How has that truck been running?
My CDL is still giving me fits (permalocked), working with ironpig on an appointment. Otherwise it's been solid. The EGR engine light was solved with the 'EGR testing kit' found on these boards.

Ding ding ding!
2001 Toyota S22 with a V-Drive (versus the direct drive above). Only 102 hours on the mighty 1UZ. I picking it up from a guy in northern Kentucky, across the river from Cincinnati. He said it's been sitting for several years, the last registration sticker is 2015. Plan is to change the oil, timing and serpentine belts, fuel filter/water separator, plugs, fresh water impeller and dump the 35 gallons of 8 year old gas in it and see how she runs. The interior is a little moldy but it's cleaning up great with just soapy water.
For those interested here's some background on these boats.

I started a thread over here to track my Toyota boating adventures. Not much action over there but figured it's the right place for it.

Toyota Epic S22
I picked up a 2001 Toyota Epic S22 this week. I got it from the original owner in Kentucky, just on the other side of the river from Cincinnati. It only has 102 hours on it and has sat for quite a while. The last registration sticker on the hull is dated 2015. Thankfully it was under cover...

It does fall above the 1995 cut off, uses an OBDII diagnostic port and Toyota ECU.

Agreed! Being in Annapolis, @Von Hayek and I see a lot of watercraft...this thing looks like the bomb! Definitely more of a lake boat, but could use in the bay on a decent evening as long as you run a good flush through it after use.
I'm on Lake Ogleton, right at the mouth of the Severn River...we have a community ramp if you ever want to bring it this way, drop her in for the afternoon, ski in the lake and/or take an evening zip down to the city dock. We could also raft up and set up an afternoon/evening happy hour...

And my fish/cruise/party ride...
Well its not me thats working on it but my mechanic is hopefully going to be able to repair the wiring harness after an uninvited guest made a nest in my engine bay.
I have had big trouble with moose and Squirrel! ... the Lexus is now going to be called Natasha... if she gets fixed!
He is like 90% sure he can fix it. there is enough room where the damage was to cut it back and wire it back together... he hopes.

Hope you can get Natasha back up and going!
funny thing is that I looked in saw some leaves and all and thought it was from wheeling... the mechanic and l poked about in it the other day after it was dropped off... and today one of his guys went to clean out the engine bay area to inspect it and the squirrel jumped up at him... my mechanic said he almost peed himself laughing!

Just came across a vid the other day that had a car on a lift...mechanic pulled the lower front valance off and a opossum jumped out at him!
Hope you can get this fixed up and that you have a patient mechanic to do this. My son and brother in law both had squirrels eat their fuel lines back by the tanks on their respective Tacos.
Assuming that this can be taken care of, I'm working on getting my shop ready for your rear bumper project. Got the welder set up and fresh bottle of gas, some small projects on mine, and then should be ready to go.

He is a good and patient mechanic for sure. Also even though its business its a friend. My mom taught his father in 3rd grade and we have been using their shop since the early 90s.
He says he wants to take a weekend to do it not that its hard but just time consuming but he is booked this weekend so next is when he will tackle it he thinks.
I hope it is fixable cause I have all the bumper stuff ready to go and I would hate to not get to use it!
