OEM FJ40 wheels/caps I got from online Toyota dealer 3 years back. Had them powered coated before install. If anyone wants to do this the easy way, Cruiser Cult sells these gaskets. Mine was also a brittle wafer when I noticed and replaced a few years back...

Super exciting day today as it was oil change day. Also learned the Harbor Freight Icon pick I used to pull off the previous crush washer that was stuck to the oil pan has an incredibly sharp point. Beautiful day today so followed this with a nice drive.

Thanks for this post! I was just digging through the mega thread on this issue trying to figure out the best current part options as the initial ones listed are now $196 for 88690-89132 and $98 for 25860-62010 at dealers I've checked. Seems the 25860-62010 part you linked is the best one to...

We all drive a 60 series. Slow is something we can handle.

@jonnyd42 - Based on that Yazaki part number, it seems you can buy these on eBay reasonably cheaply ($25/obo for a 20 lot) and with quick shipping if you wanted to give some a try: https://www.ebay.com/itm/145222606398

To make your kit plug & play is it simply a matter of ordering an available wiring harness and terminating your wiring into it vs cutting and splicing?

You couldn't have waited a tad over one-tenth of a mile more for this photos? :) Congrats and cute pup.

Snow day! Nice little surprise for Chicagoland.

Some small parts I was surprised to still be able to find from Toyota: Fuel Filler Opening Lid Hinge Spring (77366-12010) Door Lock Control Knob Holder (69751-20040) Door Lock Control Knob (69741-12040-B1)

Well, since I mentioned it yesterday seems a 25% off parts sale started today at World Toyota (likely others as well) so if anyone wants the manual mirrors they are now $221 delivered.

Just a car wash today but did try out the Walmart Platinum Series twisted loop drying towels for any of you that do your own detailing. Only $12 for a two-pack of 18x24" towels and performed as well as my much more expensive Griot's XL PFM. Dried the entire truck with one of them.

If you decide to go with the manual set you can get them cheaper direct from a Toyota dealer than that eBay auction. This is World Toyota in ATL and they often have 25% off sales and free shipping at $75. So if you want a bit you can grab them for $221 or so delivered. I ordered a set of these...

Can't recall if these have been posted yet so apologies if so. Some years back I replaced the five interior grab handles on my 62. All are still available and pretty cheap especially if you wait for another 25% off deal at World Toyota. This is for the handles, caps, and new screw for mounting...

I still get a kick out of how they shipped mine. My wife came downstairs and thought there was a body at our front door. Also can't imagine how this it was only $209 total delivered (Sept 2023) from Atlanta to Chicago.
