My apologies to everyone who messaged. The amount of attention this received reminded me of why I bought it in the first place, and how hard it was to find. I’m going to hold off on the sale for now.
I purchased this in March of 2022 - then found out my wife was pregnant in April of 2022. The plan was to fix the motor issues and then build it into an overland rig. I finished the motor rebuild/refresh and have just been driving it on the weekends for the last year or so. I've put about 4,000...
I ordered (2) 70-8112. It looks like the Metra 70-1761 and Scosche TA02B are the same part. Can anyone confirm? The reason I ask is that my local O'reilly had the 70-1761 on the shelf, so I won't have to wait on shipping.
Spent my Saturday driving around with our 2 month old daughter and my wife. Getting the rig ready for spring and summer travels. The wife has a short list of upgrades to make it more comfortable, so here's what I'll be tackling next:
New Sony head unit with carplay
New speakers
BH3D double cup...
Thought I'd update for anyone else dealing with the knock sensor code. I ended up biting the bullet and ordering a genuine Toyota 89615-30050 from partsouq. It cost about $125 including shipping. No codes after about 300 miles of driving.
It runs great. I have about 1,500 miles on it since the rebuild. The 1,000 mile break-in oil change looked perfect. I still need to get a sample sent off to blackstone.
The only problem I've been having is still the P0330 knock sensor. I think it's because I haven't spent the $$$ on an OEM...
