I'm happy to solder some stuff for you.... If I can find some time to head up there... But as for figuring it all out, you're on your own!

Looks good though!!!

uh........

wow!

there arent that many wires i really need out of the body harness but i grabbed it all anyway.
i only cut out the lights and cruise everything else was unplugged.
i think primarily the power source, OBD2 plug and CEL are the only things in there.
the rest of it is in the engine harness which only needs the automatic tranny stuff removed.
i want to keep my current body harness in tact i can use the CEL that is there already and same with the gauge wiring.

it is mostly a time consumer, more than anything. i really need to find an ecu before getting too crazy with the wiring.

Wow is right,
What is going on here.
Are those wires coming out or going in.
I just opened this thread to find that all the fun stuff is already done, like tearing things apart.
Let me know whats happening maybe I can still help.

Hey Aric - Drop me a message, txt, email or what not. I'd like to watch and learn if your willing for a spectator.

TOY350 · 03-28-09, 01:04 PM

Aric you got this one no prob. The Science Works Museum was just preparing you I know! I'm sure the only reason you were there was for the "kids"

gnob · 03-28-09, 01:35 PM

i do got this one, should be no biggie.
i think i will employ Ty to cut out the garbage if he wants to learn something

and i will never deny playing with the toys at SW, i like to stand in front of the circus mirror, it makes me look burly.

i was actually at SW on some business.
i might have some bitchen swag for mcgrew, from my shop. :fingers crossed: and i could tell ya but then i'd have to kill ya.

Any update? Will you be taking I5 to the meeting this month?

gnob · 04-04-09, 01:01 AM

not really.
i am still waiting for a decent price on a brain or at least a few more free dollars.
i think i scored an alternator today, so i get to check one more thing of the list.

this is the after mcgrew project, so nothing good til after then.
i have a guy lined up on a straight gutted 3rd gen xtra cab for a good price, so i may cab swap after all.

2ndGenToyotaFan · 04-04-09, 12:33 PM

You're going to drop the 1st gen body? Is it for more room?

gnob · 04-04-09, 08:53 PM

something like that.
my mad scientist plan was calling for the 3rd gen with a front clip bob. then hopefully hanging the first gen fenders and fascia from some tube. the same would go for the old bedsides, a reverse bob with quick disconnects from a tube bed.

i will cross that bridge when i get there though.

my brother has been doing a remodel for me, so i have been his gopher bitch for the last week.
the 'yota is collecting dust, awaiting some more trimming and the york OBA mount to be completed.
the pump at o'brien store last year was good for 15psi. figured i would break down and mount the pump. its only been in the garage for like 6 years.
