OK, I'll bite. How much did that cost?
I think it varies based on rust levels (i.e. amout of prep work required) and the size of the vehicle, but my job was $3,250.

I got quotes from a couple mobile sandblasters for a similar job for a different vehicle I was considering that had more surface rust, and they quoted $1,200 for just the rust removal and wanted me to have a lift for them in my suburban home with an HOA. If I bought the other vehicle, I would have probably taken that to Merritt. They also cleaned the engine bay and appeared to be more thorough about getting in the nooks and crannies.

That actually seems somewhat reasonable in 2025. Crazy, but reality.
 
Need to replace my 80 series alternator by the end of next week for a camping trip. Looking to see if anyone has a photo man upgrade kit lying around that they have never installed or a OEM alternator for sale. I have a dual battery system with accessories so OEM will work but would like to upsize to the 130/150 if possible as well.
 
I have two I'm not using. I have no idea what he dimensions are; I'll have to check the next time I'm in my storage unit. How quickly do you need it?

I don't have a Photoman kit but there is a Jaguar alt from Rockauto that can be modified to fit and provides 140A. @SeanLX
 
Looking for chrome grill and/or headlight surrounds for 95 to 97 80 series. I blacked mine out more than 10 years ago and I'm considering reverting back.

Not terribly quickly but within a week or two, also have a couple leads on FB Marketplace. Do you know vaguely what style they are? Looking for something along these lines.

They're both Thule
 
They are not new, but they have not been used much. I have the boxes, keys and bars.
 
Please pass around. Awesome 70 however.

Looking for a decent core FJ80 A440F (3FE) torque converter to send out for rebuild as I suspect the lockup seal in mine is borked.

Also a swing out tire carrier rear bumper for said FJ80.
 
Sold (so to speak)
Free to a good home, but it has to be picked up in Fort Mill by the 27th, or it goes to the dump.

4x8 sheet of expanded aluminum. There was a 4 inch by 48 inch piece removed, but the remainder could still be used to floor a roof rack or something similar.

I will be posting this on NC4x4 as well, as I need it gone soon.

Couple things as I’m working to clear out the garage. Pick up in Durham.

Puma PD-1006F 12v DC air compressor. Bought it with plans to put it in the 60 but realize I don't want to give up the space to mount this with my current layout. Bought it from a member here. Asking $200 OBO

Lowered the price - please pass around.

 
Just wanted to put a feeler out. My sister wants to get a Tacoma, so I’m trying to find something well maintained out there. She’ll be ready to by in mid August. $10k budget. Has to be at least an extra cab if not 4door. Manual and 4x4 preferred, but not necessarily required.
