Can you tell me exactly what you searched for on eBay to find the center divider. I've tried and read several other posts on Mud who were also unsuccessful at finding that part! Thanks

Search for part # 55633-60050 Just make sure that the years line up with yours. I understand there are 2 different types and they do not interchange.

You may consider these over the required elbow grease to de-fog yours: Stealth 1998-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser Fog Light Kit - Clear | eBay
Wow.. those are cheap... but I have a great method for clearing these up and it takes about 2 minutes (once I get them out of the bumper valance).

Not a big deal, but flip that guy around 180°. You'll see the tick mark on the insert line up with one of the tick marks on the housing. Can be moved left or right to accommodate larger/smaller items.

Thanks, will do.
 
What method?

Clean them, Clay bar them, then hit with a DA Polisher and a Orange Compound Pad with some Meguier's Mag and Aluminum Polish.
(If you are doing this while on the car make sure to tape up paint because that method will eat the clear coat.)

Interesting, sounds like a good method. My wife's IS350 could use a bit more work on the headlight lenses, and unfortunately they have a lot of curvature so I've had trouble with the polisher. Done pretty well by hand with rubbing compound though.
 
We missed Harvey flood waters by two houses. We came 3” from the top of the foundation, neighbor came a quarter inch and everyone to the east of us flooded.
I was in my two kayaks rescuing folks.

Good to know. It was devastated! I was recuing folks with my 570 in high mod.

I went to watch the Conner McGregor / Mayweather fight that Saturday night and drove home to Meyerland at 1am in deep water halfway up the doors in 4 Low in my 4Runner. It took 1.5 hrs to do a typical 15 - 20 minute drive.
 
Uh oh... Today during lunch I went out to the parking lot and tried to start it. The starter spun without engaging the flywheel. Battery is new-ish (2 months old). Maybe the Solenoid is stuck or the Bendix is stuck... Either way I can't crawl underneath and tap on it to try to free it.

...and I am stranded... Got the wife coming over from her work so we can use her AAA to get it towed back to the house.

That happened to me at work earlier this year. Sucks to be stranded by such a normally trusty steed :(

The starter is located under the intake manifold on top of the motor on the 4.7L I think.....

You are correct. This is the first time in 20 years I have needed a tow (last time was breaking an axle on a juiced up 1970 VW Bug).
Parts from Camelback Toyota are on the way (along with some oddball trim pieces that were missing). Local Toyota Dealerships were sold out of contacts and plungers. They did have the solenoid though.
 
Looks like someone replaced the heater hose T at some point.

Dirt dobbers made a home at some point.

Got the new hood struts put on. $20 Ebay deal.

A clamp on the power steering hose to reservoir.

Decided to tackle the console cover.

The foam underneath was all eaten up where the hole is so I cut it out and replaced it with new foam.

This is the $35 Ebay console cover. Fit great, stretched good. I stapled in over the 3M adhesive and Gorilla Glue’d the corners. I think it came out great.
