Bumper: On an older Land Cruiser with a plastic rear bumper one side got torn loose on a rock. I was able to get a screw through the bumper near the mount, and then used J-B Weld to affix the mounting bracket of sorts. Used some body putty made for plastic bumpers along with a bit of touch up paint. Looking at it from the underside, obviously not stock, but from an external view it was fine and held up for the few more years I owned it.

VSC: Not sure how this system works, but I know the wheels have to be pointed straight ahead when one does the reset.

It might be the VSC is still related to my CEL, due to the O2 sensor needed to be changed. this is bank 1 sensor 1, that failed, not sure if i can do it myself without breaking it off...

So instead of going under the car i decided to go to the shop to change O2. "Few bucks" as they promised on the phone turned out to be $125. No special tools were used and i doubt they applied the grease onto the new one, but i guess this sensor will die with the car anyways..so lights are gone, both vsc and cel.
got the replacement rear height sensor, will have to chase the threads, since i broke off the bolts and drilled new holes.
leather is coming in today, but i screwed up when cutting off the heater pad from the back of the driver seat, have to fix it
