Time for some wiring cleanup! The original owner, had installed an aftermarket alarm, lit running boards, an aftermarket stereo, and unbeknownst to us Lojack! The Lojack was attached to the roof behind the 2nd row seats with adhesive, the adhesive failed and we had no idea what the weird shape was resting on the headliner. Sadly it was the Lojack unit and not a stack of cash!

We decided to go with 40% gloss black powder coat, P004-BK02, on the OE wheels. To bring them back to stock would have been quite an undertaking, plus we really like black wheels.
Believe it or not the windows were really slow! Contacts cleaned and the windows work great.
The driver's seat received new OE bottom foam...not cheap but so worth it.

And the field testing begins!!
20 miles on the trip meter and 480 to go until we'll consider it "field tested and approved".
Oh what rough duty...please don't throw me in that briar patch!

200 miles of pretty roads on the 80 and a picnic under a shade tree with the missus. 
Did you put any protective materials under the electrical tape here?
I've noticed this is a problem area and was going to see what we could do to protect it better prior to putting it back as well.

We use fire sleeve from Aircraft Spruce. Slit it so it'll slide over the harness, secure it with zip ties, and then tape.

Field testing revealed that the sunroof trim rattled, unacceptable in our ears.
Luckily it is still available!!!
May as well replace a cracked door handle bezel while we're at it.

The tint was in need of replacement, so we decided to strip it and leave the decision to re-tint up to the new owner. What works well here in southern Arizona may not do so well wherever the rig ends up living (hopefully nowhere rusty!!).

What inner diameter do you recommend? Saw a few options, at that price better off asking then ordering first.

The tint on the rear hatch wasn't being cooperative, and we didn't want to damage the defrost element, so we took the rig over to our pals at Sweet Window Tinting. They do the best tint work we've come across, by far. If you're looking for tint, or protective paint film, we can't recommend them highly enough. We also needed to do a parts run to Precision Toyota so it was a perfect opportunity to test the A/C in 100 + degree heat...in Tucson traffic. Icy cold, no surprises.
The Bighorn Fire was putting up some serious smoke when we dropped the rig off at Sweet Tinting. Hopefully monsoons start soon.

You should remind Bill about the noise kit Toyota has from Nitto Denki. It’s the bees knees.
I rebuild all the foam for HVAC systems using this kit. HTH.

Really appreciate the direct link. Thank you so much!
