Wayyyyyy over due for these items. Had a couple cracked coils as well. Glad I got to it.

Used anthracite plastic dip to do my wheels. They are LC200 wheels so the only center cap with the Lexus logo I could find that would fit with the front hub was that color. Will see how I like it. Am trying to stay close to OEM looking but really only like OEM parts. It is a daily driver.

Changed the valve cover gaskets, spark plug tube gaskets, half moons and changed all the vacuum/ air hoses.

Also made a change to my wolfbox set up. After a week of driving, I felt like it would be better as addition instead of replacing the original rear view mirror, so put it onto my Rubi-Grid for now with a mount made out of ASA and plywood.

Finally got all my parts in for a major Maintenance session.
Timing belt, water pump, accessory belt and idlers, heater tees, thermostat, oil change, prop shaft service, new Radiator and hoses.
Man, are you me? I'm waiting on the "cmon down and get it" call from the shop after a new steering rack and a bunch of related front end/ suspension work, and this list, pretty much exactly, is my next set of stuff. Just... the next items on the never-ending old-truck maintenance list. The good news is that once that second list, same as yours, is done it should be up to date for quite some time. I hope.
 
Do you have a model number on that SKAR?

All the info you need is on this post.


I am so happy I did mine.
 
Oil change, fuel filter and an all new power steering fluid have been the order of the day, along with a degrease and clean of the engine bay. Nothing as involved as Doug's monster engine swap job!

I hope you’ll be a long time before you’ll need one!
 
Had a phone call from the garage who are doing my sill repair today asking if I can pop over... Oh bugger.

Well the rear arch to behind the rear bumper they found some pop rivets and went for an exploration. They dug up what looks like the back of a tailboard on a truck and a load of fibreglass 😬

On a positive note, the arches are intact and looks much better without the kutsnakes on there. Think I'll get some front wings ordered when the pain of this is a distant memory.

Unfortunately, that's pretty common for that area even if everywhere else is unaffected.
 
Didn't quite "do" but today I did order all my timing belt bits + preventative. I'm honestly surprised everything was cheaper sourced on Rock Auto, even with the current 25% off sale through Toyota going on now. (All parts sourced were Aisin)
For others thinking about doing the timing belt and water pump (I did about a year ago) how much did you pay for parts at Rock Auto? I ordered through Amazon - all Toyota and Denso parts and it was around $260 as I recall. I’m interested in finding how competitive each se outlets are,

If it's got to be done then so be it, I'm not surprised to find another bodge from the PO to be honest, it's just the way it was looked after. Hopefully when I'm done with it, I'll get some trouble free years.. 😆😆😆😆

Looking good Bungle! Wish we could've gotten the 1HD engines in the U.S.,:(
