working my way through the doors on the 450, slowly!
Orikawa door cards and new 6.5” speakers

While I’m in there,
New door stops, vapor barriers from DeltaVs
Clean, grease window runs and regulators and hope for better functionality
Kilmat sound deadening after being inspired by @MTsoul super badass 4Runner

Chipping away…

Got my garage warmed up to short sleeve temps and applied the deadening mats to 4 doors.

Operation door card continues…

Built a barn door into the brewery / canning kitchen. Going to line it with plates so using secondary kitchen dishwasher to clean plates. I used to buy way more Toyotas than I do now. Always saved the plates though.

Those roof rack cages around the topper are so sweet.

Got one side of the brewing kitchen barn door done tonight.

Sorting through the pile for the backside of the barn door. It will be closed probably 98% of the time. Found a cool one from my past. Definitely will need to hide it on the backside of the door.

Manufacturer Dealer. It was supposed to be destroyed.

Snuck out to the garage this afternoon to freshen up my rear bump stops.
Only broke one bolt gettin the old ones off, my drill-out job on the broke bolt rendered bad threads so helicoil or maybe drill out for M10 bolt.

Also adjusted parking brake shoes. We’ll see how it holds but confidence is moderate

Put a new block heater in today after the original failed earlier this winter. Hopefully find time to fill it with coolant tomorrow and get 'er out for a drive. I'm planning to just use generic coolant from the auto parts store unless people recommend something specific. What was in there previously was red in color.

Wheel bearing was a bit loose. But since the wheel was off decided I probably should put these 80 series bead locks on. They have been in the rack for years. Got rid of all of my 80s and 81s probably 5ish years ago. This 4Runner has 80 axles so might as well.

Toyota red coolant is generally the recommended flavor, you should be able to get a generic equivalent.

Fresh injection pump today, upgraded from the stock, leaky 10mm pump to a rebuild 11mm unit. Looking forward to improved cold starts and better running overall, not to mention no more diesel going all over the engine bay.

The old IP was pretty grimy after doing thousands of miles weeping fuel.

@samh I run red in the new Toyotas but green in the old one. Just make sure it’s mixed appropriately for -20 or -30F. No good to have the block freeze.

Thanks for that detail and nuance, @90WT.
