Thank you very much!
I am no longer active in the parts world, I retired 3 years ago after 37 years behind the counter. Remember your visit to the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum?

Yes but your ninja parts finding skills led me to believe you were still tied into some sort of Toyota super computer and if I’m going to give my money to someone I would rather give it to you.
Thanks for all your help, I will get some on ordered at my local dealer.
Dan's Toyota super computer is his brain...that was cool.

Just an FYI, the SOR 124-35-KIT window clips are larger than the factory clips I have and used to install my window felt. I don’t mind paying $2.16 per clip after shipping if they were OE Toyota clips and an exact fit but it’s disappointing to over pay and have to deal with something that’s going to be a PITA to install.
Again this is just an FYI and not a bash on SOR. I appreciate anyone or any company that supports our hobby but I know how much it cost to build one of these pigs and if this saves you a few bucks then we all win.
Auveco 11406 clips that should be very similar to the SOR clips can be bought here for $0.13 delivered. Amazon.com: Trim Clip Fastener With 1/2" Head Diameter & Fitting 1/4" Hole: Automotive
Auveco 11411 is the clip for Japanese cars but they are discontinued and impossible to find. Auveco 11410 would be a good fit but also appears to be discontinued.

Taking a break from the body for a minute and starting on the repair from the ice chest incident.
Three of the stainless lines got damaged and I need to remake them and fix the mount.
One of my sway bar arms broke so I decided to just start over and build a new setup. I didn’t have any issues with the old one but I decided to go with steel arms instead of the aluminum arms and ½” rod ends instead of the old 3/8” I used before in the hopes it will survive another ice chest attack.

Was it a Vintage Coleman? I parked a 33 inch front tire from my Yota mini truck on one once. No damage 
Did I miss seeing pics of the new paint job?

Technically it’s painted but zero fwks were given buy the guy I hired to do the work so now I’m in the process of taking it back apart fixing all the damaged parts and repainting the unacceptable panels.
Nothing photo worthy yet but I’m working to get something soon.

What diameter bar and arm length on the sway bar? How’d you break an arm?
Major bummer on the paint.

Hmm. So I thinking Curie was nuts to sell a sway bar kit for $500. I guess not.

Got out to the shop to work on sway bar and damaged lines.
Decided not to make the new arms adjustable and just put the links at 8".

Still nothing photo worthy, bolted the doors back on after repainting them and rebuilt all the damaged parts in my tailgate. Paint shop really did a number on the poor tailgate between all the cut wires, hardware and weather stripping it was a complete rebuild, they even managed to snap off the little tabs on the bottom of the window channel that keep the two short tracks inline.
Still a few more parts to paint, replace the rest of the stripped out hardware and still some miscellaneous mysteries to solve like what they did to my radio and heat/AC unit and I should be able to get it out of the shop for a photo.
