Damn, that's a clean rig! Definitely get that Xtra cab envy anytime I see one in the cream color. Post more pics of that thing! Especially curious about the rear shock setup on that rig. Looks like ADS shocks. I have those on my front but I've been wanting to add a set to the rear of my rig but...

Dang, you weren’t kidding about Marlin’s new site, it’s awful. I actually really liked how the original site was laid out, very functional. This new site takes way too long to navigate and find anything. Change sucks

I’ve always gone with bilstein but they irritate me in a sense that you can get anybody who speaks English on the phone who knows anything about shocks. I would go with OME shocks. People seem to like them. As far as shock size, I’d imagine the extended shock would blow sooner because it’s...

Door handles and window crank handles are a few items I would just buy aftermarket on eBay, Amazon or rock auto. The stickers can be sourced from James Dean creations. I’ve gotten a few decals from them, very good stuff.

What transmissions bolt to the 1KZ? Will the W56 or G52 bolt right up?

What a cool build, I can honestly say I've yet to see VW engine in one of these trucks. I'm super green when it comes to diesel tech but how are these VW engines? I've never been a fan of German cars but mostly due to ignorance.

Guess if I read your post I would have caught that you have the mechanical one… sorry about that. Cool build man!!

The 1KZ TE is a sweet option. I had a 93 runner with one in for a moment in time but never saw it run. Does this have the mechanical pump or electrical one?

Ahhh yes you are absolutely correct. Clean the crap out of it, FIPG it really good, let it set for a day and run it. Let us know what happens

cerakote looks cool. Where did you send that to have it done? How much?

I guess pulling the other sensor is out of the question seeing that’s how you got into this predicament to begin with lol.

Like use the other unmolested abs sensor hole as a guide to know what size sleeve you would potentially need. FIPG - Toyotas take on RTV. It’s better, trust me. I wonder if you could throw JB weld in the voids and sand it to match the rest of the hole… sounds ghetto but might be worth a try

Can you drill it and sleeve it? Maybe pull the other side out and measure the hole it goes into. You could probably have a machinist make you up a sleeve. You could always try FIPG but I think it will ultimately leak…

Looks similar to the ground wire for the alt found on the 22re

With that kind of mileage I can’t see your rings holding on for much longer. I and many others have been where you are at and done only what was absolutely necessary at the time only to have to come back a year later and redo things due to addition failures unforeseen at the time. I had my rings...
