The old girl got a bath! I picked up a bottle of AHC fluid and discovered that my AC doesn't work.
Heater by-pass pipe leak fixed (replaced the assembly), both by-pass gaskets replaced, plenum gasket replaced, intake manifold gasket replaced, carbon deposits cleaned, throttle body gasket replaced, immediately went offroading up in the mountains for picnic....no leaks so far.
More importantly than all that boring stuff I finished the driftwood tiki bar sign for the back:

This is how it was looking not even a couple weeks ago but I keep driving through puddles...
Your next weekend project should be replacing that radiator
WAY ahead of you my friend.Your next weekend project should be replacing that radiator
Done LONG ago.
Dang........now THAT is clean. The dirty one looks good too, means you use it.
Edit/Update:
Took a couple readings tonight to follow up on this.
Wife came home and parked the vehicle. It had been driven for 20 miles at highway speed. I let it sit for 10 minutes and then went and looked at the pressure. It had dropped to about 36 psi.
I then cranked the engine and let it idle for a few minutes before recording the pressure (about 40 psi).

Finally! We got to really get out and take a trip with the LX.
Currently in the far West Arizona area about 30 minutes East of Quartzite.
KOFA is literally just down the road and BLM land is all around too.
We are staying with family who are local here and they are showing us around offroad.
Yesterday we went to Queen Canyon and had lunch inside "Skull Rock".
Easy and fun trail if you are in the area and get a chance.
Lots to see and do, enjoy!

Got my passenger side finished up. New cv axle, LBJ, drive flange, and nitro UCA. Plus got the Slee diff drop in and got an alignment done.

Thanks flint, I'll add to my date base.
There is one more reading and a side notation, I'd like to see from you, next time your in tech stream. If you don't mind me asking.
It's with engine off, running fuel pump through tech stream. FSM range is 38 to 44PSI. States replace FPR if pressure high. I'm seeing in 3 I tested 46 to 47PSI. Accuracy comes into play with any gauge. But still, I don't think 47PSI enough to justify replacing FPR.
One other thing I once notice (need to check closer, on some more fuel pumps) was; Fuel pump would pause about every 20 seconds. I do know others paused, but I did not take the time to see if keep repeating every 20 seconds.
650+ miles after I tightened the valve cover bolts on the driver, confirmed that no more oil is leaking.
Left the lx overnight outside with 40°F temps and the next time I used it the timing belt was flapping around, the timing belt pulley pivoted and the tb had no tension. Had to remove the Aisin tb hydraulic tensioner again to push the pulley towards the belt and reinstalled it again. Tb tight back again. Ordered a new Toyota OEM hydraulic tensioner 13540-50030.
Took a visual inspection of the reman denso and looks to be fine, I just noticed I’m just getting 13.5V on an average with this alternator.

Not an OEM t-belt. Odds are the water pump, tensioner, and pulleys aren’t either...I would replace with the Aisin TKT-021 kit just to get that aftermarket and/or never-replaced-high-mileage stuff out of there.

Once my engine warms up and the Denso Reman (from NAPA) the voltage is in the mid-13's. I have had it tested a few times and it has always tested good. Both on the truck and pulled and tested at my local Starter and Alternator shop (Dayton Quality Starter).

x2 - mine starts out around 14.2 and then stays mid/upper-13s after warmed-up.
