Have a pretty good leak in the power steering vane pump (it sat for over 4 years, don't think that helped) so ordered a new replacement from an online Toyota dealer. Received it exactly as shown. Who ever "packaged" it needs to have a rectal cranial extraction procedure. Just notified them that they owe me a new one...

I don't know what it is with the some of the online depots that send Toyota parts. I had to order 8 steel wheels and return 4 for my 80. Even had them shipped to the Toyota dealer. Some would come in boxed in good condition, and the other had shipping tags strapped on to them and all beat up from shipping. :rolleyes:
 
Can confirm that the IACV does NOT come with the o-ring. Installed a new one on my wife’s 80 not that long ago.

Add the o-ring to your parts stash before pulling the old valve.
You are correct. I checked my new IACV last night, it does NOT come with the o-ring. I ordered it from Serra Toyota Decatur last year.

I feel your pain. Currently waiting on a THIRD center front bumper bar for my 80 due to the first two arriving pre dented. Neither were packaged very well.
 
Power wash morning.

For several months, it wouldn't start. After diagnosis and discovery that it was in the fuel delivery system and after a super long hiatus...she's running! It started! Fuel pump, fuel sending, fuel filter and fuel relay replaced.

While I waited, I got my Victory roof rack on. It is so nice. I've got lights ready to go on.

Furthermore - now that it runs, it can go into the shop and get the Coastal Offroad rear bumper welded up and the Facebook Marketplace ARB (maybe) front bumper on!!!

How do we know if you really got the Victory roof rack on??? No pics...no happen! 😁😜
 
Oops. Nothing attached. Let's try again.

I added the images to the original thread.

Not from a vehicle that had the oil changed often. :doh:
 
I was able to get the new exhaust system in from the cats back on my 93’ FJ80. Got the Muffler from Cruiser Parts that was welded up to fit the 93/94 Cruiser.

That's my next job, OEM tailpipe. I've been reading up and see a lot of people struggle to spin it in through a crossbeam. Any advice or tips while it's fresh in your mind?
 
Does anyone have a good tool for dropping the spare tire from the OEM location, hopefully a single piece for garage use?

I'm sick of using the multi-piece tool out of the emergency kit every time.
