New lseat leather installed, now at the shop to get some fresh paint for the hood , cowl, and valance while I’m out of town for a few days. Pics don’t show it but the hood is blasted with rock chips.

Chipping away at this job. I only seem to get an hour here and there. Probably could have done it all in a day, if I had one.
Anybody know what size nuts go on the o2 sensor mount? My old ones aren't exactly reusable.
Have you opened up the box for the new one? I ordered mine from @NLXTACY and mine came with new hardware. Not sure if that was just something Joey does or they come that way.

It's a magnaflow 23120. I got it from 4wheelparts.com because I had a $75 gift card from there. Tons of threads on here about them. Seems like they have run out of the bosals since I haven't read of anyone getting one recently. Or maybe they got too many complaints and scrapped them.

And would've supported someone who supports these trucks. I am all for saving money as well but a couple of extra bucks here or there that go to the right places is always worth it.I didn't see any in there but I just glanced. I'll check again.
Update:
Nope not in there. Must just be a Joey thing. The couple extra dollars to @NLXTACY would have saved me a trip to the store.
Gave mine a nice bath. Checked tire pressure, pulled up the windows as the switch doesn't work. (Need a new window driver switch apparently there is a short cut)
Regardless of the exterior condition, the fact that the screws were exposed to fuel and fumes since the factory probably guaranteed easy removal. Talking outta my a$& here but couldn’t be.Acquired an auxiliary fuel tank for *I think* the turbo truck. Haven’t decided yet. Gave my brother something to do so I can work on other stuff. Had him remove the fuel pick up/sock and the fuel float/sender. Turned out it came out easily despite how things looked. Little bit of fuel inside but otherwise looked fairly clean. Now I gotta decide if I should paint it or have it powder coated. Decisions.

Tried out my LCP jack adapter for the first time. Works like a champ. Thanks @LandCruiserPhil

Note: A 7/16" square socket fits perfectly on the Toyota jack extension rod. That, with an impact wrench, lifted the truck just as quick as any floor jack and is a heck of a lot lighter to drag back and forth to the garage

Great jack adapter find!
Love the no-loss color.
The adapter was designed to lock in place where the jack stand is placed. The shorter leg on the adapter makes this possible.
The picture shows why the adapter base is slightly larger to let the adapter Cant leaving the jack vertical.

Faith enough.
In my defense, I didn't know he offered these at the time of purchase.
I've sent a couple of 200series payments worth to Joey and I've got the wits end taped boxes in my. Basement to prove it.
Lesson Learned.
On my 93 they are M8x1.25

I have plenty of extra OEM 02 sensor nuts. How many you need? I'll send them out this morning.

Thank you. That's a ver kind offer. Something I'm sure the big box parts store would not do.
I went out and got some this morning.

I sure hope you are being forced to come up with a dual filler neck solution since they are so hard to find

Coolant flush and fill (filled with that sweet, red nectar of the Toyota gods of course), new rad hoses, heater valve, heater hoses (well, most of them), coolant tee, and PHH bypass from @NLXTACY . I got lucky and the PO had the PHH done at some point, so the hardline bracket was already broken. But it was still very pesky and I'm glad I did the bypass. The hardline is hanging on the wall in the garage as a symbol of busted knuckles and new combinations of curse words. Next up is valve cover gasket, plugs, wires, dizzy cap, dizzy o-ring, and, if I'm felling frisky, oil pump cover gasket.
Feeling cute, might try and sand off some bedliner IDK
