Beautiful work, @JackA. May I ask how you are restoring all your plated hardware? Or is there a supplier you can recommend? Apologies if I missed this earlier in the thread.

 

[JackA]

Most of the shiney new stuff comes from Metric Overland.

 

[JackA]

New oem battery tray and fuel filter.

Where did you source the OEM filter and how much was it (if you don't mind me asking)

It's still available from Toyota for around $10.

These are the steel bowl verses glass correct?

 

[JackA]

Yes, steel bowl verses glass. Also, I retapped the housing to use 1/8 npt hose barbs.

Mine started to leak from the O-ring that I believe was what could be the original. I took it out and cleaned it new O-ring and replaced the fuel line and put a vacuum to it to see if it will hold pressure and sure enough it does. What a coincidence that the day you post about yours is the day that mine goes bad.

 

[JackA]

A little bit everyday.......modified the tire carrier to clear the tailgate hardware. Also got the clutch slave and hose in place.

Been cleaning and repainting parts. Got the trans and transfer ready to go in. Painted and stickered the valve cover. Installed fuel pump, some cowl drain lines and firewall grommets too.

 

[JackA]

Got the trans and transfer installed. The rusty flange will get cleaned / painted when I get my new front seal from Toyota.

 

[JackA]

Parking brake rebuilt and back on the tcase with new speedo and pb cables.

 

[JackA]

Relay rod is rebuilt and installed. New water pump and belt with the original alternator. I also installed the jack mount after recreating the bottom half that rotted away.

May want to hit those TRE with paint, mine rusted pretty quickly. Looks great!!

I already sprayed them with clear. I like the tre's to look natural......lol

 

[JackA]

I gave the fenders and trans cover the CLR treatment. It made a huge difference. I still need to sand off any of the black primer, then buff them out. The trans cover will get repainted.

 

[JackA]

Fenders back on the truck.

 

[JackA]

Thanks to @Crinkler for some brake line fittings. I got all the lines roughed in. Still need to tweek, tighten, and remove some stickers though. I also fitted the trans cover with a new hole for the tcase shifter.

 

[Crinkler]

Glad those parts went on such a nice truck and was used not scrapped. nice work!

 

[Crinkler]

Crazy that I have your trucks twin
