Bob put a tarp on all those parts on the trailer.
55 looks good. They really shouldn't look new. The uglier the better. Just the way Toyota intended.

Replaced the O2 sensor last night *crossing fingers* gotta put some miles on the ODO before I know if that was the issue after clearing the codes.
cant put a tarp on those parts, it would promote the rust... they are going into storage inside a new building soon... like april 5th...
That is the old spare...
fixed then broke a solder joint on the rear window switch on the 55 I think I am going to try one of those old fashion copper head soldering irons you put in a flame to heat..
cant for the life of me find the ratzin fratzin voltage regulator on this 55...!!!! There is a box under the dash labeled "main relay" and it is the closest thing I can find....
found out the rear window motor is working, and a bypass around the safety switch, also found out the gear is broken.. as if it would be any other way.... and realized I need to order 3 gears at 65$ each!!!
With my commercial account (I figured owning about 7-9 cruisers qualifies me for a commercial account) I can get:
both calipers
both wheel cylinders
wagner quiet pads and shoes
a MC
a clutch MC
a clutch slave cylinder
all for 300$
not from toyota, but from Napa and about the same from Advance...

Rolled the 60 out and gave it a thorough washing.
Scrubbed out the rain gutters, and the body and with a variety of brushes and some Meguiars car wash and a bottle of diluted purple power (to get the moldy residue off)
Took a scotch-bright sponge to the door jambs with the purple power and was really pleased with how clean it came out, especially the seam sealant.
Overall, the paint is in better condition than I thought. I have some wet-sanding and polishing to do, but overall, I think I can get away with some minor touch up work.
Of course, that is based on my intention to spray the lower body section with line-x and paint the new hood and tailgate.

Moved all my crap back into my new garage, ran out of funds for the time being so she still needs paint and lots of trim work, but I was able to actually park the 45 in there and it fits!! Where as before I have about 4' hanging out the rear 
Took my 3 year old daughter for a spin on some local trails in the lc......she was mad that we didn't get stuck in the mud holes!
Kids....gotta love 'em

I fixed the blinkers in the 40. The old flasher didn't work to well upside down and full of water. Also changed the oil out in the 80.
Removed the old starter today and started putting in the new one....got called away for dinner so I'll finish up tomorrow....here is a pic of the old starter the teeth are mighty worn
Drove it home from the hospital with my precious baby girl! Jenna was born last Tues. Mom and baby are doing great! That family membership pays off.
Friday the 100 gets new boots on the front end and new OME shocks all around...finally.

Finished installing the starter and got her to turn over....I had to siphon the gas from my lawn mower to put gas in the carb...still think I have a distributor/timing issue to fine tune....but glad that after a year she turned right over...THE MAFIA LIVES!!!! I've got a video but can't get it to upload, I'll work on that
Josh congrats on the new baby.
Chuck that starter looks familiar.

Ha, I think I just figured out why it wouldn't stay running by lookin at the picture, I didn't hook up the vaccum advance from the distributor to the carb....will do that tomorrow and see if I'm lucky.....yes it is very familiar looking marshall...hmmm
