Howdy folks! I have a 5vz swapped '90, and am not going to use the cruise control module. I want to add a set of ditch lights, and was thinking it would be cool to trigger the relay off the CC activation button! That way I don't have to run new wires through the firewall and add dash switches...

Anyone know good options for fender flares aside from bushwhacker? $400+ seems super pricey. There are a bunch of ugly rivet options for American trucks out there, but having no luck finding anything that fits a 2ng gen Toyota for in the sub $200 price range

Swapping a drivetrain and noticed a nipple near the trans shifter that looks like it's for a vacuum hose. there was a disconnected hose in the donor vehicle that looked like it routed to this general area. Picture with the hose attached, not sure if this is right, or where it routes on the...

Does anyone know of a complete cylinder kit for 2nd gen? I have a new ignition cylinder that doesn't match the doors and tailgate, which are all old and worn. Would love to have a single key and not have to jiggle/shimmy door locks. I think this Hilux kit would work, but doesn't have the...

Full set of headlight housings + side marker lights, brown radio bezel, and blue headrest from a 2ng gen 4runner. See Imgr link below for pictures. Upgraded, hacked, and un-used (in that order). I will ship them to you if you send me a label. Just feel bad throwing away if anyone could use...

Interesting. I do have the throttle body line. It would be nice to not have to worry about special coolant when out in the boonies. Maybe i'll just go with e.g. then.

Fixed!!!! GUYS!!!! GREAT NEWS!!!! I'm an idiot!!!! Didn't plug in the crank angle sensor last night. At least I think that's what it is, plugs in to left just behind harmonic balancer, pigtailed with the oil idiot sensor connector). Plugged that in, it turned over once and then fired. Holy...

To check injector signal, just use a multi-meter while cranking? For fuel rail, can I just crack one of the front banjo bolts to check presence of fuel? Such a pain there is no stock pressure read port, that's gonna be a future mod but have not found a simple method to check in my research...

Wet plug = good because fuel in cylinder, right? Yeah I spent about an hour triple checking the belt timing because it's a nightmare to get back in there. Unless I hallucinated from lack of sleep that's not it, but may go back and check if I don't find a smoking gun quickly

The one off the wire harness for the diagnostic port, right? And it just grounds onto the intake? Got that one for sure.

Howdy all, I need some outside advice for troubleshooting before I rush into anything stupid. 3.4L 5vzfe motor swapped into a 92 4runner using ORS harness. Ran great strong two weeks ago but busted HG, so I tore down and replaced HG, timing belt, water pump, tensioner and pulleys. Followed...

You know, I feel a bit stupid right now. Next time... Thank you!

Looking for information/schematics on the load bearing points on the roof. I am considering adding full length rails to the roof using strut channel, to which I can mount just about anything. But I'm worried about how much weight (and where) the roof can actually support? It has the factory...

Well, this post has seen no love, but here is an update; yep! Blown head gasket! I ran the "block test" chem test for exhaust gas in coolant, and it showed positive. Pulled the heads off following WorseThanChiggers video series (amazing); WorseThanChiggers - YouTube Blown head gasket on #5...

Good luck getting CA to waive fees on anything! I just moved out of CA in November and there is just about no way in heck I will ever go back. I despise the government of that state with the hatred of seven diseased camels. I think the link below is it, just spoof the purchase data. Also...
