys website lists Off Road Solutions in Colorado as their partner for engine harnesses. It seems like they also have a shop as well, so they might be able...

Unfortunately I think you’re right. Does it have any play in it? I have a spare non VVT-I 2UZ manifold you are welcome to try. Not that you want to Frankenstein the engine, but I’ve seen a 3UZ manifold put on a 2UZ. They did that so they could have aluminum manifolds and keep the VVT-I. Also...

I know this post isn’t specifically a 2UZ but they went through the same parts cannon exercise you did and it notes a part I don’t think has been tested or swapped out yet. Their engine also passed a smoke test, but had the same check engine codes. I suspect it has already been removed during...

This thread might be helpful for you. KZJ78 Seat Covers The items you listed out seem to be more add on parts and gonna be next to impossible to source from US suppliers because that truck was never offered state side and there isn't an equivalent us model. Japan will be your number one source...

Costal Offroad Kit?

Can you elaborate on this a little bit more? Did they push the axle back some to center up on the wheel well because it is lifted now or did they do something else?

I know that question was more pointed to @kgrove, but here is a data point for you. Ours deploys when the radio is turned on either by turning the radio on or if the radio was left on when the truck was turned off. It retracts when the radio is turned off or when the truck is turned off. It does...

Great information, and I am assuming you just specced the center splines to match up to whatever input shaft is on the H55F?

You might want to consider an engine overhaul gasket kit from Toyota. It is just about every seal for the engine. Very nice for doing the while you're in there seals, so you have everything on hand. If you are doing the water pump might want to consider thermostat and any hoses that are...

I saw the Amazon one that is already mentioned. There is a mention that they might also fit an Isuzu from the 90s. Take a peak and it looks like maybe a US supplier. Steel 16” Rim

I think the wheels are Alcar Steel Wheels 8701. @Meshal the Pajero picture was helpful hint.

I've been reading up these clutches and they're super cool that the center input is swappable for whatever input shaft you're running. I was wondering when someone would start using them in Land Cruisers.

Perhaps not quite vintage, but exciting to get new tools in regardless and to see 3 different styles on the screw drivers. In order from top to bottom. Driver (-) 13.5mm: 09041-1C580 Driver (-) 20mm: 09041-1C570 Driver (+) Micro: 090401-1C560 Driver (-): 09041-1C551 Expander 09905-00012 to...

Had the same thought on just having one sitting on the shelf. Maybe after all the other preventative maintenance is done. Luckily that list is getting things crossed off quicker than things added to it. A good reminder of a well documented build. And that slipping in an intercooler doesn't have...
