Anyone have the base measurements for 1FZ and A343, still joined together? Or have photos of both joined on dolly or blocks? Thanks for any help!

Wow, sorry to hear. Many are recovered in good shape. In the meantime... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/stolen-land-cruiser-heres-what-to-do.1284200/

The plot thickens. Tarped the sunroof and windshield before heavy rain. Sunroof got wet anyway, of course, with the usual drip over the passenger seat. Now here's the strange part: the outside windshield is DRY--and I've never had water pile up so fast on the PS floor. WTH...?

So, just to be contrarian and go the other way here—do you know those metal bits came from your engine, or did the mech say Hey, these came from your engine and you need to spend a ton of money? (Can’t tell from your post whether you removed the pan, or he did.) Not saying anything is crooked...

Nice, thanks for the tip!

I seem to have multiple leaks. Posting up in case others see (or have seen) one or more of these… Removed plastic from sunroof and biggest bubble rust spot before another heavy rain. Now have small wet spot on edge of ps sunroof sliding cover frame, which drips on seat; minor. Ps corner of...

Well I guess my 80 has finally become a classic!

Ha! There’s a tiiiiny bit of water in the lower pas windshield corner. Just enough to see on my fingertip. But…seems impossible to drip onto floor in wet spot, except maybe from the A-pillar grab handle, which is dry. Felt on pillar also dry. Windshield was replaced before I bought the rig...

This one has me mystified. Maybe someone who’s torn up their carpet and looked at the floor can explain it… Sunroof taped off. Passenger door taped off. Bubble rust over windshield taped off. Hellacious rain. Next day, passenger floor wet ONLY where you see the white paper towel. Ceiling dry...

I find two on each side so far. Are there more perhaps toward the back? These seem clean as a whistle, no resistance, crud, no dust. Nothing comes down when I poke around with a small zip tie. So these are not the problem. I’m guessing the next thing to do before the oncoming rains is remove a...

Ahhhh. Geez, I’d never have spotted those suckers… Thanks! Pho credit: @Kernal

Uhmmm…I’m not seeing slits. What I see are round plugs, two different sizes. These cover the slits people refer to?

Thanks for the scoop!

So do the tubes drain into the rocker panel in general, or are they attached to the slits (meaning a sharp object or one that's too long could damage or pop the tube loose?

Front passenger floor soaked after rain, back to seat belt anchor. Can hear water swishing inside door. (Also some dripping on the passenger seat, but minor compared to floor/door issue.) Posters talk about using zip ties on rocker panel drain holes, but only holes I'm seeing are factory-plugged...
