[kfarea]

We must have suffered listening to noise coming out of the FJZ80 after off road driving" Seats , Dashboard coolant console, body ect" . Is there a checklist for regular tightening jobs to restore vehicle normal quite conditions.

I don't know about the interior bits, but make sure you re-torque your wheel lug nuts. Trust me...

A friend told me there are rubber washers that dump the sound frictions between the body and chassis.
