I'm totally stumped and could use some help. I've been trying to get my front seat controls to work. They were acting up, but I could still get things like the lumbar to work. I took the switch control module out and worked on it a bit, put it...
Possibly two trains of thought here:
1. I bet Toyota would tell you leaving the frame nice and flexible would actually make the vehicle live longer. That's why they made a hot rivited frame, lets the vehicle roll with the punches.
2. Ivan...
I am moving mine to rear outside. I bought a NOS confer tank it was a nogo with my 14 bolt pushed back 4 inches. I spent some time with tape measure and drew up a tank for rear. I had steel water jet cut at work and sent it to get bent on CNC...
It is not dangerous at all inside no matter if you flop or not . I've flopped my rig with the tank under the seat over 50 times and never had a problem . I've rolled it completely upside down lots as well and never really have issues (other than...

It seems that the part numbers have changed at some point over the last 12 years.
A complete relay rod, w/ both ends, is now 45450-69086
I found this by searching a LHD BJ73 in...
Built some dollies for the frame and got the frame put on them. Now I can start working on the thing without breaking my back. Also got the rain gutter blasted...some before and after photos...
The work on the top continues. Got the gutter removed and the old seam sealer cleaned up. Also repaired some fiberglass damage with West System epoxy (marine epoxy made for fiberglass) and some fiberglass filler. Next up is fixing up the gutter...
I'm guessing that he got the XXL, like I did. It is the most common seat, and I think they recommend it for anyone over 5'8". Plus, that is the one that they carry in-stock.
