I debated on what fairlead to use, the old roller type or new design, thoughts?
I don't know what you mean by "new design", but for steel cable definitely use a roller fairlead. I have a old steel hawse fairlead in my junk pile and it's all grooved from steel cable. Nowadays, most of them are aluminum.
 
Here some of the items I used to clean engine compartment and interior. Most have been suggested throughout previous forums.
Not shown are the various brushes I used including tooth brushes and various other sizes and intensities .

Ok cleaning time
Paint first
The truck has mostly original paint. So I soaked it with Mcguires #7. The key I found is to let it sit overnight and remove with a Terry cloth. I did this process several times on the exterior as well as areas of the interior. I was please with the results.

You could keep that divit in the hood from getting any bigger by installing a roof drip channel cushion, part number 63118-90300 still available from Toyota for 3 bucks.
 
Mine as well install a set of new Koito headlights while I’m doing all the front end upgrades. What a cost effective and major improvement , I highly recommend. Lots of threads on this one.

Next up, interior redo, or is it suspension time?
Stay tuned
