    Probably should’ve started this thread when I bought the truck. Now it’s just me racking my brain in one sitting trying to remember everything I’ve done in the last two years. Probably left some stuff out or forgot things.

    This is more or less where I’m at. Truck is currently at transmission shop but I’ve got a respectable parts pile I’ve been collecting for 6 months that will be installed when I get the truck back next week so I figured I’d start a thread in case anyone wanted to follow the progress from here on out.

    Just pulled the trigger on a new ECU.
    Hoping it’s my saving grace so I can start the build again.

    Oooohhhhh that’s one sexy build. I just got a 99 PreRunner and I’m doing all mechanical work before I start making it look like a monster.

    Just replaced Lower ball joints, brakes and rotors, tires, fluids and seatbelts. Alls I gotta do is the rack n pinion and some body work so that I can fab a new bumper and sliders.

    Mine came in but I haven’t messed with it yet.
    Workin on getting some perimeters from this trans guy. I wanna compare the numbers after the valve body installation to the ones before and see if the new VB made any difference at all. I’m assuming it didn’t but I’m makin this guy work to help me find a solution. :frusty:
