When we were active in Southern Nevada Land Cruisers my oldest son and I participated in a club run/camping trip to Burro Creek. On he drive down on US 93 we were following another club member and his wife in their FJ40, which was pulling a small single axle travel trailer. Their trailer came unhitched at speed and forced their FJ40 over the concrete curb of a large box culvert and into the wash below. Their travel trailer followed them partway, the axle hung up on the top of the box culvert with the tongue resting on the lower rear corner of the FJ40, behind the passenger side wheel well. Luckily no one was hurt. We were able to get the trailer back on the highway and hooked up to another Land Cruiser, and turned the FJ40 back up on its wheels. They were able to drive it out of the wash, back on the highway, and the rest of the way into Kingman to his brother's house. Other than that, we had a great trip.We heard about another good rockhounding site here in Arizona called Burro Creek. It's a sanctioned area for collecting rocks and has some very solid areas to go searching for pastelite. In addition, we understood that Burro Creek was still flowing and might make a good spot for the kids to play.
There was indeed still water, but it was getting low and in the ponding areas was getting pretty scummy. Still scenic though!
So we put up the awning, got out our chairs, and picnicked!
And the kids scrambled around on the rocks in and out of the creek.
Then we drove up to the rockhounding area and the kids filled their collection containers!
Do you have a part number for that transfer breather? how does it install?I did a pretty exhaustive thread on the HVAC system, so won't get into much detail here.
I cleaned all the diverter flaps of their rust and foam residue and gave them a basic coat of paint.
Then put new foam on them.
Finished product. I'm getting excited to have heat and floor air for next winter.
I used my existing AC-only control and the Heat-only control to make a fully functional unit. Amazing how serviceable these parts are.
Drilled holes in the firewall for the heater to pass through as well.
And a few more odds and ends buttoned up...
I also removed the 120kph speedometer alarm while I was in there... it's nice not to have the "beep beep beep" droning away now.
Also took @orangefj45's advice on the transfer breather.

Yeah, no airbags. And infinitely better than the old over-worn bench. It’ll get even better once I do the re-upholstery work.Those seats look much more comfortable than the OEM seats. I am guessing no airbags in those.
These Tundra buckets are just a shade tall… but manageable. I’ve heard Volvo, BMW, and Subaru seats are a very nice option. I found these via OfferUp and paid peanuts for them. I had searches in OfferUp for Tundra and others… and some were ridiculously expensive for used seats. I really wanted early Tundra seats so the kids had a pedal to spring the seat forward for egress.thats great since i'm thinking about bucket options as well, i put Saturn buckets in my 55, good seats but finding another pair might be unposiible
They are! I had a 1998 T100 which had fantastic buckets. The first gen Tundra buckets are equally solid.Those first gen Tundra seats are comfy.
