No idea of the brand, but I gave him the TSB (Toyota Service Bulletin) from 1996 that gave the paint code for the bumpers. I found it on here. I know that the two new bumper corners I purchased were not used and they look to be a slightly different color in my opinion. I had to rely upon the painter's expertise after providing him these two items.

Thanks, looking good.
Decided to give the o’gal a good interior cleaning. Started by removing the third row, lifting the back seats up and vacuuming and digging out crap. Then ended up just unbolting and removing the second row....... then removed the front seats........ and the center console....... and......... I did not come out here intending to go this nuts but now I’m in too deep to turn back.

Got the roof and rear hatch all cleaned up. Paint blended so good! The 25 year old paint really appreciated being under a car port most it’s life!
My son turned sixteen. His bucket list item was to go bass fishing up at Clear Lake...
So, we loaded up the boats and headed up with one of his buddies. This past year I refurbished my trailer and this was the maiden trip after adding a lid, matching paint, and redoing the deck. I really liked having a hinged lid after years of covering everything with just a tarp.
The tournament fisherman were complaining about how tough the conditions were with the low water levels, but we did pretty good!
Bunch of bass from the canoe, kayak, and rental boat. And a few big ass crappie

I would Fluid Film it for sure. Paint won’t really protect the suspension as well and it takes a lot more prep. There is a new “black” version of the Fluid Film that makes it look really nice. It’s been working great underneath my Minnesota (salt capital of the world) rig. Take the plugs out of the rockers and spray inside there too.
Haven't seen that black Fluid Film. That my be my solution. Hope to keep it original as much as possible.

Shoot, might as well pull that carpet at this point. Shampoo those carpets well and clean the metal underneath, you'll almost have a new car.
Went over to @Soju 's house to lend a hand with his A/C clutch. The bearing were bad and causing noise when the pulley spin.
He read on MUD to just remove the bolts and turn the compressor instead of removing the hoses. So we got some bungees to hold it in place. (It's not ghetto, it's ingenuity
).
The used an oil filter wrench to keep the pulley from spinning while loosening the bolt.
Now she purrs like a kitten
Had a few extra mins, so we put in a new starter for my LC.
One the way home, drove by this 70 series, so I stopped by and had a chat with the owner. I introduced him to MUD, and gave him the link/talked out our monthly Olde North State Cruisers Club (North Carolina) meetings.
Thought everything was good with the new starter, but at the gas station she didn't want to turn over
Cables good, starter good, fuseable link good, plugs are wires good. . I don't know what else to check/change.

Thanks for the help with the ac clutch, it’s so much quieter now!
After being garaged all winter for some repairs, preventative maintenance, and upgrades, I finally pulled it out for a spring wash. I also put some LEDs in the instrument cluster and got my D light back. I also started repainting my back bumper and mounted the @dvs anti-rattle mount on the freshly painted 4x4Labs rear bumper.
Replaced my low pressure PS hoses today and stumbled onto another, what could have been a more serious problem. The lower alternator bolt was lose and backing out.. All tightened up and I see new belts on the horizon...
