Sorry to hear that. That's sucks!
My experience is based only on "good" experience that I had with the shop but time will tell.

This is how I feel most times after wrapping up a job on my rig. I find myself going back and triple checking things. I should just have a checklist of steps, with even dumb stuff like "make sure you have all your sockets".
Kid had an MRI scan today. I think she's okay, but whole thing a bit stressful
So took her for a wee road trip to the West coast afterwards. Excuse was to look at a plot. Wasn't the right property for us but fun to explore and in an awesome location on the banks of Loch Torridon
LC was impeccable. It's the perfect car for the Scottish Highlands. We have a lot of single track road with passing places, poor road surfaces and extreme gradients. Was really impressed with the amount of traction and stability we had coupled with the ability to throw it off the pavement when needed even at speed.
Drove some good roads too, and car happy to sit at 70mph at slightly less than 2.5 thousand revs. Great machine. Could do with another 50hp, but so much better than a diesel

Finally finished upgrading the door and dash speakers to pair with my existing 12" sub. And pioneer head unit. Mounted the amp on the back of the old subwoofer location, and the ground distribution block in the cubby right beside it. Used 9 wire speaker cable to utilize the factory wiring. Used 8x1.5" self drilling screws for the door speakers. 10/10 sound improvement

4 6.5" Polk Audio DB652s
2 4" Kicker 43DSC404s
Sound Ordnance M75-4 amp
Also found out the area around the seatbelt bolt bracket on the rear passenger side was rusted, was able to punch a hole through it. My buddy and I are gonna cut it out and weld in a new piece and a nut next weekend.

Just got my 80 back from being re-geared. And to follow up with the 4.88, the OBD1 Bluetooth scan reader came in. Plugged it into the OBD1 diagnostic port & with an android phone im able to read the performance and I'm pretty happy. Now I can bring my 93 into the 21st century with this TOYOBD1.

Which Bluetooth OBD1 scanner did you get, if I may ask?
Goggle TOYOCOM or TOYOBD1
Swapped starters and put a new plunger and contacts in. Hopefully the intermittent no-start problems will go away even though wear didn’t seem to be that bad.
changed the oil and drained the catch cans.
catch can 1 50 mL in 10,000 miles
catch can 2 90 mL in 10,000 miles

I used the 80 as a parts runner on Saturday to pick up a new window assembly for the Tundra which got broken into. There's a special hell just for "smash and grab" thieves right?
Got my bumper and winch mounted... but I think I got the winch orientation backwards. Winch is a Warn VR Evo 12.
This just doesn't look right to me and it's my understanding that I can't just reverse how the cable is spooled due to the brake system in the winch. I wish I had noticed before buttoning everything up.
Could someone confirm that I did this wrong?

I clocked it prior to installation but now I'm thinking I rotated it the wrong way.
100% sure - bought it brand new from a local retailer
And it is tall enough to strap another cup holder to.Best mod for $20!

Agree 100% Been testing the extension for a couple of years and can't imagine wheeling without it.
I'll confirm this is incorrect. Cable MUST spool off of the bottom of the drum. 180* the winch, and re-clock the clutch lever and you should be good to go.
Sure is! Not hooked up yet. Plan is to run some RGB LED strobe lights throughout the cab
