Wow...the hideous gold costs $600.....I didn't even notice that...mines got GOLD!

And that was back when gold was $350ish an oz. At $1600ish an oz now, you should sell it as an upcharge if you ever get rid of it. ;)

<sshhhhh... I swear it's not just gold paint>
 
My grandad used to only buy 4runners an they ALWAYS had the gold package, I think the 93 is gold. What difference did it make besides the gold yota bean?

posted with my thumbs.

Just gold emblems on the sombrero up front and the back and the 'Full time 4wd' is gold. Basically $20 of paint marked up super high.
 
Well I pulled the fan clutch and drained out some fluid and refilled with 20,000 cst fluid. It does pull stronger now but I am ticked because one of the screws I was supposed to loosen when the clutch is broke open stripped. So I couldn't fully drain it. So I filled it as best I could and ran it and will break it open again tomorrow and top it off. So it will be roughly 25 ml 20,000 and 25 ml stock fluid which is 3,000.

But it does on sooner and pull more air through the condenser and radiator. A good mod for anyone to do. But be more careful than I was when loosening the screws inside the clutch to drain it!

I got an old flasher switch and attached it as a CDL switch. For now it has a piece of white tape on it with a drawing. I moved the antenna down low and the rear defrost over one. It works though.

Fancy.
 

It is fancy. It took me at least ten minutes to locate tape, doodle the picture, and cut it to size. I'll offer my artistic services to anyone for a small fee.

And thanks to chroad for the switch.
 
I went over the driveline and greased it with molybdenum grease. I mean I packed it in and when I drove it around the driveline 'clunk' I'd been hearing was gone! It is smooth as silk when I shift from drive to reverse and what not from a stop.

I may be there. 0730 is early in MGM so the nearly 2hr drive to work would be brutal...haha.

May be there none the less.

Work is overrated. Besides, you have to work for the next 60 years. So come and enjoy the company of friends.

Wow. If I had known that hazard could look so good with some tape and a pen, I'd have kept it instead of getting the real CDL!

I guess you had no problem getting the A/C bezel off and locating the plug. That's got to be the easiest and most rewarding mod there is...

Decided tonight to take all of the seats out and the carpet from the rear cargo area forward out of the cruiser and wash it. I don't want my 80 smelling like Clank's. Just saying.

Which one?.. The hundred smells good.!
 
And as long as I can keep people from losing their dinner in it I'll be good.


Wait is that a mickey ultra!? That fully explains your reaction to real beer.
We will have to work on that before you now it we will have you drinking beer like man.

By the way that's the way real 80s smell. I mean ones that get used for more than driving 2 miles to work and back.
