Installed my rebuilt seat belt, from Safety Restore.

And removed the 2nd and 3rd row seats, to load the back with gear for a trip on Dusy Ershim trail, next weekend.

Sweet looking 80!!!!! How does the seatbelt compare to OE in terms of thickness? I need to swap mine out. Did you do both sides?
 
Had to evacuate our house due to fires in SC, so had some time and dug in on the much needed cooling system overhaul on my newly bought 94 at my shop. It was running green ish coolant and had all the factory hoses and heater valve, with a no name radiator, leaking at the tstat.

Replaced all the hoses, heater valve, rad cap, tstat and all o rings, fan shroud, fan, OEM brass radiator, water pump, pulleys, belts, bypassed the Phh and rear heater, rebuilt the black hub fan clutch and flushed it out completely and swapped back to red. Oh, and added a Koso gauge. Running so nice now! Time to put some miles on it.

The wire often breaks where it goes from truck body to hatch. I replaced diode and learned the hard way
It looks okay, maybe I'll dig a little deeper into it today, got frustrated and left it alone last night.
 
Installed new marlin crawler tie rod end links and steering linkage. And a king steeering stablizer. I have not driven enough to decide if the stabilizer is worth’s the money, but it sure does look pretty.

Thanks guys, my installer skills could also be the cause...

Doesn't look bad. Did the posts from the diode go all the way through? I forget exactly what they all look like, but you took out the one that looks slightly different than the rest?
 
Got this wrapped up, the last piece of the puzzle showed up. 8an straight cut with O-ring to 10an flare.

New piece is on the left, the 10 an is the right size for the 5/8 hose

Was happy to see how much more flow the new fitting has.

This reservoir has about three time the fluid capacity, Plus the cooling Finns and the Toyota filter.
 
Removed my oil level sensor, cleaned it, put new gasket on (shipping was 4x the cost of the gasket) and then put it all back in. So far the oil light has stayed off. Yay!

Yeah I removed the odd looking one and installed it with the gray mark to the opposite side of the wires that power the board. I even swapped it to see if I installed it wrong. I think I'm getting a good connection with the flux but its still not working. Might try and see if the wires in the hatch are the problem. Worse case is I still don't have a 3rd light. I guess it could always be worse ...lol

What’s the part number on the gasket? I have the slightest leak and don’t want to spend the money to replace the whole thing.

Well if you want one of these diodes I have, just DM me anytime. Happy to send it off for no charge. Otherwise, Mouser is the source. I bought 10 just because they're so cheap and the shipping charges were the same regardless of 1 or 10.
