Ok. So.. the motor ran pretty darn good all weekend. However... the driveability went back to square 1. I popped a birfield first thing this morning. I ran thru obstacle course, squeeze rock and the frame twister (which was like speed bumps at the logs) then ran squeeze rock the opposite direction and obstacle course the oppostie direction. When i got there sat nite. Sunday morning.... ran squeeze rock but then my buddy convinced me to flex my truck the opposite way that u would be if u were to just drive out. I got completely sideways from where i wanted to be, got stuck and then popped the short side birf.

its not too bad.... at least you know whats wrong.... better than not knowing at least, lol

birfs arent too bad to replace



(get bobbys)

[8Snaces]

Yea.. bobby longs are next. I was thinkin about runnin cromo's for a bit becuz thats a lot of money to fork out for the longfields. but.... if u break a long, he will send u a new one.

[Wermz84]

I would have love to have gone, thanks for letting me know though.   

Glad to hear the engine ran good for you.

[jimbo74]

if u break a long, he will send u a new one.

i think thats only if you use his hub gears too, but not sure, as i have heard he will replace any now

I got the culprit out today.... WOW! I shattered over half of the outer housing on the birfield and it was scored REALLY BAD! I think that i will be ordering new bearings and seals and puttin it back to together with a new birfield. My buddy gave me a mostly complete axle with both birfs in it. Next weekend i will be puttin the birfs in and gettin it back on the trail....

So, i got the sliders on and started to measure out my cage. Im gonna leave the long bed long and possibly build the cage truggy style. I have torn out some of the wiring but have tons to go. The truck starts pretty good now... i got a 5spd computer from a buddy and swapped it in place of the automatic that the harness came with. Seems to run better but not quite right. I will try to get a few more pics up today.

[Wermz84]

Awsome man.  Glad your back and working on it. We will be at HH again in no time.   


of coure i have to get mine back together 

[8Snaces]

Yep. I forgot about this thread for a lil bit. I will try to b wheelin it this summer.... July will mark 1 yr since i have wheeled. At that was last july in HH when i broke my birf.

Hello!! im back.. ive been working and haning out with my 2yr old, so the truck has sat for a little bit. Im working on designs for a partial flat bed and an exo. Im am pulling all the wiring harness out and goin to undertake making my own stand alone system. I just built the switch panel for the dash and got a book direct from TOYOTA for the 83 Celica factory harness so i can start snipping and splicing and stuff. Look for pics and an update soon.

[8Snaces]

I just got my toyota to my new house in Livermore. Im working on my garage to make it "shop ready".. anyone with a free weekend, hit me up!!

[8Snaces]

i have spoken with FordH8r and he was tellin me that it looks like my fuel pulse dampner is the leaky point under my intake...not a fuel regulator...although they look VERY much alike, the one i need does not have the tube coming out of the top. the piece im lookin for is not inline...its the end of the line. the motor is of course still the 83 celica gt motor...so, does anyone know where i might find out of these things without paying an arm and a leg?

[8Snaces]

I just had a thought.... but im gonna nee a different wiring diagram. Im mounting my comp well out of harms way for water damage, along with the main switch panel. kinda goin race style with half a dozen or so switches...should look pretty sick. but first i gotta get a place to wrench... Garage is getting sheetrocked and new lighting. new outlets and a 220 for a welder someday. Ill post more on this later...

[fordh8r]

Hey Chris, did you ever get your truck started with that module? 

[8Snaces]

Did not.. i dont know of i wired it wrong or if there is a bigger problem. but i did get it moved. very interesting and a big pain in the arse.

[fordh8r]

Sorry to hear it is still not running.    

Hope you get it going soon. 

[8Snaces]

yea.. me too. i think i mightve hooked it up wrong.. rite terminals... wrong wires included. lol. ill figure sumtin out.

[cen-cal crawler]

think you can send me some pics or explain how you wired the new harness(22re) to your  old cluster(from your first gen) i have no idea how to rewire it and im stuck using the third gen cluster that doesnt fit in my 82....any help would be greatly appreaciated.

[8Snaces]

82red. I pulled the entire harness out of the 81 and put the 83 celica harness in. it was a b*tch. still doesnt work quite right .. hope that helps.

[8Snaces]

I have decided that another swap is in order. Im on my way to clear lake area to look at a rolled 85 truck with the 22-RE, computer, harness, etc. So, ..i think thats the next step to gettin a reliable rig. Ive decided that i would rather swap out everything together than keep splicing and snippin. lol.

[8Snaces]

no go on the clear lake truck...some things at home have taken priority... AGAIN! ARGH!! Still plannin on pulling the motor and harness.. but not sure when.. just wanna wheel.. is that too much to ask?!?!?!

[8Snaces]

Does anyone kno the names of other wiring companies besides Painless Wiring? Im goin to Russell's website rite now....painless didnt seem to have anything for toyota. just GM, Jeep n Ford from what i saw.

[8Snaces]

So..ive come into a lil extra money..im working on the truck again..got a lil hiccup..im gettin too mich fuel. Im runnin the 86 efi truck tank wit 83 celica motor. Im told they r the same pump. The regulator is new but doesnt appear to b wkrkin. Any suggestions?

[fordh8r]

Best bet is to check the fuel pressure. That will confirm any fuel pressure problems and should point you in the right direction.

[8Snaces]

I put a pair of vise grips on the inlet side just b4 the regulator n pinched it down bout 1/2way...seemed to b working better now...

[8Snaces]

Can any1 tell me the proper fuel pressure fer an 83 CelixaGT? (22-RE)

[8Snaces]

Thx buddy. Past u the other nite...truck looks good.

[fordh8r]

It's all good! Yeah, I thought that was you.

[8Snaces]

Im goin to HH ina few weeks..i have some winter plans fer my truck but just need to make this one qwik trip.
