SOLVED! Post 2853 Leaking Injectors, Dealer Techs Rock! Extended Cranking after Engine Swap 3.4L 5vz

http://wildowyhee.org/getting-there

I really wanna get a camper like the one in this photo for the Taco. Doesn't the top of those things pop up so you can sleep up there? Wonder how much they cost. Any ideas of best places to look for something like that? That thing would be perfect for a trip like this, nothing to worry about towing behind on those bad roads, and nothing too wide to drive (like an RV or whatever).

This is another side trip we've been wanting to do in that general area, but it's the same dilemma as Chalk Basin. You'd have to spend at least one night there (no decent lodging within a reasonable drive time, it's a teeny ghost town nestled way up in the southwestern ID wilderness). But it's an old gold mining town (Silver City, ID) and they still have this super old hotel there with no electricity, check it out:

Thank you so much for the update!! No problem at all, we are doing just fine, take all the time you guys need. We are just thrilled to know we found you guys and can rest easy that the Taco is in good hands!! Seriously, please take your time, no rush at all. And thanks again for the update!! Please pass this along to noahpete also! Thanks Jason!!

 

Appraisal tonight at 5:30. Please, everyone on TW, cross your fingers and toes for us that it goes the way we want it to!! Could be very helpful for us after all the "Taco special needs" funding the last 6 months!! I've been telling the neighbors about it coming up, and my favorite smart ass neighbor told me he'd be sure to put an old chair and some garbage of some kind in his front yard today, to make it look extra special

And now, I will begin cleaning like a crazy missing electrode lady



PS: Where the heck has @keakar been lately? I need to know if he's down with manning the moonshine tent, STAT!

EDIT: Here's a pic of the Succor Creek area, an example of a place you could set up camp. But they have some slightly developed sites closer to the creek too, with tables and stuff.



Can't you guys picture a giant circle of Toyotas around that fire pit, and a giant beer/whiskey tent with a drunk Koditten serving it up? Sounds like a good time to me : )

 

Or you can camp here at Leslie Gulch, with the bighorns, right next to the Owyhee River. It's so pretty down there.

 

Lousy shot of the BedRug.

 

Nice! I googled this yesterday after reading your post, they look pretty cool! Going to show Eric tonight....thanks DP! You all packed for the Toyota Tour yet? : )

I fail at posting images

 

Jen, put a rack on your topper and mount a roof top tent up there. Then you have plenty of room in the truck for all your gear. I think Bobby at CVT (Cascadia Vehicle Tents) is in Bend and you would save quite a bit on shipping if you can pick it up. I got in on the group buy a couple of years ago, it's a perfect setup.

 

Thanks TenBeers! We will definitely look into this!!

 

This is the one I have on my wish list. Has a platform that folds out, a access ladder,,and is 6'4" usable.

Good grief, appraiser will be here any minute. Kinda freaking out. Lots riding on this. House has never sparkled so beautifully. We'll see how long that lasts......

 

huh, whaaat??? what did I miss? you selling the house to pay your taco bills?

better not move to new Orleans, people down here don't like to drink to much

but they do it anyway

 

Refi Keakar, refi!! Lower interest rate = big savings.

Guy just left, said we should be fine to accomplish what we are hoping to. HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crossing that stress off the list, yee haw!!

Margarita time!!

EDIT: @keakar , I probably would sell my house for the Taco though if I had to

So are you in for the Toyota Tour? You going to man the moonshine tent?

 

Brand new Toyota fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, intake plenum and throttle body gaskets:



Fuel injectors installed:



Fuel pressure regulator installed:



Fuel filter installed:



Let the truck idle for a bit to check for fuel leaks and the long fuel trim corrected to near 0 - wow that's a good sign



Ready to be picked up any time, finished after work today

 

So jelly! 17 yr old truck looks like a 4 yr old Michigan truck! We need to move out that way just to escape the evil salt that this state is In love with.

 

Wow. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will see you tomorrow!!! Did not expect you to be done so quickly, thank you!!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping to get there around 9 tomorrow, will post in the AM to say for sure when. Thank you so much, you guys are the best!!!!!!!! We are so grateful!!

 

Late night baking party over here!! Lots of Waylon and whiskey to go with it! Might be a little later than 9am.......

EDIT: mmmmm, our kitchen smells soooooooooooooo good right now. Time for bed, more baking in the AM : )

 

At long last it looks like your good to go.

My the under side of your truck looks new !!

I really don`t see the appeal of camping but then I have always lived in the country .

Growing up with no indoor plumbing and no hot water but for what was heated on the wood stove in the kitchen.

I really love hot water and showers .

My first flush toilet at school was quite interesting but scary as well.
