Great thanks for the info a few items are off the list as I had just taken care of em, that's how I found out I needed a hg.
On my way to Moab with a couple buddies

Packed up the 80 and headed out for a 6 week shutdown. Engine ran hot the whole way out, had to back the fuel off do 90kph on the highway and crawl up a steep range at 30kph!
Found my dump pipe had come loose off the back of the turbo, I'm guessing this was spewing hot exhaust gas back into the engine bay causing everything in there to heat up.
When I pulled in at a dealer on the way this was sitting on display in the showroom, apparently my 80 isn't an equal trade for it lol.

Let's see:
-Drank beer
-Thought about doing some work, and drank another beer
-Felt good enough to start doing some work, grabbed a cold beer
-Hooked up 3/4 wrench with a 30 mm socket to crank bolt and loosened it with a bump start. I positioned the wrench against the steering stabilizer bracket, as the lower tranny fluid line kept me from putting it against the frame (no pic of this, sorry)
-Took lots of pictures as I was working so if I forgot, or had too many beers, I could reference what it originally looked like
-Pulled out the fan, fan shroud, belts

-Pulled the Battery and box
-I think I drank another beer while doing this, as it was the last time all weekend that I was relaxed
-Pulled valve cover

Doesn't look too bad for 284k, does it?
Pulled the throttle body, upper plenum, tried to paint vc and am still battling with the aluminum not wanting to take paint in a few spots. Proceeded to clean plenum (which wasn't too bad compared to some pics I have seen on here) and VC. Forgot, removed plug seals with a screwdriver and a twist from a pair of pliers.
I'll put up a build thread, but here is what it looked like when I left it at my brothers, ready for reassembly when time allows this coming weekend. Still have to replace all the vacuum lines, tighten the #1 bypass hose (had a coolant leak, found this hose with the clamp on the block so loose I could pull it off with little effort), front and rear brakes, finish removing the rear heater and lines that are rusted through.

Great looking work on the cats, hope it passed the visual.
I would never claim it as my own, but it certainly seems to help....

I ended up using a pipe to bend the mounting tabs on the bumper, all it needed was about a 15 degrees bend upward.
I had to bend the mounting tabs upward about 15 degrees.
As far as just getting the head machined I couldn't tell you, the shop did everything from replacing the hoses to machining the head. I think the total job was a little over 2K. Looks like te other users covered everything that needs to be done. I let the shop order the parts from Toyota, just makes for better business
Thanks,
I just dropped off the head to the shop this morning and just ordered tons of parts from @beno
I can't afford to let the shop order for me they will overcharge on everything they get.
Great work man, I'm restoring/building a 1ton 48 willys and out of the whole build the exhaust is kicking my a$$, I think I'm bringing it to a shop once it moves.
Today, I took Marjan out and observed some HSLD training.

Cruisin’
Drug home some equipment to excavate a driveway expansion for a more space to park so we don't have to move one every time to use another one; or perhaps just to have room in case I stumble upon one more
Let's just say they aren't built cruiser tough. Whoops. This was the cou de gras but I wrenched on that POS more than I ran it. My cruiser ownership training paid off that day

We tried a new Mercedes submarine without success.
Razor clamming/camping on the coast.
Which meant clam chowder at camp:
Plus some oysters to top it off!
Good times!
