    Build: 40th Anniversary Restoration

    More boring stuff. Knocked out a quick oil change. It needed it for sure. Of course, the filter was on as tight as humanly possible. It won a few battles, but I eventually won the war. Plenty of oil, but really dark. Waiting on more parts to arrive from various Toyota places and the PDR guy to...

    Thanks. I’ve had 5 1st gen 4Runners and now 2 FZJ80s. They are a blast!

    Well, my paint guy has been really backed up. Gotta do all fluids and get my PDR guy over here. But then it’s ready and I’ll just be waiting. My Black 85 SR5 4Runner is next in line, but I’m hoping he’ll let me do both at once and give me a bit of a discount. 🙏🏻🤞

    Removed all the fender flares (and seals), removed the rear spoiler, and swapped in new AISIN Rear Door Lock modules.

    Spent a couple hours today swapping in new belts, vacuuming then charging the AC system with 2.75 cans of r134a (likely for the first time in years), and pulling off Front and Rear Bumpers. The belts surprisingly took the longest. AC belt was a breeze. I didn’t remember the Alternator...

    Quick Drivers Front door lock update: It works flawlessly! So $5 and the right adhesive (Loctite 609) and it’s done! Will swap in the Rock Auto rear door parts when they arrive. Then should be all done with door lock repairs!

    SOLD  Birmingham, AL: Looking for a Front Passenger Mudflap for my 97 LC

    THIS HAS BEEN FOUND Looking for a Front Passenger Mud Flap just like the Drivers one pictured below. I’m in AL and was hoping someone nearby might have pulled theirs off and doesn’t need them anymore. I was so focused on finding the matching FP Fender Flare that I completely forgot about the mud...

    I also finally finished stripping the entire interior, including all the headliner and grab handles and overhead console stuff. Getting everything prepped for when the PDR guy comes and I start refreshing all the interior trim pieces.

    Build: 40th Anniversary Restoration

    I first tried to simply swap the gear and the end caps on the motors to make it a super easy installation. Unfortunately, the new motor is slightly too long and contacts the OEM end cap. I then tried to drill a small hole in the OEM endcap, but it tore up one of the contacts inside when my hand...

    Also worked on the door locks. My drivers door lock is really sticky, getting caught 1/2 the way either direction. So I ordered some motors from eBay that the 100 series guys have a few threads about and tried to install them last night. Blue wrapped motor is OEM and the silver one is the...

    4 Gears and 2 Caps from Gamiviti, and a few hours of work and the seats are done. We’ll hope they work once I reinstall them down the line. Until then, they’re in the garage waiting on the final prices of the replacement leather kit to arrive.

    Build: 40th Anniversary Restoration

    While I’m waiting for more stuff to arrive, I decided to tackle the seat gears while they are out. Neither moved forward or backward, so Gramiviti gears were a must. Reminder to self: Drive seat front upward before you remove them 😂. Had to lug them to the LC and plug them back in to do that...

    97 LC: Door Lock Issues after removing Prestige Audiovox APS-400 Alarm System

    Hi all, I gave up on fixing it and removed my Prestige Platinun by Audivox alarm system, model APS-400. Before removing it, all door locks worked fine. After removing it, only the drivers door lock works. I know this system was a Southeast Dealer Install only one, but the install on mine...

    Build: 40th Anniversary Restoration

    Boring Update: We ordered a ton of parts over the past few weeks (vast majority OEM from Discount Toyota Parts places, Ebay, and even some stuff from Japan/UAE whey they had better prices even considering shipping) and about 20% of them have arrived so far. Some are stuck in "Availability...

    Build: 40th Anniversary Restoration

    Wow, awesome job on the restoration!!! It looks like a completely different cruiser for sure. Did you end up repaining the whole truck or just the front passenger fender/flare area? We have family in Huntsville, so maybe I'll bring the cruiser up that way sometime after it's done. Also, what...
