oregon 3rd gen build ****FOR SALE****

[THK Matt]

V8's id go 302. otherwise toyota

just whatever ya do keep it TOYOTA man.....

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

v8's are just a waste in a toyota.... what would you ever use the power for??? not to mention they are gas guzzelers and just a pregnant dog to keep running right especially with a carb motor... my opinion is v8's are good for nothing.... a 3.4l 5vz-fe is the way to go if your lookin for power and they run forever and ya never have to tinker with them like a v8.... have you ever owned a rig with a v8?

[THK Matt]

my cousin has a 93 Yukon with a 350.
it is a pain thats for sure.

my brother has an 89 F150 with a 302 HO
simple.


like i said if i did go V8, 302.

but id rather stay economic.

[toyotanner]

i like 4 cylinders

[GJToyotabug]

yeah my other 22re that I'm building should get about 300hp

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

i like 4 cylinders

me too man but more than anything I like toyota motors.... if I steer away from my 4cyl I would go with the 5VZ-FE for sure...

yeah my other 22re that I'm building should get about 300hp

thats a lot of power for a good ole 22RE man that thing will be bad 

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

now we will get on to some updates on my junk finally 
(this is actually an update from a couple days ago that my lazy  didnt get around to posting)

got the tranny bolted up to the motor finally...

h


then bolted up the t-cases and MC07-R10





the shifters lined up pretty well....

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

then got the cab moved back to her home on the body mounts....

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

now the fun part of getting the floor chopped out and stuffing the tranny and t-cases up above the frame rails for my flat belly... I didnt waste a whole lot of time cutting this all nicely since I am building a whole new tunnel anyways....






all nice and flat now...


I will start working on the cross-member after work this evening and hopefully have that on and done on Sunday.... I have to work tomorrow so looks like I wont have much time for it tomorrow which really sux....

[fatt_matt]

AWESOME.. that's pretty mean looking already

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

AWESOME.. that's pretty mean looking already

thanks man... I just have a rats nest of wiring to get dealt with now....

[THK Matt]

well get on it!

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

ya ya.... I am still trying to get this f-ing wiring figured out... I have all the 2rz stuff figured out just need to get the 89 harness figured out now then im on the home stretch...

[THK Matt]

oh awesome.... so you basically have to figure what is needed and isnt on the 89 harness.... well buddy... your almost there!

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

ya I am trying to work my way through the 89 harness.. I have had no luck finding a schematic for any of it except a pin-out for the back of the gauge cluster so if nothing else I will bust out the trusty voltmeter and start running continuity checks between the gauges and the plugs for the ecu so then I can get the gauges up and running.... thats about all I have left to get figured out and I can start soldering wired together... I snapped a few pics of what I am up against you can see how the previous owner has cut the stock harness where it goes to the under-hood fuse and relay boxes so this leaves me to figure out whats what here as well so this is gonna be a real pain in my 

[iNfErNaL]

Looking bad ass bro!!!.Can't wait to see it 

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

Looking bad ass bro!!!.Can't wait to see it 

thanks man  i cant wait to hear it run and see it move....im postin some pics in a few

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

here is what I have to work with on the 89 harness after some jackass chopped all kinds of things off...
this is on the passenger side of the truck in the engine bay

this is on the driver side engine bay


then a few random pics of what I have been doing the last couple nights getting things figured out and labeled so I can start hooking up finally and hear this thing run finally...


this is the tacoma engine bay fuse/relay box that I need to figure out how to wire in to the 89 harness...

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

now that the tranny and t-cases are pushed up flat belly I am kind of wishing I would have raised the motor mounts some more.... I am still trying to decide if I want to lift it by modifying the engine side motor mount... I do not wanna cut the mounts back off the frame cause its a pain in my  the motor is a little more tilted forward than I wanted it but we will see...

[THK Matt]

motor mount spacers?

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

thought about that but it is really pretty easy to just modify these and I dont like the spacers a whole lot

[THK Matt]

well get on it!

[iNfErNaL]

Nice!!!!! 

[TheCookieMonster]

hurry up and work on this pile

[toyotanner]

you have way to much patience w/ wiring i wouldnt be able to do that

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

you have way to much patience w/ wiring i wouldnt be able to do that

ya thats what I do for a living but in a much larger scale of what I am doing on this swap (class A motorhome tech).... so this is all pretty easy but very time consuming as well...

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

ok so I have been slackin (and fishing) the last couple days so I havent got a whole lot done to the truck.... I did start getting the wiring harness assembled on the engine side of things... the only thing I am still waiting on is figure out where I tap into my gauge wires on the 3rd gen side of the harness other than that I think I have most of it figured out and I should be able to get it done this weekend sometime hopefully... I am gonna get all the final welding taken care of on the truck tonight and get the frame cleaned up and painted so thats out of the way.... I need to get my tubing bender ordered so I can get the exo built and have somewhere to mount the radiator and all other under-hood components..... so thats next....

[4runnin_87]

just read through... this is turning out nice!!! cant wait to see it done..
