Adding to this thread since I've experienced a similar issue but there's no setting to fix it -- even with the S-flow (direct air flow to occupied seats) setting off. Air will barely flow (similar to what you'd expect if the fan setting was set on lowest speed) out of the front vents on the...
My 1958 has the transmission overheating issue as well very similar to OP. I think I may have been mentioned earlier in this thread from my posts on IH8MUD. It’s overheated once on a high elevation 5 mph rough road in 4hi while my wife was driving solo. Less than a mile in. In 4lo it always ran...
Thanks for those details. Hmm, I don't see the sequence you mentioned in the pdf's. Did you have to learn by peeking through the gap? I'm exploring adding a heated mirror glass for my 1958. Was hoping to access what the wire harness looks like with the glass removed.
@EOD Guy Do you happen to have the glass removal procedure? It says click here in the pdf, and was hoping there is more detail on how the trim tabs hold it the glass on specifically. I've pulled/pushed/pried on it in a few directions but am nervous to break a tab.
Used it this morning. Works pretty well - albeit about 30F out with minimal frost. Excited to have this available but wish the mirrors were heated (1958 edition). It would be nice to have a dedicated switch for this since it does not come on when you select windshield defrost button.
I got the center console tray from smabee on amazon, and I love the thing. Good quality and very good fit. Stash keys, sunglasses, wallet, tire gauge, etc.

Here’s how Toyota installs them. I followed this layout since it’s the Toyota way. I’ve seen at least 3 first editions with this setup.
This way you only have to drop the silver front skid to change the oil. The black metal piece and plastic trim piece stays in place when the engine skid is...
Any one else notice a slight haze with their ceramic tint? I’ve been thinking it will fade with time but when direct sun is on it I notice it not being perfectly clear. The older non-ceramic tints I’ve had done didn’t seem to be as noticeable. SunTek CIR 30 black is what I have.
Thanks! I agree. The more time I spend with it the more I appreciate it. I thought I might miss some of the niceties of the higher trim models but the 1958 has everything I need. No regrets. Hoping to eventually explore a SDM upgrade down the road, as a nice-to-have.
If you have any questions...
Not yet. It has a small fairing that aims downward. I haven’t experimented with its location. It’s made up of two halves that run in the t channel underneath the rack.
I could be wrong but it seems Toyota set them all for 265s even though mine was 245/70/18 stock. My 275/70/18s consistently read 1 mph below my gps phone app speedo. The stock 245s started out reading 2-3mph over. Which means Toyota may have preset them all for 265s or it automatically updates...
Got mine installed over the weekend and took it out for a quick spin. Haven’t tested it with gear on top yet, that’s coming next weekend. Seems strong as hell and I’m very happy with it so far. I was expecting some bad wind noise but it’s not too loud at all. Will need some more miles to get a...
