A huge "thank you" to @ToyotaMatt. Replaced all 4 indicator sockets (turn indicators; 4WD; and Parking Brake) with the style with the plastic retainer ring that screws to the back of the bezel. The problem that I was having is occasionally the old sockets would come loose and fall out. Now everything seems to fight nice and tight.

This week end, go to the road....off road of course :
Got the brakes done and adjusted the carb and clutch then drove it around town on errands, beer runs, fowl refuge and a couple trail heads. Nephew put some shine to the patina.
While you have it off, it might be worth piece of mind taking it to a machine shop to see if it might be slightly warped and need surfacing. I would probably clean up those valves as well.Head is off. No noticeable head cracks or gasket deformation. The circled area appears to be where water had entered #4 cylinder between the gasket and head. It was the only delaminated spot, the rest of the gasket was sealed tightly to the head. Next step is to get the head tested and if it's good, reinstall.
Been a long time since I did this, Clinton was president last time I replaced a 2F head gasket. Used a OEM head gasket sprayed with Copper coat last time and that worked well. Any reason I should do anything different this time?

We all know that you are surely joking!Genuine key case upgrade.
The genuine key case was very small for my keys. Driving without a key case is also suboptimal due to the key noise. Custom case looks nice and keep the keys safe

The patina going on there is perfectNothing in the last week or so except pictures. I did receive my snow rated flasher unit and a handful of firewall grommets from @ToyotaMatt though, so that’s next on the list.
