    Awesome! So lets read the tea leaves here... The overlay is still intact, no copper showing. So not put under heavy loads for long periods of time and/or you have low mileage. If copper was showing, it's likely they are all like this and your new rear main would be leaking again in short order...

    Did you happen to snap a pic of the bearing surface? 😃

    That looks like normal wear from the skirts. Also appears to have been maintained with regular oil changes. Very nice! What you don't want to see is a nice polished mirror surface. How sharp is that edge at the bottom of the cylinder wall? I'd be curious to know if any FJ40 engine builders...

    Don’t mess with the fenders…oval out the mount holes on the steps. If you can?

    Yeah, all I could find was T47 for a code and the paint guy could not do anything with that. I used my old fuel tank as the model color buuuuuuut I had my drivers seat out the other day and the underside of that would have been a much cleaner example color. You might check there. Here is what...

    This is what I did. I took a pewter piece to Wesco and had them scan it with their fancy camera. Not cheap but that was the only option I could find for getting a really close match to the older "Silver Tan Metallic" pewter color.

    I second that. Pewter would look good. What is that golden brown color that the factory front heater is painted in? Anyone know? That might be anther option.

    I finally got some time to wrench. I got the hose off but the thing is stuck in place. I'll need to heat it up and/or pull the oil fill tube and use a vise or whatever. I need to do this anyway to make sure it's not stuck so no worries. But here are some pics. Of course the numbers are on the...

    I tried getting mine apart but the hose is stuck. I'd have to cut it. I'll see if I can unbolt it without removing the hose and take a measurement.

    When it's running, if you hit that throttle shaft with some carb cleaner or starting fluid and the idle jumps, then yep, you've got a hogged out throttle shaft. If it's not to bad, you should be able to adjust the idle mixture to counteract it. I've haven't done this myself but I've seen a few...

    Did you ever locate a belt? I just pulled my and noticed this part number. Doesn't look like Toyota still has it available but hopefully this helps. Keep me posted because I need one 😂

    Looking good. Where did you source your oil filter lines?

    I'm on the hunt for one of these early style water pumps. These pics help, thanks! Where did you source your OEM style hose clamps?
