Yep ..... New one and associated kit is now on order.

I chipped a tooth eating popcorn. The repair cost was about the same I bet

Do they know what caused the Ring gear damage ?
How does the Pinion gear look ?

All I know is that the damage didn't occur during the short period I've owned the Ute.
The truck is at the shop and I'm not so that one photo is all I've got.

Today I washed the bed thoroughly after removing the paint, 20 pounds of bondo and the original paint and primer (BTW, anyone knows what kind of primer did Toyota use in the day? It stuck like glue) using paint stripper. Still there are some touch-ups to do but I believe tomorrow I will be priming it. That's the best I could do with the tools I had in hand.

Thanks for the pictures...
The holes in the back of your truck bed confirm how my spare tire mount is bolted up.

Factory paint sticks like glue and wears like iron.
When I paint, I get the best adhesion on my clothes.

Doing a knuckle rebuild and converting f/w hubs from auto hubs. A lot of differences in the parts all the way back to the knuckle.

Cheers

Glad it helped. May I ask, do you have detailed pics of the spare tire mount, I'm thinking about copying the design, since is quite expensive to buy it from the parts vendors online because of the dollar convertion rate.

You are right, the old paints were laquers which deteriorates faster than the newer coating technologies.

Today I primed with epoxy the bed, still have to coat it one more time again.

I am using all factory parts, but have not moved the mount to the truck bed as of yet.

Thank you for your reply, Charles. Is it possible for you to take a photo of the individual parts so I can replicate 'em here?

Old vs New. Didn’t know what I was getting myself into and I completely underestimated the time this would take to replace. The old diaphragm had 2 holes in it.

Also changed the fuel filter to a Donaldson model and added some paint to the boost diaphragm and fuel cutoff area. The truck feels really happy.

Check ya later 1HZ...

Got the Ol Girl registered (yesterday), plates installed and the sea grime washed off today.
Now to get the canopy pulled off and address all the minor surface rust areas.

 

[Mr Cimarron]

Took a break from nuts and bolts for awhile and now getting into electrical. It will mostly all be custom besides the CDL and and locker harness.

 

[saltycoconuts]

Started to make an overhead map console. It started to get dark quickly so I had to stop here. I’ll most likely finish it within the next week or so!
