I knew things were going too smooth.
Planned on working 4 hours this morning and then taking the afternoon off.
Easy job. Replace the rear brake cylinders, shoes ans drums.
Completely locked in. No getting them off with all the tricks I know but force.
Force and damaging the s*** out of the backing plates in the process.
This put the brakes on this project into I can get some new plates from Partsouq.
Not happy.

Ok. This thing won today. I took a few hours off. Dropped Red at the airport. Ate a burrito. Rested my shoulder from beating the F out of the drums this morning.
Decided I would do some easy stuff to finish the day.
Drained the oil. No problem.
Went to unscrew the filter. Problem.
Seized.
Wrench. Fail
Screwdriver through it. Fail.
I’m going to have to get one of those chain/vice grip thingies tomorrow.
Over and out. Going to start drinking.

Already have a feeling I'm gonna need one of these chain wrenches for the filter that's on my troopy from Oman.

I’ll take some tech advice here ….
Drivers side door.
Inside latch it opens so smooth. Perfect pop.
Outside handle I have to really pull up hard.
Anyone have a tip to making the outside handle tighter?

This happened on my Prado, the handle felt like it wouldn't engage until it was almost all the way up. There is a little metal bracket attached to the inside of the handle with a screw that engages with the latch mechanism. In my case it had rotated slightly and no longer struck the latch in the right place. I loosened the screw, adjusted the bracket and tightened it back up again. I added a little grease to the contact spot and some WD40 to the latch and handle mechanism to make everything buttery smooth again.

I think this one had a bit of green coolant in it. Not much. Of course it does not really freeze there so most just use water. Made a trip to Toyota for a few gallons of pink to replace it.
Boy that looks sharp! Another fantastic Tilda Bogue transformation!
The 79's still use the same setup. The rod that connects the latch to the outer handle is threaded and has a ball at the end with a pin that clips into the handle. See the picture for context-
Essentially shorten the length of the rod in small increments to make the handle pull the latch quicker.
Obviously also check the white plastic clip is not worn out-
New parts are available from Toyota and make a big difference

Are these extra lights for driving or off-road? I upgraded my headlights to LED and am trying to see what I would gain by adding additional lights on the bumper.

Baja Design LP6 are off road or no one else on the road only. Insanely bright. Like nothing you’ve ever seen bright.
