On friday I noticed a coolant leak under the car as well as slightly higher temps than normal on the highway at around 205F. I realized that the smaller coolant hose that connects to the throttle body had a small cut in it and it was leaking on the cylinder cover and down the block. It probably cut a little abrasion on the old line when I replaced the cylinder cover gasket and the pressure caused it to bust after some time. After a trip to the toyota dealer for parts the next day I had it back and good to go with an oil change. Now I have replaced all the hoses but the PHH so only time will tell for when that blows, but I have already purchased the PHH assembly line to change it once I do the oil cover gasket, distributor, and front main as well as the thermostat, water pump, and blue fan clutch. I will probably need to do that sooner rather than later.
I also got tired of all my tools being in either the tailgate, rear side panels, or just laying around in the rear cargo area. So I gathered all the tools that were in the miscellaneous places around my truck
And put them in this tiny overpriced yeti box...
Then I strapped it in the back so it wouldn't kill me in a wreck
Despite the box being pretty tiny, it was really all I needed for the tools I carry which are most of the tools necessary to do trail repairs for pretty much anything I can think of that isn't too major. I still have spare seals, hub nuts, trunion bearings, grease/oil/coolant, and some stock hose in my truck in the side panels and tailgate, but that stuff doesn't really weigh a whole lot and doesn't get moved too much. My goal was to lighten the tailgate, since it use to be super heavy, but now it barely has anything in it besides an axe and a torque wrench.
