@Toast I finally acquired a Throttle body, have cleaned it mostly up and have it on the bench. Going to replace the Idle Air gasket and the Idle o ring, but thinking about these shaft seals. I really don't want to have to drill out the butterfly screws, is it possible to get the seals off the...

Hah, point taken. In my defense, I've only laid eyes on the man one time and I spoke to him. But you are right, even if I don't intend to buy one of his imports, no reason I can't enjoy talking to him about his trucks.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I think there is enough nuances to an SA truck that I just don't want to bother with even considering an import. I'll happily admire them in neighbor's driveway as I walk by.

My wife and I walk in our neighborhood frequently, and I had been seeing an FJ40 in a a guy's driveway, looked very nice, it was Mustard I think. Then one day as we were walking I saw 2 different car carriers driving away each with an FJ40 on them. So then one day while walking I see the guy...

Doesn't help with your oil issue, but man your truck is a beauty!

Nice writeup Toast. What are your plans for this TB?

Beautiful truck by the way!

Is the owner at all interested in selling & shipping some of the parts? I see a few things I wouldn't mind having.

Check that the vane in the AFM moves freely, could be grit or buildup sticking it in a certain spot.

Following up on this. All installed, vad'd and re-charged and so far things are working. The Toyota TSB regarding R134a conversion says to charge with 700g of r134a. Each can is 340g, I only put in 2 cans, so 680g. Since I don't have a gram scale and I did not want to overcharge, so I...

Got it installed last night, everything fit up fine. Regarding parallel flow vs OEM...the new parallel flow condenser has 26 refrigerant passages (and supposedly each passage has small tubes inside which makes more surface area for the heat to be exchanged). The OEM condenser INCLUDING the...

Ok, I have sortof a resolution...I was scouring eBay and taking a hard look at each listed condenser. There is a listing for an aftermarket condenser made by Pacific Best. It is listed as working for the 4Runner, fittings looked to be in right place, but I was concerned that it does not have...

Might be same person that was linked above from instagram, I'm not on IG so I don't know, but here is a guy on YT that sells abs panels: Key Panels - YotaTech Forums

This seller got back to me today and said that they ship from a variety of warehouses across the country, and they checked and this item does not seem to be available. So this seller appears to be doing what most of the ebay sellers (and even non-ebay retailers) are doing, which is to just drop...
