Can you have the truck on for a while with the fuse in and the lights off without blowing the fuse? If it is absolutely only when you turn the lights on I'd have a very very good look at the wires from the trailer connector as that's probably the main culprit. Trace them as far as you can...

Hey there, I had it and messed with the wires in my tailgate and it stopped, not sure of I fixed anything though. After what Rad suggested I'd suggest thoroughly looking at the wires around where the tailgate hinges. It probably just takes 4-5 seconds to heat the fuse enough to blow. Another...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a headlight solution that will be pretty easy to install in my V6 '88 5 speed. It gets dark in Yukon territory really early and for a long time in the winter, and would like to be able to see again. Maybe the easiest solution will be a light bar, but I'd rather go...

I think Hyde drove into that ravine on purpose! I usually am not a fan of a wheeling build but I enjoy the decals and tailgate work on your truck Hyde, keep it up and keep having fun with it.

I'm not big on the 5th gen styling, but your build has a classic vibe to it that I think looks great. GLWS!

Bump, anybody live up here?

This is a longshot I know because these are so sought after. I have an 88 and love it to death, but considering finding one in better shape to pour my money and time into. I'd prefer if it were in the Yukon, the West coast, or close to Winnipeg for my own logistics reasons but will consider...

Hello, my truck is looking pretty rough in the paint department after 31 years. I'm wondering what experience people have had with restoring their paint job at home? What's a good source that's been reliable for paint matching the stock colours? My paint is 8D8, metallic light blue, here's...

Ah, good to know! My truck is stocky, which is how I prefer it. My brake lines all need replacing, and at least my front calipers, but I'm pretty new to the brakes game. Should I bother trying to replace them with stock compatible parts, or is it worth looking to installing newer parts like...

I have an 88, would the kit in that link work for mine?

First step is always explaining what your vehicle is, guessing they would have gotten better responses had they started with their model year, engine, and transmission.

24mm on the driver's side. Not the hex key on the passenger side. You likely have the R150F transmission unless someone changed it on you. Toyota truck transmission identification – Core Shifters

Been a little while...

My other 3.0 in my avatar gets about 12 (but I think there's an issue with it), I've been really happy with the performance of this engine. It's in an 88 5 speed too.

Well, after reassembly and having it leak, disassembly and retightening and reassembly I am happy to say that the leak is gone and my truck is purring once more. On my last tank I measured my fuel economy and got 21.25 mpg highway which I am very happy about. Only thing is the idle has seemed...
