Replaced starter, fuel filter, PCV valve, and also injector seals. Also took the time to clean out the intake manifold, and head intake port. Was able to remove a lot of gunk! Did a test run after, and I feel like I regained quite a bit of horsepower. I thought it was in my head, so I took the wife out for a spin and she also agrees it feels noticeably faster. Could be better airflow through the intake port, or more fuel because the injector seals were leaking a bit, or maybe the old fuel filter was restricting fuel flow? Hard to say but I am happy!

When I cleaned mine I could tell quite a difference. I replaced the injector seals when I did it too. Those are some pricy o-rings. When I did mine I cleaned and tested the injectors.
 
I installed the new Ironman shocks and springs Saturday. I think I had a harder time with the springs than the rear shocks. Still have to install the torsion bars and UCAs. I adjusted the stock bars to raise up the front a little until I can do that. Here is the current state now:

Added OEM wind-deflector and my windshield noise/whistle is gone. Part # PT42760040 purchased from local dealer. $102 out the door. Fits my ‘01 beautifully and comes with screws needed to attach simultaneously with existing hood gasket.

Lucky you, i ended buying 4 of those deflectors from Toyota, they all were warped and had to be swapped out.
I want one badly.

That’s a shame. I wasn’t going to mention it but this one has developed a slight bow in the center; I couldn’t figure out what happened but perhaps this batch of plastic is softer than it should be.

That's what i encountered. Waves in the plastic. Horrible. I tried using a heat gun on one without success. One also was so bad that once you mounted the holes on one side the other sides holes were off by more than an inch.
