Don't lose that. It's discontinued.

I just have to say, this is one of the best threads ever!

Hats off to Dan, he has been holding on to parts longer than I've been alive!!

I don't have much to add, other than I have a trailer wiring harness in the original box from 1997

My problem is buying parts thinking "I should keep a spare of that", and when it arrives I go to put it where I'll find it in the future when I need it and,... there's ALREADY ONE OR TWO THERE!

And I have multiple vehicles I do this with.

you are not alone - our entire utility room in Arizona is packed to the gills with Toyota parts

what I feel most guilty about it that I haven't made the time to install the new seat leather in the LX for a decade - and the then new seat foam is probably already crumbly from Arizona heat

I'm thinking now that if you buy an 80 Series from someone, and it doesn't come with a box of parts, that's mighty suspicious. Right?

Will do, my MacGyver quick fix has been going strong for 20 years.
