Front Suspension Springs for 3FE are very different from 1FZ. the 1FZ is lower mass and so the set-load and spring height are different. Make sure you get correct springs when you replace them.

I would have been doing these near real time but today was a busy day. Here are two more that were referenced in the beginning of the thread. The first post was changed to reflect the changes. Thanks to @canman and @2MinutesTurkish for the suggestions.
Did you know there is a plastic pocket available that fits over the driver's side rear wheelwell? Used on JDM trucks to carry the warning triangle kit.
Betcha a KelTec Sub 2000 carbine would also fit right in there, anybody got one of each to check with? That'd be straight

Wait, wait, I got a better one.
Did you know that some trucks came with all-red hazard switches and apparently nobody in the whole
world knows what the actual part number for those things is? Even searching the printed and moulded numbers on the switches themselves- even on Japanese auto parts sites and at Japanese Toyota dealer parts counters- gets you nothing! What the is up with that!?!
They do exist, we've seen them, we have pictures and actual switches. So where do they come from?
NOBODY KNOWS!!
(Now THAT is some interesting information! Like they just appeared out of nowhere, or came out of an alien spaceship in Area 51 or something...)
I do apologize for my profane frustration with this issue but I even go to Japan every few years and the last time I tried to get one over there they couldn't find a part number for them either! OR a switch! In the same place they built the things! How could they not know? But they don't.

And here I thought it was for the tool pouch. No wonder it didn't fit.
24mm for diffdrain plugs and trannydrain, (and fill) these should be replaced with internal hex (see Beno).
15mm for aftermarket shock tops like Koni (must be a bimmer thing).
13mm if you have aftermarket battery cables that may have come from NAPA.
15mm if your oil drain plug is aftermarket (ham fisted nut turners be damned).
Tranny drain plug only a 24mm up through 1/1995.
Then it becomes a 14mm head with the A343F.

Control arms, diff plugs. To bad aftermarket doesn't follow this. I don't even know how many sizes I have to carry now. I just carry them all. So far the biggest I need to carry, besides the 54mm, is a 36mm for the Tcase input shaft nut. But that doesn't count since its a 60 series case.
22mm Front Panhard/Control arm bolts
24mm bolts on the rear control arms
54mm socket for the hubs
But in all reality, you should only need the stock stools from the bag to do most things on the road...
Did you know you can straighten a tie rod that is bent 3 different ways by hanging a steel rim off your winch bumper. Running the winch cable through the center of the rim and use the winch to pull it back straight? Use vice grips wedged against the rim to keep the rod from turning, don't try to hold it with your hands. May also work with links but I have not tried that yet!
edit, with the tie rod off that is.
