What rims are you using?

Im not sure the brand, I got them used, they are just some 17" steelies, look a lot like pro-comp wheels to me.

Could not get my cold start injector to work.  Replaced the injector, replaced the injector timer, retraced all the wiring.  No cold start.  Marlin was scratching his head, couldnt figure it out.  Then after looking at the wiring schematic for the umpteenth time, he realized we needed to check the water temp sensor for the computer (different than the water temp sensor for the gauge) and viola messed up connection in that plug.  Which means the computer didnt know the engine temp, so it wasnt sending the signal to the cold start injector.  Headache solved.

Well there is a local street fair where our local 4wheel drive club has a booth coming up this weekend.  They want my 4runner there,  Fingers crossed Ill get it done to be there.  Then next weekend is trail closings, which im supossed to be leading through swamp lake, and then panamint valley days the following weekend which im registered for... So its crunch time.  Lots of events the TRunner is supossed to be at and it is so close to being done.  Just trying to wrap it up. 

[T-Revv [OP]]

Got it mostly done.  Enough to make it Clovisfest and be a little show piece for our local 4wheel drive club this weekend. 

[T-Revv [OP]]

Got my sliders put on this last weekend.  I was a little particular about how I wanted them to come out so it took longer than I expected on a Friday night.  But they came out good, and was ready for the trail the next day.

Went in with another member of the Four Wheel Drive Club of Fresno and closed down the Swamp Lake Trail for the season.  Good first wheeling for the TRunner.  Had a good trip, I was very happy with the way it wheeled. and was super pumped about finally getting to wheel this rig.  It has been long awaited. 

[T-Revv [OP]]

Getting ready for Panamint Valley Days this weekend. So the shakedown run on swamp was good since now Ill be 6 hours from home and in the middle of the desert with this

[EASYRYDERDANGER]

I put my sliders on almost identical to that. I like mine out a little bit farther it saved me more than once.

What happened to this thread...

Havent had much to update on. Just wheeling it around lower elevation places, waiting for snow to melt, so I can get back to some of the good trails.  It will be at the Head 4 The Hills Poker Run, put on by the 4wheel Drive Club of Fresno on May 17-18th.

Thank you.  Yes I will.

[T-Revv [OP]]

Hey guys.  So did a little work to the T-Runner right before the round up.  Have been having an issue with the power steering pump, so we ditched that and put a PSC high flow pump on there. That was a great difference.  Unfortunately I'm really bad at taking pictures, so the only picture of that I have is when we were in the process of mounting the new resivoir and the factory pump is still there. (will try to get a finished product pic for you later.)  When I went to order the kit from PSC found out that Trail Gear undercut PSC on their own bracket for this application so much that PSC stopped making it so I had to buy the bracket from TG.  Good Ol' TG the hardware they send with their kit didn't fit, so had to figure out my own hardware.     

[T-Revv [OP]]

Also Trimmed my fenders.

[T-Revv [OP]]

Then it was rubicon ready.  Again, not good at taking pictures, especially of my own rig.  I just dont get out and take pictures, while on the trail.  But here is what I got.

[T-Revv [OP]]

I did get some decent pics of Rapier46 and BigMike

Video of me going up Soup Bowl with Nathan from the Gear Shop spotting me.  Took awhile and made a couple of mistakes, but got up.

i like how that front bumper ties into the sides, i may have to look at doing something like that when i build mine

Theyre not connected.  Though I have thought about that, running something around the fender to connect the bumper to the slider, and than around the rear fender to tie it into the rear bumper too.  but not sure yet.

Hey TRevv! You been doing any wheel'n up in the The Last Frontier or what??

[T-Revv [OP]]

Twice so far. It’s different up here. It’s not rock crawling, it’s washed out over grown fire roads and river crossings. I would have done more, but I’ve been having issues with the TRunner lately and I can’t seem to figure it out. Ever since I put it on its side on my last Rubicon trip, it’s had a bad extended crank problem. I replaced the airbox thinking oil probably got on the sensor, didn’t fix it, checked al the plugs, idk. My next thought is a stuck injector or the check valve in the fuel pump not holding pressure in the line.

[LittleSteve]

Does it run ok when its running?

[Gnarly4X]

I would do a compression check. 

Gnarls.

[T-Revv [OP]]

Gnarls.

Jeez I hope not, that’s a brand new motor.

[LittleSteve]

Again. When it starts does it run ok?
