Had it towed :/
Was driving it along just fine, then the battery light came on, the radio turned off, the dash lights dimmed, power steering slowly became heavy, then the car sputtered to a stop and wouldn't shift to park. Luckily I had managed to make it to a Wal-Mart right outside it's tire/lube/express department, and had the guy check the battery, which he said tested good (was purchased 11/11) but was barely drawing a charge. Let the car sit for a few minutes, fired it back up, everything worked again - guy tested it again, showed it was getting full power and charging fine - put it in drive, the battery light came back on, and the lights all dimmed until the car idled itself to a halt. Figure it's got to be the alternator, so there's money I didn't want to spend, seeing as the 180k interval is approaching in about 6,000 miles...
then test the alternator itself.

last few days has been interesting, steering rack is unbolts and ready to be pulled, high pressure line is out and ready for a rebuild, and realized my IAC valve is leaking so that's either getting replaced or plugged+cleaned up once i confirm the pump is still good.
While i'm at it i'm rebuilding my front calipers as they're a little sticky, and having the front rotors turned (or end up replacing them).
moral of the story: don't let life get too far in the way of maintenance, or you end up doing a ton of it at once.

best part was converting the trunk light into LED using a 48-LED array. so much better lighting over stock (what was toyota they thinking with a single 194 in there?).
