Welcome to the forum.

Wise choice in building an older rig for trail duty, and leaving your Taco undented. Everyone always ends up buying an old rig once they get their first few crunched body panels on their Tacos.

You right, my mistake was wheeling my Taco while still buiding the older rig, but oh well, i still had fun doing it.

Normally that would be pretty funny, but I think the last time I saw either of you wheeling it was at TTORA Takeover '05. :flipoff2:

I'm just messing with you. I only wheeled twice this summer: Make-A-Wish benefit and EC4RJ.

Before I can wheel again I need:
new alternator
fix steering
diagnose/replace blown head gasket
weld in drain plugs (front and rear are just f'd up)
and the list goes on

If you need the gaskets for the head gasket job let me know I have a lot of spare gaskets.

Question for you, do you know where this connector should go?

I believe it goes on the starter.
Where did you get your injectors cleaned at? Mine have 209,000 on them, and im sure the previous owner Never had it done.

My injectors went from a 8.3% balance to less then 1%. I also sent the cold start injector to get cleaned but it seems like a waste of money
