Pulled the spare fuel tank. It was inop when I bought the truck last month and needed to make room to mount rear seat belts.

If this far from perfect.... I will never post here what I will finally get.
Started cleaning the stock paint and applying penetrol over it. Also got the sniper fired up and tidied up the engine bay. Also added the OEM light kit Toyota still sells. Off to get a new exhaust and tires next.

Chasing rattles:
I receive an order from Toyota last week, and installed a new right rear brake line clip (96991-10080) to solve my hard line to soft line connection rattle.
Also, my barn door handle was a little loose. So while I was in ACE Hardware last week looking for some faucet washers, I came across a thin nylon washer with a 1/2" inner diameter so I bought a black and white version.
I'm Amazed at what those two items did to address a couple of small lingering/nagging rattles.

How far were the tires from balancing? Did they use sticky weights?

Yes, sticky weights. There’s quite a bit of weight on a couple of them.
Looks amazing

Love it. What rack is that and is that a rod tube?

Found your thread, answered my questions. Really good looking rig. Makes me want to load mine up and head East for some trout fishing.

That roof rack is still a work in progress. It’s built from 1 inch tube which most of your standard ratchet straps won’t hook around. I’ve got to add some little rings or skinnier posts to aid with tiedown. I’m thinking I’ll also add some wood slats to the “floor“Of the roof rack. Gas cans and small totes and firewood don’t seem to line up with 1 foot on center crossbars
Took the 74’ out for a quick run to shake it all out. Then gave it a quick rinse off to get the shop gunk off.

Great solution. I went a much more complicated route and turned a pair of shouldered bushings out of Delron to solve the same problem on my very worn doors.
