Brians F/R Locked Long Travel Camping and Overland Build

Wow Thank you for all the detailed information. I am running stock intake box with snorkel. The snorkel actually is not hooked up yet. Thats what i was going to do when i encountered this. I tested the MAF sensor last night and there is a strong possibility that could be the culprit. It was not making any readings when i had it hooked up to a multi meter. I checked all the hoses and vacuum tubes. Everything seems solid. Im probably going to take it in to a local mechanic and let them look it over. It needs a 100k service anyways. Its probably nothing major as im not getting anymore codes just takes a minute to crank and you have to give it gas sometimes. Ive read that alot of the time its a bad MAF sensor which would make more sense. Just not sure as to why it failed when i unplugged it.

 

Interesting, yeah if it all started when you unplugged the maf, id clean both of those connectors really well. Might be a simple fix, the randomness of the codes seems like its something electrically related to me. Keep us posted on what they say buddy

 

Update

Took it to the mechanic yesterday. They said they cant quite pin point the issue. They said they will keep looking today so interested to see what they have to say.

 

So now they still cant pin point the issue and said that i should take it to Toyota. So im taking to stealership this afternoon.

 

Toyota called me back. They said that the MAF sensor needs to be replaced (which i basically already knew that) Spark plugs need to be changed and the throttle body was pretty dirty and needed to be cleaned. They also said my K&N air filter spray probably caused the sensor to go bad but im not sure about that. But they are replacing and fixing everything today.

 

Noice! Hope it runs like a champ when you get her back!

 

Yea just sucks cause they have to use some special machine to clean out my fuel system. It’s gonna be some $$$

 

Stealership is never cheap unfortunately

 

They charged me 600 bucks to change 3 ujoints one time. Havent been back since, started doing everything myself

 

I do everything myself usually too but I just want this thing fixed and they said they will have it done today so I’m just gonna nite the bullet lol

 

I completely understand that, sometimes its better to leave things to them. Seemed like an electrical issue so id have done the same, thats outta my realm of abilities

 

Same lol. I dont like touching the engine too...

 

Switched my s2 lenses to amber and wide cornering!

 

Local AL guy who built my sliders is building me Front hybrid and rear HC bumper. Truck will be with him for the next 3 weeks but cant wait to share pic with you guys once its done!

 

New Digs getting there

 

Update on the bumper build! Not quite done on the front yet. Lights are going to be moved to style in other pic. Also going to have cutouts for which and center hoop supports and shackle mounts added.

 

Final pic. Before final product. Hoop supports cutouts for winch and shackle mounts will be added as well as welds around seams.

 

Your bumper looks sic Brian, can't wait to see it all put together! Most of all, can't wait to hit the trails again!

You seen or heard from @JKU3000?
