    1997 SR5 Father/Daughter “Build”

    That is the idea with this project, but ultimately with everything right? Teach them what we know so they are just as independent and capable as ourselves I did some wire cleanup today. The previous owner definitely had some electrical done. I found what looks like previous splices for an...

    1997 SR5 Father/Daughter “Build”

    Yes the door open indicator on the instrument cluster works as intended. And I have checked each door switch to test it. I have been doing some researched and what I've found is that the wiring for the Dome lights are a little different. They are a switched ground or something along that...

    lol, no pressure washer, I did use a hose though. Just elbow grease really. Sprayed degreaser (I used simple green semi-diluted, 20% water lol) let it soak a bit, used a brush with a handle to break up the grease chunks, then hose off. Did that a few times to get a large majority of it...

    1997 SR5 Father/Daughter “Build”

    Thanks, I like to be thorough. As much as possible, I try to do it right, and do it right the first time (but we all know shit happens lol) I have not even heard of this speedi-sleeve you mention, I seems interesting though. I just replaced the seal.

    Weekend Update, Kiddo wasn't around this weekend, Had too much homework unfortunately :( Started by replacing the IACV, I did try to clean it out first, didn't work. Went cheap aftermarket on Amazon. <img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48703448816_604e408d63_c.jpg" width="600"...

    Thank you all for the positive support! We really do appreciate it! It's a slow and sometimes aggravating process, but we are enjoying it... so far at least lol Quick Update. We gave her a valve cover gasket job along with timing belt / water pump. I read about this on the forums lol, It...

    1997 SR5 Father/Daughter “Build”

    This will not be a over the top rock crawling beast. More of a reliable daily that can hit some trails on weekends type of build. (So much for a build thread right!? [emoji23]) Here’s the back story. My first ever Toyota was a ‘99 Limited 2WD. Picked it up with 190k on the clock. Needed some...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I assume yours is still running well and strong Yea, I'm sure a lot of this is simply superficial and doesn't effect the motor too much. This is only my second time seeing this in person. My '99 Limited 2WD was nothing like this, so I was a little worried.
