The tabs that lock the console down were the main culprit. Once I pulled it and tapped on it, they were making a lot of noise, so I placed a piece of tape over each one which stopped the rattling but allowed them to snap back into place. The second point that was rattling was tougher to find but I finally figured out that it was the chrome trim ring around the gear shifter, so I placed some thick Gorilla tape behind the tabs on the bottom side to dampen them. Now it's nice and quiet again.
I finally took of the running boards!
Slee step sliders are on the way.

Drove down to Bend, OR, to pick up my new KISS drawers from @cruzerDave. Perfect cruiser weather!
Turned 288k on the way.
This part of the world is just beautiful.

Good stuff. Will try this! Thank you!
Finally took care of Heater T's - one broke apart as I was pulling it out. Oof, should have done it sooner. Just over 200k, not sure if they were original.
That said,
job.

Thanks to @Ramathorn15 for the push to do it myself.
How do you like that floor jack? Any regrets or picky points?
Got a Viair 88P so I can get out on the sand and air down. And then drive home with full time pressure. Works awesome. After a test run in the dunes and then on the beach, I did a hand wash in the driveway and flushed out a bunch of old mud and sand from the undercarriage.
I have that same compressor, works great, gets hot as crap though. I can air up one tire from 20 to 40psi, then gotta let it cool down.

No regrets here ... was $180 on sale at Harbor Freight. Exact clone of $650 Snap On. Raises to 24” ... I needed all of it to get the droop for the spring swap.
Yeah, I think it was getting pretty warm, the air hose was even hot on the last tire. I aired up all 4 tires from about 18psi to 35psi and didn't have any trouble, but I don't have big tires 265/75/16. I didn't touch it to see how hot it got, but I trust you on that!
Mine looked like original, they were brown. Replaced mine and hoses together to lessen the risk of a crumbling tee. My old tees looked bad, but still feel sound. I tried to crush one with a pair of channel lock pliers with moderate pressure and they didn’t break. So who knows...Finally took care of Heater T's - one broke apart as I was pulling it out.

Did you re-use the factory clamps? Wonder if they loose some clamping tension over the years.
Yes, I reused factory spring clamps. I kept an eye on them and so far no leaks. I just replaced hoses & clamps on my wife’s 4Runner. Bought new Toyota hoses and spring clamps. PSA: New Toyota spring clamps come fully opened with a red clip keeping them tensioned Open. If you like your fingers, keep them away from the new spring clamp when you remove the clip, they snap shut hard.
Thanks Dw- Im about to replace all the cooling system rubber hoses on my 180k service, and contemplated new vs. re-using the factory spring clamps. The cost of new spring clamps is probably upward of $100 for everything, kind of pricey for clamps.
Well, first up, got my "custom" radioactive green shells from @suprarx7nut ! I have the orange ones as well. Can't say enough about the quality and customer service. I think this one should stand out when I drop my keys in the dirt
Refoamed the subwoofer and driver door speaker on my friend's LX. Sounds much better now.
