How about affixing a small tube or hose to a shop vac and sucking it out?

Thanks.do you have a link to that other thread you mention?
Also removed the upper console fold-down drink holder (which I always found absurd and quite useless) and mounted a Wits' End APU2 in there - more sensible and more usable space now.
I just did the same,
Great product!
Good idea but looks like the dealer fished it out with some scrap landscaping supplies I thought might work - a drip irrigation stake fed into a drip irrigation tube coupled with a great boroscope.
Took her for a long 4th weekend at the lake. Everyone suffered some body damage including the brand new 4runner 
Spark plugs, PCV, air filter, fuel filter and a new gas cap!
Not sure if it's in my head, but it seems to have more pep and runs smoother...
Here is at least 15 HP!

Pulled double duty yesterday, without breaking a sweat!
Took a quick trip to The Dogwood Campground outside Blue Jay. While saving my pennies for a new roof rack I went with the uhaul mod to stow all my camping gear. 4 kids and a wife eat up space in the 100.
Delivered scouts to the Blue Ridge Scout Reservation, Camp Ottari in Virginia. Spent the week with them, did some training myself, including CPR certification and then brought them home today. 273,797 miles on her and going strong. Love driving the old girl.

Hot here in comparison to WY, but nice.

Newbie Alert! First post for me:
I just bought an '04 and LOVING it. 150k miles. Pretty overwhelmed with the 150k-ish preventative maintenance that has to be done but deliberately working through the list.
This week:
- Diff Change (front & rear) translucent oil, no metal of any kind on the drain plug magnets
- Motor Oil Changed to M1 high mileage, M1-102 filter, fumoto drain.
- Greased Drive Shafts
- Level Front End (torsion bars)
- Installed DEPO Headlights. I was BUMMED I had to do this. I wanted to keep the OEM glass ones but had serious hail damage from the other night. OH, did I mention the hail storm that pummeled the LC 5 days after I bought it? Put LED's in DEPO's and probably going to return the bulbs. The threads are correct: LED's don't belong in reflector housings.
- Dropped the skid plate to check things out. Broke off 2 bolt heads (barely put muscle into them). Drilled, easy-outed..... broke off the the easy-out in one bolt (!@#$), beer, punched it out, retapped threads on two spots, WD40 the heck out of all of them, replaced ALL with stainless.
Lots more to do.
We live in remote central South Dakota at the widest point of the Missouri River. Our road down to the river is a 45 degree. Usually have to take 4-wheelers down. The LC handled it like it was nothing. Boy, do I love this vehicle.
Picture from tonight with some of the fam on the beach:

Finally got around to making my tire dressing shield. Put together a little video on it.

Upgraded brake and reverse bulbs to LED, inspired by a brake light going out. Didn't pic last night but MUCH brighter. I used these:
Amazon.com: JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright PX Chipsets 7440 7441 7443 7444 992 LED Bulbs ,Brilliant Red: Automotive
Amazon.com: JDM ASTAR 1200 Lumens Extremely Bright 144-EX Chipsets 7440 7441 7443 7444 992 LED Bulbs with Projector For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White: Automotive
If not for breaking two of the tailgate carpet mounts off (despite suuuuuper careful prying) was a quick/$50 job. Nice to do something cheap and simple for once, it seems to have been all major undertakings lately...

I always just spray the edges of the tires (outer-most half of the tire), then take a tire applicator and dress the part of the tire that is closest to the wheel so that little to nothing gets on it. What you came up with is useful but I do this for a living so I would need a dozen templates for all different cars.
