Wyoming B.S. Thread

Nice, I've been combing the webs for wiring diagrams. There seems to be just enough info, but not a whole lot. I haven't even really started yet and I think DT's is justified in their pricing lol.

 

Got the motor mounts in, so much better in every way. Less vibes now believe it or not and it let me line up the tranny mount better. Shits together now

 

don't give up now! Haha

I bet it is smoother considering you have jello mounts up front and poly out back.

 

Oh I'm not, I'm just saying I get where they are coming from

 

yeah intergrating the wiring well in a motor swap is by far the worst part. why if i did a 2jzgte id totally pay the 1200 bucks it is to have the 2jz and tacoma harness spliced together.

 

Hey marc, idk if your dad has chosen but this should be nice if he goes for the RS: https://jalopnik.com/ford-finally-issued-a-fix-for-the-failing-focus-rs-head-1822313028

 

The Tacoma harness is hardly worth saving, especially if you have manual everything. Aftermarket ECU and aftermarket gauges would be less wiring and more convenient.

 

@SconnieHailer

 

eh. I know you can get it made so it plugs in and all the tacoma stuff works as normal. OBDII port and all. For a clean install, what Id do. I don't need aftermarket gauges and is cooler more OEM looking

 

I'd just do what @Tyler Lacasse is doing then and use mostly Lexus parts. Not really a huge amount in a Tacoma harness to splice into, at least not mine haha. I suppose Frank has power stuff maybe it's worth it. But I'd just splice it myself if I wanted to keep any of the OEM junk. Aftermarket ECUs from Haltech support OBDII and simulating OEM gauge signals now.

 

Yeah for me I want to get better at understanding the electrical side so the only way I know how is to just jump in and do it. I find it stays with me better than if I just read about it or someone tried to explain it

 

same for me. Doing is the best way to learn.

Trial by fire...pretty much my whole audio career is that hahaha

 

Started my list of projects today..... Removed hangers and started pulling spare tire cross section... Ill be boxing frame from bump stop to Ass end and build a brace with square tubing to reinforce...
Debating to plate section of frame near front leaf hanger where it is seperating.

 

need to do something back there. Wow. Id box it for sure.

 

The section of I have frame plates for isn't that bad but has a little wave in couple spots.

 

Of the workspace

 

haha should have spend an hour or two with a lawn sprinker under the truck and then gone to the power wash bay before your started haha

 

x2.

Soon as i get my own place. Getting a lift like that. Super affordable.

 

Going to bolt hangers and new leaf packs on, drive outside and powerwash before i start welding.

 

Anyone want a fully functional spate tire crank assembly?
