Look under the cover thingy in the cross member to see if there are nuts/bolts in there

Thanks!

Still no budge...

Could this be my problem?

The good.
I scored a winch
The bad
Pretty sure my shackles will not be here for a swap on tech day
The ugly
My troll hole carb won’t idle for anything. Pulled it apart cleaned it and it ran fine for 10 mins then back to not idling at all.

Can you cut down your current shackles?

Status update:
Spent all my time I had today taking out a cross member that was never meant to come out... of course I find this out after taking it out successfully and being happy

The first mod for me on the Tacoma. Remote start using the OEM key fob. 100% plug and play if you have a 16+ with smart key.

What system are you using? I have the programmer for the Fortin brand. I have them in the Lexus and Tundra. There are some options that are cool with them. Auto heated seats below 32 deg., Auto relock. The downside is with the stock keys on you don’t have great range. 20’-30’. I would recommend a RF kit.

@1MOA I have these 2 sets available if you would like to use them till you can get your stock ones shaped out. I will look for a set of stock ones.

I could cut my current ones down, Also I think Chris' shackles would work. I will get back to the house and measure.

@1MOA Call Trollhole, dont PM him, about your carb issue, even if YOU weren’t the buyer. Tell him I sent you...if you dare. Marshall is a very stand up guy and vendor. I seem to recall most problems with his carbs being fairly easy to solve.

 

[Jakes40]

@1MOA also check your idle solenoid for power. May have blown a fuse or have a corroded connection.

2x on calling Marshall

The solenoid clicks when you plug and unplug it. It worked for about 10 mins after cleaning it then back to running like crap. Really thinking about making it part of a marine sanctuary in the Shenandoah River.

It's the N2 Designs unit. Gets good reviews on Tacomaworld. This one has the option for cell phone hook up but I don't want to deal with a subscription, or pay for it.

No it will be fine call Marshall he will help you out. Mine did the same thing. I took it apart and cleaned it out. Set the floats and fuel mixture and it’s good to go. Every now and then it will act up. Like the Idle jet gets crud in it. But it clears itself up.

Any progress? Workin on it today?

Current, untested, theory: The dishwasher, washing machine, and two showers were all being used at the same time and the hot water heater wasn’t able to fill up fast enough for demand, so the brown was from the sludge at the bottom. It’s probably never been drained in 15 years so I’ll try to do that later and see what comes out.

Drain the sediment annually and check the anode rod as well - replace the rod if necessary. Two easy steps to getting extended life out of a water heater. Mine is 24 years old in an area where everyone insists that water heaters only last 5 to 7 years.

I was messing with the furnace yesterday, and noticed water under ours. It's from 1994, so I guess I'll replace it...

@PRADO3 thanks for the help!
Managed to get all the skids on before having to leave for work. Now just need to go back and tighten all the bolts properly

Sweet! Enjoy! Those are beefy skids and seemed like quality fit too. Very tempted to go with budbuilt after seeing and handling them.

My flywheel cover was rusted out. So I decided to fix it with some heavier steal. Ran out of time for today. My back doesn’t like to stand leaned over the work bench anymore.

And I found the were my oil leak was coming from. I guess when I replaced my fuel pump in the parking lot of AOAA I put the gasket on upside down. Made a new gasket and we will see the next time I start it up. I also put new contacts in my spare Starter. Will be replacing it this week.
