Hmm, good question. Maybe I can repurpose the material and make something out of it? A red TEQ thong maybe? That will bring back the sex appeal. 😂

Got the bumper lights installed (pain in the ass due to the bumper being installed) and managed to also install a trailer light harness while I was added. I used that t-connector 1997 Camry harness that others have used. It did require me to swap some pins but that was easy.

Man that blue 45 pickup just gets the job done. What an absolute babe. Love your troopy too - can't have too many tighty whities out there.

Question - is that loop point under your bumper a rated recovery point or a tie down? I've been trying to find a rated point for a 75 troop carrier and I don't think anyone in the world makes one.

It's a welded on recovery point that is pretty stout.

Odd Iron makes a recovery point that fits with the ARB front bull bars.

Not for troop carriers! Same story all over the world. ("excludes troop carrier" on every one I find.) They talked about maybe altering the one they sell so that it would fit. This was 2 years ago - maybe they have one now. Plus I have a Dobinson's bumper.

Odd Iron’s recovery point is designed to only work with the ARB brushbar. They have however recently fabricated one that is suitable for the Prado.
 
I worked on my rear cargo area panels and electrical system last week. I designed a couple of 3D prints for the vents and one large print to cover the fuse block cubby.

I also ordered the Planted 75 series seat brackets. I really hated to spend that much money ($185 each side) on brackets, but I don't have spare time to make something nowadays. Now I have to wait for them to fab them up. 😂
 
I installed a new glove box door that I got from @bottombracket last night. It's interesting that the locking latch assembly from the old door fits the new non-locking door with no issues.

Man, it was good to see you last night.

Dave helped me sort out some electrical gauge issues in my 74 series. Good times.
