Hmmmmm .... I'll have to look at mine. If it doesn't have the silver, I may have to make another purchase from you. I think with the dark blue metallic paint that I have, it would not hurt to have good hood insulation.
You are not helping my wallet, sir!

Just out of interest I see you've got all new TRE's and clamps there, I don't know how Toyota work out their pricing but over here in NZ I can buy a complete 70 series tierod with TREs in both ends, clamps and all the nuts, bolts, splits pins etc for $29 USD ($45 NZD) plus 15% GST (sales tax) which I can claim back anyway, the draglink/relay rod is the same price with all the TREs etc included as well. They have stock in NZ at the moment but usually they are ordered ex Japan and I've never been charged freight to get them here. My truck is RHD so they will be RHD part numbers
Spent some time pulling the interior out for a good clean and some Dynamat.
Wonder is this truck was a victim of the tsunami?

Beno, cradles from Japan?
I put a layer of windshield bedding compound under that cowl/windscreen frame gasket.
I don't want anymore rust under there.
