I can't hear any thunderstorm... :p BTW, Is the meter backlight original or did you do some upgrade to it? It seems to be bright compared to mine, but maybe I should check it when it's really dark. :)

Thanks, good to know!

I think I found the part no.: 90980-11298. Looks obvious. ;)

Hi, Does anyone know how to find part no. for a male connector to which I only have the female counterpart available? Or maybe someone could just check it their vehicle and read the number. I'm looking for male connector for rear combination lamps, European version (back-up and fog lights...

Thanks for all the answers, especially ATL Cruiser!

Hi, Does anyone know if there's a separate Toyota P/N for the seatbelt mounting bolt shown on the picture below?

Thanks a lot! I pulled the yellow lock plate a bit stronger and it came out and then I could see the plastic tab clearly and things became obvious. ;)

Hi, I'm trying to remove terminals from this connector. As you can see, I was able to pull the terminal retainer (the yellow part), but I'm not sure if I should be able to remove it fully from the connector before trying to remove terminals or is this enough? I can't figure it out by looking...

Thanks a lot for your comprehensive answer! I know how it feels to have a frame and underside of body panels treated with something (don't know what it is, but looks ugly and seems to be difficult to get rid of), because the PO has done it. I wouldn't do it myself again, I'd go for repainting as...

Thanks a lot Ralf! Please bear with me, just one more question, as I know from your posts you have experience fighting with rust. :-) What is your best option for cavity protection (some wax, I guess)? Have a good day!

Hi Felde, Nice work and truck! Would you have any suggestions about what to use as a rust inhibitor? I found this in the "Body" section of an 70 series FSM. This means the inhibitor should be safe for painted surfaces.

I asked one driver about the model and he said these were modified pickups, for longer wheelbase. So I'd say these are 79 series.

Thanks Juan! I have installed new knuckle and wheel bearings, new seals, new tie rod ends, new rotors and pads - I did a complete rebuild of this area while there. This truck wasn't well maintained by PO and for me it serves partly as a way to learn (I'm doing everything myself), because it's...

Thanks @coldtaco for explanation! I will follow all advices in this thread.

@JuanJ and @Broski thanks for your answers! I'm planning to install the stabilizer back, that's sure. I just had to fabricate stabilizer link extensions for the 2" lift I also have. My tires are 10.5", so I assume their width should not be a problem? Maybe it's just my lack of experience with...
