Curious on the wiring since I’m going to embark on the same journey (1997 80 series/1VD-FTV/Auto). Do you know what all was done to the 200 harness to work in/along side the 80 harness? Any wiring diagrams? Any information would be a massive help. Thanks

The bracket for the compressor

Wanted to update my air locker solenoid setup, and the location of my air compressor. Ended up grabbing a cheap Amazon vacuum block that had the same thread pitch as the solenoids. Bought a regular flexible air hose to cannibalize for the setup. Welded up an aluminum bracket to mount to the...

Some trail damage. Going down the front side of Daniel and the dreaded tree got me. Toyota made their glass stronger than the quarters I guess. Glass has deep scratches from tree contact. Also another tree, same day, snagged my mirror and ripped it out of the metal in the door. Didn’t break the...

Some more pics from this year. I’m a little late to the party.

End of the season trail damage overview. Really not bad. I’ve learned a lot this year about trails, my truck, choosing the right lines, what direction the truck will go in the future, what tools/parts/fluids I need and don’t need to carry, and so much more. Constantly scrolling the forums and...

Didn’t want a standard center console and I also didn’t want to plumb in the AC lines for a factory center console fridge. So I built a base platform, and mounted a 12V 23L fridge. (Eventually I’ll get a bigger fridge for the back). It’s the perfect width and height, all you have to do is remove...

I had to modify the transmission crossmember further after everything settled to prevent the transfer case from rubbing. While I notched it, I powdercoated the cross member and the t-case skid plate. (New home made skid plates coming soon). Started piecing together the tool/fluid/parts boxes...

Nice meeting you too! Hoping to see you all again next year. I have added modified caster plates for 6°, but no pan hard correction yet. I’m currently piecing together a 1 ton GM TRE setup now. Just trying to make it more durable (not that it’s ever let me down)

With no working gauges (besides volt meter) I sent it on the Relic Run. Did all the trails at Uwharrie. No working gauges, no center or rear locker, 25psi in the tires, welds still hot on the truck as I rolled away. Maiden voyage (further than 25 minutes). Installed the front driveshaft after...

Installed and tested new LED headlights, and a Baja Design light bar. Bought different diffuser lenses to decide on a beam pattern. Installed an older single ARB compressor for the ARB air lockers and for trail air. Ran it through the touch pad in the cabin. Will eventually go with a different...

Took an older Warn winch and built a high clearance winch plate to mount up in the grill. Rewired the controller with newer cables (first picture is pre-new cables), and cable sleeves, and mounted the box up in the bay on a plate to get it away from the elements. And to keep the grill open for a...

The truck must have been owned by a man who enjoyed spilling wood stain in the trunk for fun. It didn’t feel right to install the old one. I went for a darker brown to match the darker portion of the dash.

Didn’t like the old turbo down pipe flange, and wanted to go to a more modern V-band and 3inch stainless down pipe. Also welded in the “all mighty” important EGT bung
