I'd be tempted to just bypass the stock wiring completely at this point
Damn!
Good luck! 😅
If I wasn’t doing this in a hotel parking lot and had my tools and wiring I would.

When I get a garage I’m stripping the interior. I’ll rip out any and all unnecessary items at that point to include the amp and extra wiring. I’ll rewire then.
 
Happy Easter everyone.

I’ve marked a few more things off my checklist.

Today I’m installing a new head unit. Just trying to work my way through the mess that somebody had previously done.

Someone here on Mud should be able to share the stereo/speaker wiring diagram (thought I had it somewhere from when I installed my head unit, but couldn’t find it).

Edit: Not sure what year yours is but this may help:

I appreciate it, I’ve got the diagram:

My largest issue is I’m not getting power. I’ve got blue/yellow hooked up to solid yellow, brown to black, and grey to red. Not powering up. Just checked my fuses and all are okay.
 
Front and rear sway bar bushings and front link assemblies (PO did the rear end links right before I bought it).

Well it is out of the shipping box and on the engine stand and taped off for paint. Now time to research the best way to clean this engine up and repaint it since I know the factory paint is lack luster at best! Any recommendations on how to deal with this crappy dusting of paint Toyota put on this new short block?

Are you living at a hotel?
 
New wheels and tires
AC Delco charcoal canister.
Looks and smells good (no longer smells like gas in the garage)

If anyone is interested in 5 lightly used OEM size tires in the LA area for cheap, PM me.

Great looking truck. I have same color. What swing out tire carrier is that? Do you have any pics from where it comes out of the driver side rear bumper cap? I saw some install one like that on YouTube and it looked like crap where he cut through the bumper cap. Big gaps.
 
Already have it on that mirror and its still shaking. Definitely fixed it on the other side.
I added some neoprene foam at the mount points to stop the shaking. @Outsane shakey mirror fix is still much better than anything else out there.

Thanks. It's the one made by summit cruisers. There's a thread here somewhere if you search for it. Will PM you some pics tomorrow.
