Sun's coming out, figured might as well do something new for me.
The area isn’t flat so not sure if extending the panel is the right solution.
This wasn't that hard to set up 17 bucks, A few connectors, some wire and about an hour of my time. If anybody's interested I'll do my best to write up how to do it.

On a ‘87 22-RE with ~270K mileage. My head gasket is leaking coolant ( white smoke in the exhaust ) I did the gasket and timing chain my self 60K miles ago, probably did a shit job. I took a weekend. I’m trying to decide on doing just the gasket or doing a full rebuild. I was wondering about the time it takes to pull and rebuild vs. just doing the head. Any thoughts?
Anyone here done it? Was it worth the 6-10k it's probably cost? (I don't weld). What's your experience? The Total Chaos kit is 5200$
This pic is in a Land Cruiser HJ47, but the knob is a reproduction of the 1st gen 4runner, 1st/2nd truck... 2,000 units available within two months time
Getting conflicting information that says the 3rd gen like this part number 00550-35976 fit but haven't been able to confirm. Shooting for everything to look as close to period as possible.
1st gen heater control valves sell for over $100. Has anyone here fitted a more affordable version designed for more recent generations?
Finally got the truck dialed in and thought I’d give BaT a try and make sure it goes to an enthusiast. Anyone here ever listed there?
I’ve done a bunch of good used motor swaps. And a couple dirty cheap rebuilds. But this one is the “nice” one. I didn’t realize how much more work it is. Every time I see the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel” I find something else that needs attention. But now I have to do it. Every bolt. Every part must be clean and perfect. I am being held hostage by my 4runner. Send help. LOL.
But in reality I’m happy I’m doing it right. Hopefully she appreciates it and treats me right for a long time.
Got this for $1500. Runs drives stops. Restoration time! What ya’ll think? Worth the 15?
