    Running Nicely... Little Red DLX got a new distributor cap, rotor and packing (o-ring dust seal) today and a wash. I figured that the old cap and rotor would look similar to the plugs interns of wear. They were a little rough. I didn't manage to snap a photo before they went into the bin...

    Couldn’t do it… So despite already having a new DC Tacoma and an 80 series I couldn’t part with our little DLC. I ended up returning to the PNW to finish house repairs/interior painting and then I drove my little truck over 1,400 miles to Minnesota….but it needed a little work before that...

    Sad to say this 1990 DLX is going to be for sale this summer. We are planning a cross country move and must thin the herd. We recently picked up a 2023 DCLB TRDOR and two trucks in redundant, especially in the city. I'm sure there will be a bit more etc between now and then as I solve a few...

    Hmm, I’m not much of a wheel fit guru, but you will have more luck if you post the size of the wheel. I have no idea what the 22 T4R wheel size(s) are. Presumably the LTD vs SR5 vs. Trailvs TRDOR are different. But consider searching for a wheel fit thread first.

    If we’re talking about the same part, the windshield wiper arms have to come off, and there are 4-5 stainless screws that need to be removed under the hood at the top of the firewall. It’s pretty easy and it’s pretty similar on my 80 series too. Highly recommend the 3M body sealer product...

    my photography skills under the dash with an iPhone are pretty low so no helpful photos. I struggled to have enough room to use my 3m seam sealer with a caulking gun. I was able to reach about 2/3 of the seam that had crumbled away, but without total dash removal I’m sure there’s a chance...

    Leak Free After a heavy rain last night I confirmed my leak is solved. That feels good. I began installing my new carpet from Rock Auto today. Was about $180 with tax and shipping. It’s pretty nice for what it is, but it requires lots of trimming and fitting and I’m not quite done yet...

    Ok I think ai found the leak. After running the hose slowly on the windshield for A couple of minutes I started to see water come i through these failing seams. The old brush on seam sealer has finally cracked and failed. I can’t remove anymore body panels at this point. So I’ll clean it up...

    Update: Water intrusion Took a bit more time to hunt after the water leak. I decided that I just needed to pull the carpet and clean out the cab and look for pooling water that way. The carpet was gross, and falling apart. I gave it a good clean with the seats out. Vacuum, then simple...

    I’ve only had one other 22re, and it was an 1987. It was quieter, but I know these engines are famously noisy…I’m doing my homework about timing chain guides, noisy valves etc.

    Water Leak My whole family is down with COVID, but before I was feeling too s***ty to get out of bed I pulled the wiper arms, and the louver to access the fresh air intake for the cab. While I didn't find a massive amount of mud and debris, I did manage to blow out a bunch of nasty dried up fir...

    Today I removed all the old stereo gear/ wiring. non functioning 6 disc cd changer mounted into DS storage box. Will need some sheet metal to plug the hole when I replace the carpet at some point. removed lots of speaker wire and a huge 4-6 gauge wire that was wired right to the + terminal...

    I sold my 1987 SR5 when I bought my 80 Series, and regretted letting go of it immediately. Nothing special, but a great little truck. This one is in much better shape, but the little bench seat isn’t nearly as nice as the bucket seats in the old one, and I miss the tach, and the trip meter.

    Tailgate is designed to make my LC buddies cringe when I roll up to the mall for a Starbucks!

    Greetings Mini Truckers... I recently picked up a 1990 4WD DLX Extended Cab Pickup to add to our motor pool. I have a thread about endlessly baselining my 94 LC over in the 80 Series Tech...but its long and rambling. I'm going to shoot for brevity here. Photo was from the CL post. Manual...
