Spent some time 8/15/2026 starting the desmog, pulled most of the vacuum lines and got the air rail off and plugged. Most of the time was spent on the air rail which came off with minimal issue. The biggest issue was reaching the 6th air injection plug at the rear. Fought with the rear part of...

Got busy with life and finally got back to messing with it at the end of June. Did some remote trouble shooting with @HemiAlex . The initial thought was the fuel pump needed replacing so got an OEM one ordered and in the process discovered the likely issue with my AC - Compressor stator wiring...

jumping forward a bit, still waiting on the bolt for the alternator but decided to do a little interior clean up with some replacement panels from @CruiserTrash (12/14/2024) Finally got the alternator adjustment bolt replacement kit and used the original bolt as a temporary fix for the...

Finally got it registered with some period correct plates (featuring my parts manager and inspector) Some more OEM parts & a restock on air freshners for the Stagea & 60 (featuring wheels for the 200 in the background) when ordering the belts & looking at the alternator I found the adjustment...

Time for some updates after 2 years of ownership Replacing some more of the busted exterior lights (8/27/2024) - Driver side mirror was inside the truck so went with some OEM euro spec mirrors (8/30/2024) Took it out to coffee with friends. Also jumped on the Rust Farmers replacement dash...

Thanks Matt, tracking information from original shipping email is working

@ToyotaMatt trying to get an update on order #6050, I've sent a PM and a mutual friend sent a text or two. Order placed Sept 1st

the email explanation was its a common failure/weak point, and most people don't place speakers there anyway

Oh I didn't see that as a vote, I took that as by default if will not have speaker holes, if you'd like them on your order to let them know

from the first post, there was a mention of a formal lead time closer to mid-August, did you ever get any update beyond the 6-12 months?

make that 33

Unsure if recall has been done, but previous owner did mention the gas tank was plastic, so its been replaced at some point? Fuel sender and screws looks relatively fresh

last update for now, took the truck to my normal Sunday coffee spot to show it to some friends. Waiting on my coffee and talking to a buddy he asks if the AC is running well? I tell him it works, but isn't currently because I need to diagnose and fix why the compressor doesn't kick on...

The fusible link kit from @CruiserTrash was a breeze to install and even left the perfect amount of space to mount the koito headlight relays next toe the fuse box. Still need to clean up the cabling a little bit, but this is with the fusible link kit with upgraded charging cable and koito...

Quick trip out to the garage and we went from this: to this quick test and the wipers don't actually work, so that's a fix for another day. Fusible link replacement kit from CruiserTrashParts arrived, so went to take care of that and finish up the headlight install. I'm extremely glad Alex...
