Looking sharp...
Looks like you have teeth on the front grille.
Congrats on getting the wiring harness done too. What a major accomplishment.

Thanks! but I think the hard part is yet to come! getting the lights wired and working.
the "teeth" are my toyota emblem
Are you going to do the relay setup that is on the tech link for the headlights?
I was thinking of going to a junkyard and looking for a relay bank under the hood of a car to pull out and use. I know my wifes honda has such a relay bank in a nice weatherproof -- or at least visably conceiled thing.

honestly I haven't thought that far ahead. It has come together pretty quick the last couple weeks and there are a few things I have yet to think through before completing, lights being one of them.

Hi Zane. BritKLR and I plan on heading out Saturday morning, staying over in Colorado Sat night, and then arriving at BFE Sunday.
I'll PM you my info. Lets make sure and get together one night there. When are you leaving? If I recall, you said Sunday?

Thanks for that! Will keep an eye out.
Well, only 4 days tell departure and my entire rack and pinion has to be replaced in my 100! 
it exploded on me Sunday afternoon, in my driveway! Long story over some beers at camp. Scheduled to get it back today or tomorrow.

Better now than on the way or on the trail!
if you both are putting in a new wiring harness you wont have to do the headlight harness upgrade. not unless you ran really small wires to the lights from the switch. when i put the new wiring harness in my 40 the wires for the headlights were much larger than the stock that i ripped out.
hope everyone has a good trip out to moab. I wish me and the mrs were going again.

thanks for the tip! I suspected that but didnt know if I would still need a relay in the system.

Ready?
I'm, ready! Or so I thought....
Check engine light came on, scanner can't read data. I thought it was due to me changing to 180 degree thermostat, so just change it back to 195 degrees, right? Oh no! the hood release cable has come undone, and can't get the hood open. Takes a bit, but finally get it open. Fix that issue. Change Thermostat. CEL still on. Did the jumper trick. Code 13. Have to replace Oxygen sensor. Can't budge it. Took it in to have new bung welded in.
Inline fuel pump starts emitting high pitched squel. Buy new (expensive) pump, but now the squel stopped, so not sure what the deal is there. I will hold on to the pump in case it needs replacing. Will change filters just to be sure they are not causing restriction.
Find a plug wire loose. Somehow got dislodged from the connector. Get new wires, heck might as well do plugs. Did all that, and did not break anything else.
I'm almost ready..... yes, I know, I am whining.
I was just panicked for a bit.

I just had a headlight bulb go out! 
glad you got it figured out!
think some of your bad luck has rubbed off on me. The oil filter bracket on the 40 is cracked where my oil pressure sender screws in. which explains why I could not get to stop leaking.

Always something! Good luck with that. At least now you can get it repalced and move on to the next thing.
I am packed, ready to go. I have a cross threaded O2 sensor, but it is going to have to stay that way till I get it fixed. Long story, but the CEL is off.
Fridge is cold, beer is in. We depart somewhere in the 5am hour.
See y'al in a week. We never got the info from everyone, but Zane, hope to see y'all out there sometime. Safe travels.
