Well, a little update. The defrost works! It was the grid. Not sure how to explain the oxidation level enough to deem it inoperable, but that was the problem.
Wow, so quick the arizonians jump on to defend themselves I am happy as can be with my Arizona rig. My assumption was the months of 100 plus weather since my back seat was so faded when I got it.

And I am from Hawaii, but now live in Tacoma. Rain doesn't bug me, 4 seasons would be cool too, but 4-5 straight months of 40 degree rain blows.

On a lighter note, just booked a trip for the wife and I to Hawaii. Too bad we don't leave until thanksgiving weekend..... Of next year! Stupid timeshare! Ha!

I agree. Black them puppies out. No one needs to know what you have inside.

Besides I don't need to see out the back, I have 3 cameras for that.

I don't know how they compare on prices to Black Lake, but Budget Truck Wrecking in Auburn has a good selection of 4 Runners and pickups!

Might have to try em out next time I need something. I got my back window for 50 bucks. I think he sold me an IACV for 10. just got an exhaust manifold for 15.

But I am not a snob, If I need something I will definitely look them up.
