I always just throw a towel up there if I have to open the hood that far

How much do they run?

What's interesting is they made it for the bask as well. What would hit that I'm not sure.

Actually, IIRC, it was only used on the back of the vehicle, only in later years. I'll try to dig up that info again.

NOTE: it may no longer be available until Toyota’s system is updated. Your best bet is to call your local Toyota dealer parts department and ask them to order. They can check availability across country instantly and not waste time.

I always throw the hood back!

Heater control indicator light arrived with the LED light upgrade from @ToyotaMatt ....this thing fell out from underneath my dash a while back.
I had no idea what it was or where it belonged. Now it’s working. Small battle won.

Just found it on a '69 FJ40LV-A inn the online parts catalog.

It is factory. @ToyotaMatt sells them. Your 40 might have one. Check before you buy

I did a "proper" brake adjustment on my drum brakes....Hung a strand of battery operated Christmas Lights from the roll bar for the kiddies and ordered a Lower Radiator hose engine heater for those hard to warm up mornings.....

Got a lift, tires and roof basket!

Find 63118-90300 on the 3/69-7/80 parts diagrams on Amayama Trading. Just shows up on the diagrams with a complete part number. Only shows on the back which is interesting. When I was at a dealer years ago they showed it on front and back. 8/80+ shows it on the front only with part number 63119-90300. Never figured why it is needed on the back.

I bought a 73 hard top in 1976 to replace the one in my 68 when I put it on it's side. It had the pad in front. I sealed the drip edge with silicone and never came off. Would have to locate part bag when I bought a few of these. One I put on my 70 disappeared within a year. Suggest adding something to hold it on.

.........One I put on my 70 disappeared within a year. Suggest adding something to hold it on.

Funny, I was going to mention about adding some sort of adhesive just for the same reason. I lost one somewhere between Amarillo, TX & Ouray, CO going to SAS #4 this past August. However, I did hit 80MPH (+) a few times on the Raton hwy and I-25. Now I have a bag of those suckers in my tool chest and a few in my console.

Step 1 of “the works” is always to lose all this junk

What years were they found on?

Good question....I have no idea. I do know know my 78 has a captive nut or capture nut under the dash which hood the light in place. Feel around under your dash and see what you find.

I'd say I rode off into the sunset....however, I actually rode away from the sunset.
