These might be a good option for those pivot points. Also a little shorter than OEM, but you might be able to stack them: McMaster-Carr - https://www.mcmaster.com/product/7650N15

There's a port on the back that the OEM CD player would have plugged into (it was a separate unit in the car); you can use that port to plug a bluetooth receiver into. When you press the CD button, it engages the bluetooth mode. I used the GTA car kit for the bluetooth reciever (super simple...

part #86120-08010. I believe it was available from 1998-2000 4Runner, Avalon, Sienna and Tercel. It's looks more period correct than the actual radio that came in the 60 series. I bought it for $25 on eBay. :D

Does anyone have these two smog related hoses laying around in a discard pile from your desmog? I also need the insulator sleeve for 17346.

Congrats! That’s a great looking Cruiser!
