Stripped the rig some more, worked on the leaky sun-roof, blinged the grill, started paracoding the steering wheel, started on sound deadening, added tow points gifted by @perrobravo

I'm so tempted to buy one...I can almost afford one...but I don't think I'll ever get the 2nd! Love the all in one idea though. Perfect setup.

I learned there are two (2) pesky heater hoses, not just one. Yes, the other is called a throttle body hose.

It just so happened to blow on Friday while hangin' out with @Tools R Us and @inkpot. hahhahaa. What timing!

2 weeks before we discovered my heater valve was about ready to explode, again, just hangin' with the guys. PHWEWEEEE!

That's literally the only hose in my 80 that hasn't been replaced. I have a brand new Toyota one sitting in the center console. I tried for about 30 minutes one day to get it done....no luck.

Remove the throttle body, disconnect the hose, attach the new hose to the old (a 5.56 shell casing works great), and use the bottom of the old hose to pull the new one into place. Hose clamp on either end, done. Don't forget the short section in front of the TB too.

You don't need to entirely remove the throttle body, remove all four bolts and loosen it enough to get the hose off and on again, but you're going to have to disconnect some additional hoses, oh, take off the intake first. Clean out the tuna can while you're at it, ahhahahaa. Ahem.

They let me out of the house to play with @ToyotaDon
I had enough gas to make it to the fj45 run.

Don with the kitchen.

My 1st time sitting in a fj45... they are more roomy than I thought.

Now home starting on new DIY project

Decided to spruce up my hood and the hood insulator pad. The pad was mostly in one piece but it had become worn around the edges and the back side was delaminating. Decided to use some black synthetic ribbon that is 3" wide to go around the edges. I used 3M Super 77 which worked pretty well. Still need to melt a few more holes for the body plugs, but it should look better and last for awhile if the glue holds. I could zip it through my sewing machine if it starts to peel. I glued down all of the backing on the back side too and shot more glue over the seams for good measure.

I touched up a few rust spots on the hood too, but decided I didn't care to burn through a can of color match paint for something that rarely gets seen and just spot painted some POR15 with a small brush instead. Good enough. Not sure this is the final hood this truck will have, but it's decent and the one I have right now. This should be functionally fine for the foreseeable future and the pad does look better.
