Might as well put a video up. The video was 2 years ago though.

Checked to see how the pecan trees held up to the strong cold front that rolled through our area.
Fixed this for these folks in Kingsport, TN.
Fitted some Escape Gear seat covers over the weekend. Escape Gear was able to tweak the 70 series standard seat templates for the JDM seats. Took awhile to receive them but worth the wait. Look to be a better fit that what I've seen on other 77's. Still a few areas that could use a tweak but pretty happy. The covers are killer quality. I think they are calling the new kit TLC61 and it's a mix of a production LC seat cover and a modified pattern based on pictures and measurements of my seats. Have more info buried in email if interested. Worked with Drew at Equipt1 mostly.

Always fun to come out and find notes
My notes always read “cool Jeep”.
Took a trip up to NorCal, Lassen National Forrest. My passenger said their feet were cold. I thought they were kidding... but sat on the other side for a while and wouldn't you know it.. it was cold down by the feet. Upon returning home decided to investigate and it appears the element burned up. $21 dollar fix it appears. Part Number # 87138-90K00.
Nice, I wish it was that easy (and cheap) to replace the blower motor resistor on my 24V BJ73! I noticed mine was very corroded when I had my ventilation system apart for cleaning last summer.
@LevinBR , I was a bit surprised it was that cheap. The element looks very "similar" to other elements in other Toyota Trucks. My brother-in-law is an electrician and he offered to re-solder just the element piece / spring with ceramic on top from another vehicle... but I just bought new. Sounded like too much trouble, but if the 24volt version is that much more, maybe that could be an option.
Part number for 24v is 8713890K01. It's about the same price (amayama or partsouq) as the the 12v one, but shipping is around $20 too. So, twice the voltage, twice the price
Still, for around $45 you can have a nice blowing fan motor which isn't too bad. Best to combine with a few other small items you might need...True that. I actually was able to restore the fastest speed setting by twisting together some broken ends on one coil. Soldering would be an even better fix.
The price of good sound!
Went to Napa and got two packs of this pinch weld + side bulb trim for the doors on the Troopy. It makes a big difference in road noise! Hopefully starting to sound-proof (is that even possible on these rigs?) the cargo area next week.
That seems like a great idea for the front doors. Does it make the doors stick out proud of the car at all?

Had a bit of fun today....
Nope and now when my friends slam the door (ughhh) it doesn't feel like the cards are going to blow off.
Apologies, wrong forum

I had The Fit Garage in Bend, Oregon, add an Eberspächer Easy Start. I have had trouble get my ‘92 Prado started when the temperature drops well below freezing. The easy start is pretty awesome!
I just put an external coolant heater in mine this week. Started right up this a.m., no glow plugs, no smoke and idled smooth.
Now I just need to get a wifi outlet or programmable timer, so I can set it to turn on a couple hours before I leave in the a.m.
