There was a type of insultion i used several years ago .as a repair s kin on the bottom of my doble wide . I cant rember what it was called. it was like silver in clor and basicly several layers of Bubble wrap. Came in a large roll.Light and about a forth inch thick. Dont know if that could work or not.

lAW enforcement wants too be able too read that vin through the window in a wreck that can be important we have people here that switch plates and auto theft is high. they dont look under your hood parked . and no the old cars did not have dash vin plates.

do not have the dolphin at the house but my 1988 4wd xtra cab 22re trans type w56 5 speed has the metal vin plate on the firewall. and The dash vin on the dash. I also havea wash state sticker That states my truck is a salvege vecle as it was stolon in its past life. and bought by my dealer as an inserance recovery salvege truck the Dealer told ME right up front. as the truck was never wrecked i did not care. it has served me well for ten years. HE specialed in used toyota 4wd. IT also states that REMOVING THE SALVAGE STICKER IS A CLASS C FLEN EY. THE TITLE IS ALSO BRANDED SALVEG BUT DOES NOT MATTER TO ME.

MY personal opinon is there is no such thing as an all season tire that is a three season tire. a wint er traction tire is a winter traction tire .in wa state on a mountain pass we have at least six if they post traction tires requred and they do all the time they mean it. you will get a tiket. also if the chains required sighn is up you better have them on. four wd is exmpt but you are requer d to be in 4 wd setting.

THE DOLPHIN I bought in november had a bbq tank i removed it and am using a recertified 1973 HORZONTAL tank picked up for free and in beutiful condition at the county haserdaous dissposal site. Pay the gas outfit 5 dollors too check it out good for 5 years. I DO KNOW THAT SOME OF THE OLDER LARGE MOTER HOMES USED TWO UPRIGHT FIVE GALLON TANKS. Our local rv shops want 200 dollors for a new 20 pound Horzontal tank.
-
DONT KNOW about the other brands but the book from National RV says no towing at all with THE DOLPHIN OR THE SEABREEZE 1987.

THERE are lock companyes that will come and unlock a auto for a fee they often have all kind of tools can unlock anything made sometimes your auto insurence covers it could be 100 dollors plus not current on pricing . but they are usaly very good . use only licened and bonded companys. TOYOTA BEEFED up a lot I can openany 1977 78 in three minitis with bailing wire under the outside handle come under button up lift handel open door. i have locked myself out too many too count. I carried bailing wire hid under rear bumper on my 78 pickup and 78 minimax moterhome.

at 62000 the one on my wagen was cracked. would not mind seeing a picture of the one you remove. maybe it is the replacement one.toyota sold back in the day. all of the first ones cracked.

not at all that is a nice header Toyota offered a redesined all cast iron manifold that did not crack . but if a header will work why not. for the new to the discution we are talking 1978 20r.Maneah You are corr ect the rear half of carb heat box was all they had for a exst gasket. i once had a mufler come a part inside ALL THE BAFFLES blew back aginst the outlet closing it of and back pressuring the eng. that was on my 884wd xtra cab. Ihad too replace the Ma nifold on my 1977 20 R powered CORONA STATION WAGEN . Because it was cracked. IALSO installed the after market felpro brand ext Gasket set it helps a lot CHECK with Toyota i do not know if they if they still havethem IF YOU FIND AN UN CRACKED MANIFOLD IN A JUNK YARD CHANCES ARE IT IS THE REDSINED ONE AS VIRTULY ALL OF THE ORGANAL ONES CRACKED> long cracks right on the out side in the middle. THE 20R was used in the CELICA ,CORONA, AND the TRUCKS> ALL SAME

i use 3 m yellow super wether strip glue too glue on a new sheet of plastic and they do need to be there also keep water off door panels and seal out drafts

Those old 20rs org did not have an ext manifold gasket set on the head between the manifold and the head the felpro after market ext gasket set will help org all they had was the carb heat box rear half between the head and manifold. if ypu mean the long pipe bolts on the manofold where i live i took that off made covers for the holes. a pluged catlitc convertor or evena bad muffler can back pressure the eng. the org manofold was also subject too horzontal cracking they m ade a re engered manifold bought one about 1985 back then 150 doolors. it look some different. i have had 3 20rs. even the22r or re are hard on the pipe doenuts put 2 sets on my 88 4wd. bit the last has been ok. a hole in the manofold can be dangerous carbon monoxide agin
