I was lucky that I picked up my seats direct from the American distributor and he walked me through the process and we talked shop for a hour he is a great guy. His name was Toby you can order direct from him out of Portland Oregon.
Yeah - I met Toby. Butt testing the seats at his warehouse is what convinced me to buy a pair.

Makes my problems seem pretty damn small. Stay safe.
 
On a whim day trip to Bowman Lake. Can't believe I've lived in the bay area my entire life and never knew all this area existed. lol

Stay safe, hopefully things get back to normal quickly.
 
Did I pass you out there last week. I think it was Wednesday morning when I passed 3 cruisers at Capitol reef. Two 80 series and a 60 series.
We were out there on Saturday, so looks like another group.

Love that area but been a while. Is the area north of the butte still pristine or trashed now. Like your in Mars out there. Amazing colors.
Its not too bad, lot of tread marks in some areas with folks with ATV's, but mostly pristine.
 
Lake is very low it seems. :(
That was where I took my family camping in the 80 for the 1st time. Some pictures for you:

Indicators are hyper flashing, but I have a CF13 relay with adjustable resistance on order so will fix that soon

So the OEM Toyota part is a CF13 relay, and that's what I bought. Toyota install a jumper to relocate the L terminal to the opposite side. The effect of this is to swap the E and B terminals side to side. Instead of messing about with the jumper you can just buy a CF14 relay which is built like this in the first place

I dispensed with the foot part on the relay. I'm sure there's a good reason for it being there, but without the tabs to lock it onto the relay I figured it was just complicating matters

New unit is pretty lightweight, and the click is significantly quieter than OEM. Who knows how long it will last. However the adjustability of the thing is wonderful to get your flash rate just right regardless of the precise spec of your LED turn signals

I taught my daughter how to change spark plugs on the 80 series . She is 12 and I bought this to teach her how to fix a vehicle before she can learn how to drive . I order brake components yesterday so we get to tackle those coming soon ( they are very sticky at times).
 
Hope that you and your family stay safe during these bombings.
Can you please start a chat thread that gives first hand account on what's going on there before RustyB does the research and starts his own thread.
Thank you, the staff.

reconditioning my old center caps. I may use them or I may just pack them up to keep with the truck. Used "brass" model paint and paint syringes which seemed to look great! Duplicolor Silver wheel paint, and will later clear coat after the gold dries.
The brass color seems to have a bit more silver or sheen to it than a normal gold metallic. Frankly, I still prefer the knock off versions I got from the bay for $50 bucks.
