New valve cover gaskets, new intake manifold gaskets, new starter, new battery, cleaned entire intake path... tired of spending money at the moment.

FSM states to never change gap on used spark plugs. You didn't mention used, but I thought I'd throw that out there.Installed Walbro 225 fuel pump to main tank. Still have sub tank to do. Also gapped my spark plugs (NGK BKR6EKB-11) properly as it was missing under boost. Gaps were huuuuuge, didn't check them before installing. Seems to be a lot better so far.

Loving the cake. What year is your rig? when I leave my lights on there is some sort of power draw safety shuts everything off, mine is an 01 and it came with that. I've left the interior lights on a number of times, next morning everything is off and as soon as I start the truck they come back on.

After breaking replacement key fob shells time and time again (one cracked on the second crank) I came up with a solution that I think might just last a few years. If there's interest I'll offer them up for sale. 3D printed key fob shells:

Cranking the 100 series with a solid key (non-remote) feels sooo good, but not having the remote is lame. Now I'm living the dream, haha.
Those drawers look fantastic! Did you buy a kit or plans for them? If not, do you have a copy of the plans you created?
Your welcome. I happen to have just done a compression check & plug swap. Read that in the FSM while looking for gap. New gap at 1.1mm, used max 1.3mm. FSM for 2001 2UZ-fe "Never attempt to adjust gap of used plug"Good to know, thanks mate.
I didn't know that and yes they were in the engine already so I gapped 'used' plugs essentially. Service time next week so I'll swap them out for brand new ones.
