Dope

Ahh, nice palette cleanser in the last two pics. Good job!

@Omrib, Funny how thousands of pounds of steel are indeed easier to deal with than a few pounds of sheet metal on that windscreen frame 😆 Beautiful work, beautiful country! Cheers!

Replenished my stash

Got a windshield from Toyota last week. They quoted over 700 and agreed to match my dubious online price. Going to install it myself whenever I get the weather seal from overseas. I've done all the glass on an 80 and a windshield on a 62 a long time ago, it wasn't too bad. Tip. Apply packing...

I see. I am trying to work around that. I don't have Jack stands that can reach the front rails with the truck sitting on its wheels let alone jacked. The little voice in my head is talking about cinder blocks and other nonsense, I am saying no to that.

Grabbed one of these from a local Toyota dealership. At first the dealer quoted me something stupid like $700, so out of desperation I asked if they would match prices online and he said yes, so I quickly googled the part number and found a shady listing for $345 somewhere and that was good...

Thanks @AirheadNut, I do have a set of heavy duty spring compressors but they are the internal type, safer maybe but with the beefy shock in the middle of the spring I stand no chance at threading the compressor in with it. I guess I'll go rent an external one of shi**y advanced auto, and maybe...

My bad, I should have been more clear 😆 I meant the first: how did you deal with the front springs during uninstalling/reinstalling shocks. The reason I am asking is because in the past, I always had access to a shop lift for jobs like these, but not this time. I have already installed new...

Nice work. I wish I had all that space! How did you tackle the front shocks?

Thank you @Tsvigo. Correct, obviously there could be other issues at play other than a fuel leak, in fact that is likely the case as we all know that one issue can participate another. Time will also take it's toll on everything. I am aware there could be issues with the ECU, the spill valve...

Hi there, You injection pump leak is likely unrelated to potential capacitors' failure. The symptoms you are describing point in the direction of an air leak into the fuel circuit. I would start by doing the simple and cost effective things first: replace the rubber fuel lines under the hood and...

If you find functional KZJ78 seatbelt retractors with bad/poor condition webbing, you can swap the webbing, top anchor, and male buckle for cheap and without any tools. You just need to buy webbing (68" +-10") with compatible clip and top anchor. Cheap way to switch colors too.

Cozy! Let the recreational maintenance begin!

Hi, I can only reply to the second question in terms of the ECU controlling the A343F: The KZJ78 came with the 1KZ-TE and the A343F. So, that would mean that the 1KZ-TE ECU should be able to manage the A343F properly. The only caveat I can think of is, since the 1KZ-TE also came in certain...
