I popped off the valve cover last night to check valve adjustments.
All intake valves were 7 or 8 thou (spec is 6-10)
Exhaust valves, some were 11 and a few were 8 or 9 which need to be adjusted (spec is 10-14)
I'm planning to adjust the out-of-spec exhaust valves back to the center of the spec (12 thou) and leave the rest alone.

Some pics with the lid off. Maybe someone with 3RZ knowledge can comment on the timing chain adjuster position -- is it near the end or has a ways to go still?

I like all the mini mods you are doing.
Looks good.
I have same color, but definitely like your black flares over my OEM tan flares that need repainting.

Thanks! "Mini-mods" are definitely the way to put it.

Finally, a much-needed stereo upgrade. I now have two factory head units (replaced the first one because the backlight died) & a factory amp sitting around in case anyone wants it.
I added the Scoche din pocket thingy underneath which fit pretty well. It also made a nice holder for the Scangauge after fabbing up a could little friction-fit brackets. It just pops in and stays there snugly and can be removed easily if I want to stop looking at it.

Thanks! They have a story too. They came off of hand planes that belonged to my wife's great-grandfather, a first-generation immigrant to NY.

Manual hub conversion is complete! A *huge* thanks to Timmy the Tool Man
@ mtbtim
for pressing bearings and installing the knuckles with me.

I completed a heated mirror conversion on my base model 4Runner. First I swapped out the guts from some heated mirrors into my stock housings.
The heated mirrors have 5 wires while the non-heated power mirrors have 3. The plug inside my doors had 5 wires so I assumed I was wired for it... wrong! I had the relay and fuse and power to the fuse but one section of the wiring harness was missing. From the wiring diagram here, the wiring was missing between IG1 (big grey connector under driver's kick panel) and IF1/IK1 (smaller white connectors in driver's and passenger's kick panels).
@ DeathCougar
who supplied my heated mirrors also clipped out some connectors for me. I pulled the pins I needed, crimped together a harness, and now the heated mirrors work!
Edit: forgot to mention, thanks to
@ habanero
for the idea! I saw this first on hab's build thread.

And you did an awesome job adapting it to your particular wiring.

Thanks hab!
Here's a tip for the manual-hub-equipped (looking at you
@ habanero
and
@ Chuckles89
): Toyota wants $4 a piece for the hub dial o-ring (technically an x-ring) but you can get the right size from McMaster-Carr. $8 got me a pack of 25, so if anyone needs a pair of them let me know and I'll pop them in an envelope for you.
Old on left, new on right.
Installed with a bit of silicone grease
The McMaster baggie
EDIT 8/10/18: turns out the Toyota ring is not an x-ring cross section but actually has 5 points. With the Toyota rings the dial turns with the proper torque.
