Yea i didnt even know that .. really didnt look to close at it when i bought it , just drove it around put in in 4x4 and bought it .
but looking at it again , the drivers side still has the 4x4 fender and corner light .
looks like it was wrecked somewhere near the passanger side ..
but really not that bad, at least not that bad to me
other things wrong with it
clusters not working
inside drivers door handles spring not working
something wierd going on with all the lights , might be because someone tried to steal the radio and made a big mess of it .
cracked radio surround
needs alignment..Bad
driverside of seat torn
but this truck hauls butt, never driven a 3.0 with headers and a good exhaust and man what a difefrence..
may just sell it as is , my neighbor wants it .
i want to keep it and tear it up with out worries , but my wifes giving me lip .. so im gonna have to sell it .

Wow that 1UZ is one tight fit. But it fits!! Yea just sell the white Toyota, maybe make a hundred bucks and be done with it. That's a whole lotta fixin that needs to be done to that thing! I would concentrate on enjoying yours instead.

Hey RMA how's that truck running? Man I tell you what after an aggravating day or work there's nothing better then grabbing my truck keys and driving off in the old 1UZ Taco I tell ya.
Is your IACV still acting up? That stepper motor is a pain to wire up. You just have to keep trying your educated guess at the correct way to connect it. It will work perfectly when you find the right combo. I actually had an extra laying around and when I put the 2nd one on my engine it worked MUCH better and fixed all my problems. They do wear out.

shes doing fine , since the last tps adjustment shes fine .
those isc motors ... the 4 ground terminals need to receive ground in a certain order or they will not work. when i was testing them i couldnt get them to open or close at all .. i have 6 isc motors and i couldnt believe none of them worked .. so i had to pull out the manual and was surprised to find this out. after the manual i was able to get them to work all of them .

4.88 equall fast till 65 .. i have 4.56's and i am still at 2700rpms at 75ish miles per hour.. on 33's
but mine is a dd, so it sees speeds over 55 all day long. i drove a v6 5spd with cams and headers, i was suprised but that was compaired to my v6 auto runner..

it will have to be in the dirt man .. she wont burn out on the pavement unless its wet or i put some crisco on the tires .. i have the auto man along with the rear disk brakes . i cant even do one of those step on the brakes and burnout deals ..the rear brakes really good .
