Bloody thing is cactus now. Tape is 100 degree celcius resistant but just to get me till tommorrow. Bought the hose this morning. Cost I really didn't want lolLooks like the PO didn't want to come across with the $$ to replace a cracked/broken OEM inlet tube mate.
I am afraid, this much water ingress could be from the windshield frameThank You! I suspected the same and sprayed it down with the hose after pulling everything out to see if I could find where water was getting in. I checked what I believe to be the drain line which was this tubing here but it seems to be in really good condition might tape the seams just to be certain

Slapped on the Trail Tailor diff drop. Great kit and installation was easy. Truck feels more “settled” similar to when I was at near stock height up front (19.5” fender to hub center).
Here’s a before and after pic of the CV angle (21.2” from fender to hub center):

Your truck is looking like a million bucks! That gold/beige on white looks exceptional! Time for a build thread!
What did you paint them with? That is my next project for my 03, same color.
Where did you get the other piece with the two tow hooks ? Pretty cool !Added an Agency 6 Soft Shackle Block 2" XL

Very snug fit but I was assured by Agency 6 personnel that mods were incorporated to fit All Toyota OEM receivers...
Cheers mates,

Excellent! Your truck looks new, even though you are in Maryland! If you haven't already, look into extended sway bar links from @TRAIL TAILOR - they made a huge difference on my truck.

Sanded, bonds where needed, phased through sandpaper grits, primer/filler, vht graphite, vht clearcoat. On the caps, used plastic adhesion promoter. Waiting for a cap from ebay as one was all cracked. Also waiting on some black lugs.What did you paint them with? That is my next project for my 03, same color.
