You can tell by looking down into the washer reservoir. Up near the front there's a hole for the outlet that connects to the fender bladder.Cool “extra windshield washer bladder”. I wonder if mine has it.
White bottle Folex did magic to my horribly stained draped cloth headliner, highly recommend.Headliner and A/B/C pillars are looking nasty. Going to try cleaning them but if that doesn't work, sure why not add "headliner reupholstery" to the to-do list.
I used chemical guys lightning fast stain extractor and a bunch of microfibers from Walmart. Spay, let it sit for a minute, and wipe. Spent an afternoon doing that on the whole headliner. Be careful it can remove the printed text on stickers. But I bet any stain remover would work well.Appreciate the recommendation. Also going to try some Chemical Guys stain remover recommended by @cgeoca

I like the PHAT option with OEM parts. Relatively expensive, would like use case from someone for QC and peace of mind.Look up the FB group "Modified 80 Series Landcruiser" - it's an Australian group and I've seen guys talking about how to make the visor and snorkel fit together.
Yeah I really want to get one of those hoods. Since I have an FMIC it's just a cosmetic mod rather than a need at the moment. I've found 2 options in Australia:
