👌That looks real nice. I hope I don't regret my selection of faux Natural Birdseye. Any tips or particular headaches encountered during installation?

🙏I'll give that a shot and keep the new kit in storage if it makes a difference. Thanks to all for your suggestions. My folder of browser bookmarks is growing.

@Atascruiser thanks for starting this thread and attaching so many pictures. Thanks to you, I was quickly able to choose which company and finish to go with (wooddash.com, Natural Birdseye (SNB)). The price-point for faux wood was more palatable ($150 for small kit w/ shipping v. ~$200 for real...

This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to learn about. With leaky valve covers, I just gave my first $100 to @NLXTACY and expect we'll exchange more than that down the road. Thanks for the tip!

I'm totally new to Toyotas, having passed most of my hobby time on old Mercedes. What are the best sites for OEM parts? Any other resources, tutorials, or YouTubers that are generally considered essential among LC owners? I have a lot to learn, thanks.

It was hotter than Hades today and I went outside to discover my door locks had gone dumb. Adding these little motors to my parts list...

Impressive prep. It's too late to do a rust reformer, which likes bare metal/residual rust, so now you just gotta trust that Rust-Oleum to live up to its name. Just check it again next year in case that rust creeps back out from under your lovely clean finish coat.

You're right, bad question. Thanks for giving me the time of day anyway. I'm so new to Toyotas that I don't even know how to form an intelligent question. What I do know is that my friend's mom drove one when I was a kid, and a new generation of mom's is still driving the same ones as back then...

New owner here of a 2001 100-series, bone stock and I aim to keep it that way. Thoughts on common things to tend to in the near term for general sprucing and daily driveability?
