Do you have an extension for your tire crank/engine crank? Looks like there may be some interference with how far the receiver sticks out. I had a similar problem, was a PIA to get my spare down as I could only get half a crank, and then would have to re-align the crank handle...and any longer of crank handle and it won't fit under the rear seat.
I made a longer shaft with a squared end so that the factory jack crank handle would fit

I’ll have to make an extension as the hitch and the winch both block the use of the hand crank handle.

To be clear, the clear sheet is supplied by Toyota Matt and your fuse block is the original - just cleaned up in the blast cabinet?

Those are the same fuses in the driver kit that I purchased. @ToyotaMatt has them on hand.
there are 2 versions of the OLD-SKOOL color keyed filament glass tube fuses , this is because TOYOTA always has 2 different OEM parts makers involved
producing them

Been having a very annoying time with a light backfire on decel for months of driving. Sometimes barely any sometimes super loud. Went back through the carb myself this time and didn’t find anything but a small amount of trash making it through the factory filter element. Finally decided the distributor needed to be further inspected. I had it out already and felt the bushing was worn but didn’t think much about it other than it has some miles on it. Well I contacted @4Cruisers John and discussed options and off it went. I cleaned it up before it left alittle with some std finesse of cabinet cleaning. It finally was complete and installed yesterday and ZERO backfires. I’m also attributing some of the issue to partial or fully frozen mechanical advance also found after taking it apart fully.
