Decided to chase some electrical gremlins, may have gotten a touch carried away but I've been meaning to replace cluster bulbs and clean the cover anyway

Slowly working through some suspension and steering baselining, front endlinks replaced with 555s, and swapped the front shocks out for some cheap KYBs (just holding me over until next summer, not quite ready to lift it yet and the 80 is going to be my daily for the next few months). Huge...

This won't help OP (sorry to say), but I ran across this thread before ordering my own depo replacements. Because of what you dealt with I ended up ordering off of Amazon rather than ebay (pretty sure its the same seller though), and the first thing I did when they arrived was checked the...

Nothing amazing but happy to have new headlights. Was going to be replacing the end links today but I forgot to presoak the PB Blaster yesterday so that may not happen until next weekend.

Mine is also a 94, sorry, I should have mentioned that! Edited the original, if you have that'd be awesome, thanks for looking regardless!

Probably a long shot but the new to me 80 (1994) has a busted rear driver (left) side flare, hoping someone who has deflared may have one sitting around they'd let go. Only need the rearmost piece (pic of current one attached for reference) but if you don't want to split up a full set I'll...

Removed the first pieces of wood trim around the shifter and radio (obviously have more cleanup to do) and got a functioning head unit out of another project car that doesn't need it. Slowly but surely making some progress

Re-did my belt job, with the correctly sized Toyota belts this time! What a difference that made, lol (parts store belts for the alternator/fan weren't the same size, oops! Fixed it now) and changed out the idler pullies with OEM units while I was at it, truck idles and drives beautifully now so...

Makes sense, they'll be here in a few days. Thanks Cruza!

Got something random on a belt change today. Used the instructions provided by OP but was not using OEM belts (they are now on order) The two belts for the alternator that I got from the local part store went on ok but after tightening the front is significantly looser than the rear belt. I...

Yesterday my new to me 94 got pads and rotors all around and seat covers. Today I took its first drive at highway speeds and was pleasantly surprised with how it felt. A little slop in the steering but nothing that feels unsafe. Need to change the accessory belts tonight or tomorrow and she...

Did exactly that when I got home and odd thing about that 7.5 is its a spare, not connected to anything. Can't explain the corrosion on it but that's all it is (like, chalky corrosion you'd find on an old battery terminal). Weird but the rest of them looked as you'd expect, not pristine but...

Temporary fix in place for diagnosis purposes but so far so good. As 60 toy ota suggested this is likely prior damage from poor planning rather than an ongoing/current issue but I have a solid enough patch in place to verify for a few days, if it doesn't act up again I'll call it good and...

That may not be a bad idea actually, I'll see what it looks like when I get back to it, hopefully this is the extent of the issues but I wouldn't be shocked to see more!

I have no reason at all to doubt this is exactly what happened. I'll try to unpin that wire tonight and worst case scenario there is currently an empty location directly above the stop fuse if the plastic there is too far gone to save. Wondering if you know the PO? Thank you!
