@87CRUSR did the new window crank handles come with new plastic spacer-disc-thingy's? The plastic ring that goes in between the handle and door panel.
Did the handles only come in black? Amazing what little things are still available, I'm gonna order a set of these.

No. The clear plastic spacer did not come with the handles. I reused the old ones after trimming them down a bit. Dont recall color choices.

SOR has the spacers, I picked up a set a few years back.

Spent about four hours cleaning the dust out from my Colorado trip. Got down to pulling the carpet back to vacuum.
It's nice having a truck that's lived its life in the southern Rockies, makes for solid floorboards.

The earlier Toyota pickups (and probably many other Toyotas) had similar parts, the ones I have from a mid-'80s pickup were (I believe) a little thicker so held up better. They are black, not clear.

Good info thanks. I converted my windows to manual sourcing used stuff from different people. The crank handles are mismatched and in different stages of worn, also have a mismatch of clear and black spacers.

SOR is showing OEM crank handles in black brown and gray. So, when SOR lists something as OEM, is it actually a Toyota packaged item?

It's been a while since I've ordered from SOR, but I believe that's the case - Toyota packaging with an SOR label attached.
 
Took the family camping! 1st pick is of the rig loaded for a family of 4, for 2 nights. I will visit the scales next trip to find out what the weight is just out of curiosity. Second pic is the spot we found this holiday weekend. It was busy, but we didn't land on party row, so that was nice. Bumper swing outs worked great! Damn it is hot back in town! Youngest daughter landed her first fish with the fly rod, and I think my days of solo fly fishing day trips are over...she's worse than me now!

You guys from Albuquerque always get me to thinking where you've camped. Is that up in the Jemez, maybe above the Gilman tunnels?

Yes sir! Gilman tunnels are closed until early August. Severe rock slides this winter. They are clearing the road, and "stablizing" the canyon for the future. We had to go in from 126. This site was just a bit above Porters Landing, on the Rio Cebolla.
 
Well, mine has been doing a whole lot of this recently...

I stripped out the rain gutter sealant and re-sealed/painted it to try and stop the rust progressing in there. Unfortunately the 4E9 paint code has different meanings to different paint shops. The last few rattle cans I had made up matched perfectly, but these ones were a little too "sandy". I will probably have to re-do a bit of it at a later stage, but I'm going to Fraser Island in a few weeks, and it can definitely wait until after that trip.

I also got bored one weekend and started this...

New Clutch (Safari Tuff), machined flywheel, and a bit of a general clean-up. 2 x new Batteries and some new hoses for the LR Fuel tank and it will be back on the road again, hopefully in the next fortnight. I just need to buy some beer and find some strong, like-minded mates to help get that heavy SOB back up in there again!!
