Greetings all. I am dealing with an over-pressurization problem on my 1998 LC. I believe the the Vapor Line that sends fuel vapor to the charcoal canister is either clogged or the check is stuck. I found a picture of the top of tank that shows this connection but I can't find a PN to save my life. Would any of you good folks happen to know the PN for the connector circled on the picture?

You can look up any part number for your specific truck (year and model) using Toyota's electronic parts catalog (EPC). Most online parts "stores" have a version. PartSouq is very popular; I use it whenever I'm in a hurry, because it's quick. You should not (cannot) trust their stock availability (Amayama is infamous for this, too).
You'll find all the fuel tank system parts in the "BODY" section, fiche 7751.
Here is the part you need:
I'd check someone like Ourisman Toyota online parts for a domestic price. Shipping out of the desert these days is problematic (to say the least).

Thank you, so much! I promise I did try to search as you suggested but either I was looking in the wrong subsection or was getting confused on that image of just a small piece of tubing.
I genuinely do appreciate your help!
Toyota has placed some items in places you (or I) wouldn't expect. For instance, the fuel system components (not the fuel tank and piping) are associated with the engine, but the tank and piping are associated with the body.
You have to consider why the parts are segregated where they are in order to find them. Most parts appear (to me at least) to be associated with the major systems they are connected with before being installed on the truck at the final assembly line location(s). Since the engine is assembled in its own assembly line, the fuel system components attached to it are located in that group of parts. The body is assembled on the line, and the tank and plumbing are installed prior to the body and frame being "married" (this actually occurs at a point on the final assembly line called the "marriage station"; no lie). The underside of the body, where these parts are attached, is open and most accessible there and at that time.
Having said that, there are parts that appear to have been tossed into a bucket because someone didn't know where to put them. Windshield wiper blades come to mind; they're in the electrical section. Go figure.
