Aslo added the tailgate strut, thanks to @Obrokoff
I ended up finding a cable that is the right length 15in. Dorman 38536 Then put the bolt on a lathe so it can hold the cable and strut.
I made a kit to sell, so you can choose your own adventure.
Soft Tailgate kit
Tailgate kit This is not a simple install, you must drill the bolt into the tailgate in the correct place or it will not work, too short and strut will bind, too far and it will break. This install is at your own risk. I say this because a few people of installed incorrectly and have had...solvefunction.com
Definitely ordering a kit!

Did some cleaning. Not perfect, but better.

Nice
That's way better! Now get some foam strips to put between the top of the radiator and the radiator support. Helps with cooling....if you wanna

Just arrived from jpn. Becoming that old guy hoarding Toyota parts guy.
Your hood heat reflector is sweet.
Recently I found out my VAF was out of spec, @swamp-thing answered the call and had a known good one.
It arrived today and installed the VAF along with new gaskets as well. The Land Cruiser actually idles a lot better (600 RPM) and the drive ability is so much better. Next step is to take it and get emission tested again, wish me luck.
Also, while I was in there I noticed my "S" shaped hose for the PAIR system was cracked. With that hose NLA from Toyota I asked the guys at Toyota if they could match it, they did not have the exact match but something really close.
Part number 16571-0P210 is a radiator hose for 2008-2013 Highlanders.

Dave is great to deal with
Lots of progress on my build this weekend. Finished the drawers and bezel and got the sleeping deck installed. Loading it into a container and shipping it to Colombia this week so it’s crunch time. Changed the oil for good measure.
Looks nice! I would be scared to ask how much all that wood weighs...but how much?
Nice! I did the exact same thing last November after bending a rear LCA. Press back to straight and weld on some 90 degree. ). Your welds are nicer than mine though. lol
Decided to start cleaning the mess of cables in the engine bay.
Changed earth cable attached to engine block and some.how the car is running very low at startup, maybe the idle control valve got effected some how.
I need a major overhaul, it cant be small repairs too much of mess for that.
I need to buy heatshrink as well and redo the temporary fixes
