Same way using some sort of line you can push down the drain. The rears are hidden in the back of the channel. Here is a video I took a while ago showing there it is.
2000 Land Cruiser Rear Sunroof Drain
Replaced all spark plugs. Cyl 2 plug was drenched in fresh motor oil. Is that a sign of bad rings? Or could it be something else?
All other plugs were clean except for Cyl 7.. can't quite get to that little bugger so it'll have to wait. Praying it doesn't go out any time soon.

Holy cow, nice work! Looks like that might be tricky to impossible to do without my very own surgery-grade micro camera, eh?

Lol, yea...that was a couple years ago when I got to test out a couple $10k borescopes for work.
I think most get pretty lucky just pushing some line down the track since there really isn't a lot of places for it to go besides the drain line.
Was the oil mostly on the outside of the plug (a sign of failed tube seal on the valve cover) or inside on the electrode (a sign of oil somehow finding its way into the combustion chamber)?

You're right, I wasn't. That's good to know. Although this was on a 34-year old 4Runner and I don't know that the bolt has ever come off? But I will keep that nugget stashed away in my brain. Thanks for the tip!
Project 250 finally got a bumper today! Super excited to be this much closer to getting it on the road! A little baselining and registration insurance ect and I should have it back on the road!

That is clean looking!
It was only around the threads and in the tube. The electrode was dry. I guess I'm safe for now
Valve cover gasket job is not terrible on these engine. But until you can get to it, at least check the valve cover bolts. It is not uncommon for them to come slightly loose, causing the leaks.

Got my 1020 Tslots today, really quick shipping as i ordered these on Friday and they came exactly a week later.
I used a piece of acrylic as my drill template
I drilled into my 1/4” MDF backer board that I’m using as my template to drill the actual aluminum with and mocked it up to see.
leaving that gap for the sunroof that i don’t use or i might realign the bar to center it not sure.
Have to enlist my son to help me get out on the roof to see how it fits
This is going to be fun with the brackets, I’m going to have to slot the bracket that mounts to the roof because the rear portion of the roof tapers in.
Not pictured, but I put some 1" spacers to get it of the roof and still maintain that low profile look.

If I didn't have a land cruiser maybe I could afford SYR gis! Lol
Thanks! The bidy is pretty clean, the underside is a bit rusted lol.
How did you get these off? I got replacement recovery points and using both an impact wrench and a breaker bar, they won't budge and looks rusted. Tried some liquid wrench (maybe not enough?) and it still won't budge. Was going to try heat next. Thanks.
100% with you on that, my wife has 4, I just have my same comp standard since 2008
