I just wired my fan last weekend for my 1UZ Tacoma. I ran some larger than necessary wire from the relay and configured the relay for negative trigger actuation. This way I just have a simple switch in the cab that is connected to ground and it just allows the relay to ground out to trigger the...

$$ well spent! It's just one of those safety items you must have.

Any updates on the drifting action?

OH MAN THE 1UZ IS A BEAST! Sorry spf and others just been busy workin on all sorts of stuff and the last couple weeks have been actually using my truck for things I intended to use it for. :D I got all sorts of little things taken care of and I had to swap in another transfer case because a roll...

Hmmmm es300 coils in full sequential and infinity q45 ignitors... >:-) I run my Adaptronic really rich and it pops (not a full backfire just a funny pop) everynow and then. I bet this setup would fix that.

Whatever happened to this project? I was looking forward to this one. :) I miss those cars.

See? This stuff's easy. You're almost up and running. :D

Awesome to hear of your success! Now every Jeep owner in the world wants the same setup in their ride. :D Take some pictures for us when you have some time.

I prefer to stay away from those. :) They have all those computers consolidated into a module the size of a cell phone nowadays. All the more reason to stay away from cars like that. I'm convinced that's why all the cars from the 80's are mostly gone and thrown away by now. Seems they were...

Oh man don't we all know it! People have no patience and don't even realize how much time and effort it takes to do such work. The more I learn this over and over the more I turn people away and tell them to come back when they are ready to move forward on my terms. I ALWAYS get my job finished...

One of my neighbors sold their cherry condition SC400 overnight by using Craigslist. A dude came up from LA within 2 days to pick it up with cash. They were scared of the same thing... too many old electronics in those cars. If you own one you better be good at troubleshooting if you want...

Also check the fuel pump resistor for proper operation. Google: "fuel pump resistor lexus". There are specs on ohm readings you should be getting. Check the EFI relay or maybe swap for your parts car one. You could also bypass that manually and check it that way. I'm assuming your 95 uses the...

+1 Power Probe. I bought the whole kit and I love it! It's pretty amazing. Go on their website and watch the videos on how to use it and you will see. Think of all the money it's saving you if you can put it to good use. I would just unplug everything fuel related and then plug things back in...

Pictures Pictures Pictures!! :D

I tell people over and over to buy the whole car for the parts. There are so many parts you need and people always sell the accessories from them quickly as they bring in easy money. Go buy a warrantied power steering pump and alternator from a parts place like Carquest. They give you a lifetime...

Wow those harness shots make me want to go redo mine the right way! :D Great work on your new toy. I wouldn't expect anything less.

Mr. Earthman! Yeap I've played around in the dirt some. It's just an extremely fast truck. The engine is a blast to rev around all the time. I air down all the way with the beadlocks on and the truck will still break traction at any time offroad. It's just what I had always wanted! I have a set...

I hear that SPF. I would have had a super race truck by now if the economy was rolling along like it was before. :) The plans just take longer now is all. And Dunkin it's good to see you get your project rollin. Glad some of the details here could help make that one of the best 4Runners out...

Oh man that's a headache. I hope that's the end of that ordeal. I went through some of the same hassle with my swap. I found an incredible old school agriculture hose and supply shop that made my custom high pressure power steering fitting and adapted a standard high pressure hose so that in the...

Hehe that's for sure. I can't wait to get started on the next phase. I just need a million dollars it feels like. :) How many years have I been building this truck? Never count how much time and money you have thrown at your projects.
