Have you verified the current ICU is bad rather than the issue being somewhere else?
 
...Tech Alert ...

looks like its sitting in the seat next to the alternator if youre bored today :D
I think that was the toyota mechanic in towns diagnosis from a quick once over

The shop owner of where the truck is said it’s not getting any spark. He chased the problem down to the ICU. I personally have not checked it out yet but I do trust his judgement and that is a fairly common issue with the these.

Wrong model. I spotted it yesterday and got my hopes up.

Good news is Forrest got me in touch with a guy in Lenoir that has a replacement.
 
Small victories but with this thing even the small ones mean a lot. Passenger side exterior door handle fixed and 6 years worth of leaves and sticks from sitting under a tree swept out of the bed. Oh and by the looks of the back window I’d say the PO liked to deer hunt.

Yeah. Cool truck for sure. Our igniter seems just fine. Had ours for a little over two months. Have been spending every weekend base lining ours and getting it Trail ready. I have really been taking a liking to these trucks lately!

More little things, found this in the glove box and it made my day.

I know a guy with a Haynes manual found in a small town if you need it! Metal doesn’t have the qualities it once did. Never be able to leave sticks and leaves in a truck in todays quality...

Good lord I forgot I had a Haynes manual for it! Thanks for the reminder!
 
In think I've still got my "how to keep your Toyota pickup alive" book out in the garage. I think I bought it in 87 or 89

Might need to borrow it LOL

I just found mine and it starts at ‘89 pickups.
 
Are you up and running yet? What's next for the rig?

Sorry @Rice i just saw this.

Well she made it home today but not under her own power. With a big UMPH from the 4Runner and a little winch help from @jfz80 its now home sweet home. I’ll be able to start messing with it a little when I have time, although having 20,000 pounds of river rock delivered this week for landscaping the new house is definitely going to keep me tied up a while.

Might need one of those HAMOM thingys LOL
