I figured it out this morning and it was of course the stupidest thing you could imagine. Somehow when I reinstalled the shifter it was off a tooth and was not fully engaging in to park. I noticed when I put it in reverse it was actually showing neutral on the dash. Fired right up and runs great...

I’ve tested the circuit with volt meter and it looks like there is power everywhere there should be... I can do some more digging around in there. Would the starter still work if the solenoid is bad? When I run power straight to the switch on the starter (little black connecter next to main...

Yep solid CEL comes on with key in ON position. When I jump the diagnostic port it just flashes continuously

Alright mud, I am posting this out of desperation. Long story short, I just swapped a 1FZ from a low mileage 93 in to my 94 and its not cranking. No click or anything from starter when turning key. The motor ran great in the parts truck I pulled it from and it cranked fine on the old motor as...

A few updates to the build from this past weekend. What started off as simply replacing the cats snowballed in to replacing most of the exhaust from the cats up to the head. When I started taking off the cats I noticed half of the exhaust bolt were missing due to bolts that had been snapped...

Motor runs great! Theres an exhaust leak at the cat but other than that I haven't noticed any major issues with it. I might take it out and keep it as a backup or just sell it. If the birfs weren't totally shot and it didn't have quarter panel damage I would consider fixing it up as a flip.

Here's one for they guys saying leave the exterior as is for now... Also here is the parts truck I picked up last week :) 135k miles with no title and no lockers but same year and color . The interior is in decent shape and this should help me out a lot with putting my truck back together.

Thanks for the tips. I've had ACC quote a couple jobs for me. I will probably use them if I'm ever in over my head but would like to do as much as possible myself. I've met a few local guys on the forums like TEQiddiot that have been helping me out. I have all new seals/felts/wiper/bearings for...

Yeah I've been going back and forth on this for awhile. I talked to my friend at the body shop and its little more involved that just painting the fenders. I would pretty much have to do a full respray which gets $$$$. I put a bunch of time and money in to my last project and I ended up so...

Here's some of the parts starting to stockpile around the house. Not pictured is the OME 2.5 in medium lift and MAF 30mm front spacers. MAF full knuckle rebuild kit with new koyo bearings and some DBA front rotors/pads Got my SCS f5's couple weeks back. These are the 16x8 with 4.5in BS...

Thank for the info. Reading up on this now that you mention it. I've got a new OEM filter as well so I'll probably throw that in there. I just cleaned out the MAF and don't want to deal with that again...

Thank you. Looks good! Is the green on top monstaliner as well? I've got a friend with a body shop and I was planning on doing prep there. He suggested doing raptor liner so we can spray it on.

Here are some quick photoshops I did of how I want the truck to look eventually. I was going back and forth on painting it but I'm now leaning more toward bedlinen since I actually want to enjoy wheeling the rig. I'm leaning more toward the first image but I'm open to feedback!

After a couple weeks I got the truck back from the shop with the new trans. I've driven it around a good bit but haven't ventured too far since its still not registered. Once it came back I decided to do a full tune up with new spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, new belts, EGR valve...

Thanks you. I actually just bought a parts truck off craigslist with about 130k miles :). Same color and year but no title and no lockers. Ended up paying only $1500! Hopefully this will help breath some life back in to my truck. More on this to come...
