Where did you go with your Mini Truck or 4Runner this week? (2 Viewers)

[Gimme a 60]

My mini truck somehow ended up in Moab.

Been a few busy last weeks with getting my 84 pickup back on the road.
Finished rebuilding my 22R and installed it. Thankfully I had a spare motor that needed rebuilding since the one I pulled out was in real poor shape after I overheated it on the highway when the block heater failed and dumped all my coolant out. Gave the head a resurface as per the guidance of the machine shop.

After that it was time to diagnose why my e-locker wasn't working. Took the actuator all apart and didn't find a reason why it failed. Bench tested it with direct power to the leads, motor made some noise but no movement. Found an Aisin SAT-008 replacement on Amazon shipped to my door for $470 CAD, tossed it in and voila got a rear locker again! Ready for a spring wheeling trip in the Rockies next weekend.

This is just wrong to let the trucks die this way.

@ToyotaMatt have a link to that or any other engines? The detail in those cut aways is awesome. So jealous of the AC ..

Dropped the new engine in over the weekend, slowly picking away at reassembling it all now.
