Thank you, when I saw it on CL, I had to check it out, and then once I saw the mileage, lockers, add ons and supercharger, I figured I should give it a go.It would be a good project over the winter and hopefully I can make a pretty solid adventure rig out of it.
As it had been sitting for roughly 3 years, the interior had a solid musty odor that only comes from time and water. As well as a good amount of dirt and algae covering the roof and hood. Yesterday I pulled all of the seats out, shampoo'd the carpets, cleaned up the seats, and wiped down the paint using a degreaser (The dollar store citrus jipe). I pulled the roof rack and got the mud and crud out of all the rain gutters and roof rack bars. Charged the AC although its leaking right from compressor right where the high side line bolts on, but it did work and blow cold for a minute, so thats exciting. I found my drivers sunroof drain leaks, and although the line appears clear, I suspect the cracked drain bracket, so I'll have to see if I can still get that from Toyota along with new colder heat range plugs, wires, fuel filter, LOF and some other doodads (yay wholesale pricing!)
Gave it a hand wash to see how it looks and I'd say its about 70% there. I'm going to hand the keys over to my detail guy within the next couple days and he is going to claybar and buff it so it should be looking right by Saturday and I'll hopefully get some photos for ya'll.
