If you or anyone you know is doing any forging... some quality steel for making knives and such.
if they are the original stock springs, they're likely pretty saggy at this point and folks typically give them away.
Folks will be interested, a lot of guys run wheel adapters on their trailers so they match their rig and only need one spare.
Folks use them to lift 4Runners, they have some value.
Started pulling the random wires out from previous owners. Apparently it had a sub at some point. And they had a Bluetooth unit installed. So now need to fix up all this radio wiring. If I had my harness’ I’d just install my double din at this point.
Hate when someone cuts the factory wiring to install aftermarket audio. When I installed a aftermarket radio in my daughter's 94 80 series bought the female adapter and left the factory wiring intact. Never owned a 80 series but believe I remember her's had two sets of audio plugs. One on the right side of the glovebox where the amp would mount on premium sound system and a second set behind were the radio/head unit would mount without an external amp. I know at some point the 80 series had an external sub woofer amp. I remember usimg the plugs behind the radio for the adapter and unplugged the set going into the amp. What ever you do would install the original plugs and adapter plugs if you not going back to a stock audio. Make life easier for the next audio change for you or the next owner. On my 89 FJ62 pulled the original radio/cassette and install a early 2000s head unit from a Tundra or LC. Know it's JBL head unit with external amp. Mounted the amp above the glovebox on a couple of unused studs on the bottom of dash. Happy with the head unit for my needs. If I changed anything would be to install a better amp with five channels for higher wattage and a sub woofer. I no longer have a 100 series or 3rd gen 4Runmer. But I kept the factory wiring manuals I purchased to identify the wires between the head unit and amp. Depending on the model Toyota the plug changed from nineteen pin to twenty late nineties every two thousands.
Added a set of period correct Hella 4000 Rallye lights to my freshly powder coated grill guard.
I think on mine, a Pioneer, it just needed to go to ground to bypass the parking brake signal.
New CVs and lower ball joints for the Prado. For once there was no hiccups and everything went together as it should.
Extended my diff breathers:
Also replaced my window regulator and window run on the DS:

Installed a bump it off road skid plate. Was a blast bench pressing that thing one handed. I am going to get some larger washers as the lock washers fall into the holes a tad.
