Hell yeah man. I’m driving it daily for school pick up. Looking forward to some real adventure.
Is this a specific type of foam you're using over the killmat? Also, did you have any issues with thickness when reapplying the carpet?

I believe it’s 3/8”. Nothing specific, just the smallest roll HD had for sale. The only issues was me thinking I knew better than Toyota on foam placement. I put the insulation where the factory did not, some of the areas it was to thick for the push tabs. Where the passenger foot steps go, and where the cargo section meets the carpet section. Other than that foam everything.

Edit - $20 bucks per is ****ing insane. I’ll just hot glue those steps down.
Yeah that’s steep. I haven’t bought any extended clips, I just know that Wits End makes and sells them.

When I first saw it, I figured $20 for a bag of the clips. Who is buying them at 20per? I believe we need 10 total in the LC. That’s not just steep. I’m not sure Witts End really wants my business.

I won’t touch it.
I want to. But I won’t.
On a side note, you’re crushing it man. Time to find adventure now.

Thanks man! I’m working on finishing up. I’m so looking forward to getting out there. I think I’ve done Clinton’s legacy FJ80 justice.

Hot glue for the W. Those tabs are solid as they have ever been.
Don't stress about wits end, I think he went through some hard times and a lot of people are not letting it go. I personally have placed around 10 orders with him and never had any issue except for an order placed a few months ago that took about 6 business days to actually get shipped.

That’s nuts. I didn’t feel like scrolling, but I think I got the idea. That’s a real dirt bag move. Glad I didn’t order the F/R sway bushing kit from them.

Bone head move, I kept ordering and receiving what I thought was the wrong coolant temp sensor that fits at the thermostat housing. Well, I was looking at the wrong sensor. The coolant is buried below the sensor I was looking at. To top it off, I cracked my fan shroud and cracked the connector on the “start injector time switch” all while pulling the wrong sensor…
Edit- reading more about the start injector time switch, and what it’s function is, I think that may solve my cold starting issues I’ve been having. I think the sensor may have been already cracked, and I finished the job, as I’ve been having cold start issues before touching the sensor. $260 from dealer, $90 partsSouq.

I’m actually glad this happened. The cold non starting was an issue I was trying to figure out.
Next is the idle getting stuck around 1400rpm, then tap the gas pedal then it will drop to around 700-800 rpm. Old idle controller?
Or throttle cable
