I do however need to take my seats out now and pull my gauge cluster out to adjust the tach.. ill take a pic as it is right if you would like but its all stock minus the double din head unit and husky liner floor mats lol

Ok here is a small update:

Had a custom power steering line made out of braided stainless


Now with the rad support i used 2 left over chunks of 3/8 plate, 2 rubber blocks that fit in the bottom of the rad then dremeled a square into the bottom side of the rubber then took some 1x1 aquare tubing and fitted it in..



Thanks to RMA i picked up the belt i needed (no more A/C)



More to come!

stock as possible

I was talking about the lexus gauge cluster, did you ever put that in the truck?

This build isnt' something i need to be following. I just got my hand on a 93 4wd and my wife walked in while i was reading through this and she's was like "don't even think about it" I swear reading the thread is gonna be like watching porn. gotta lock the office door so i don't get caught.

^^ thanks Kuntryboy i appreciate the comments

Well everyone i took the truck out of the garage for the first time yesterday in 6 months, it felt pretty good.

took it for a small drive and it is a bit louder than i would of liked but it sounds awesome lol its 3 inch from the manifolds to my y-pipe then straight to a Flowmaster Delta 50 stainless muffler. tranny shifted fine, power steering was alot easier than before, temps all stayed normal without the fan on,

Now for the bad:
Check engine light is on and the truck seems to have a small sputter/or misfire when i gas it so im going to change the fuel filter and maybe get a walbro 255 pump, im thinking maybe its running lean. i am running the O2 sensors that came with my Tundra manifolds so im going to try and put the Lexus ones back in.
Im going to read the code tonight when i get home from work and see what it says.
My y-pipe seems to have shifted during welding and the passenger side v-band is leaking, im going to try to unbolt everything and shift the y-pipe a tad and see if that helps...

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions i would be happy to hear them..

SOOOO SICKKKKKKKK!!! and you have a bad azz beamer

yotafella81

holy , sorry for the language but it's appr. for this truck. I bet your neighbors love you. So if you happen to have a couple of heads for a 3VZ-E that would be great. Just got mine off and the combustion rings are Egg shaped. gotta love it when some idiot put 180+ lbs torque on a 38lbs bolt. just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside thinking about it. It was a toyota certified tech that did the top end rebuild too. I just can't get my mind around why they would do something like that. anyway. let me know if you have the heads left. and what you might want for them

looks like your skills are pretty well rounded.. clean setup, would like some info on how the wiring went? after seeing all these 5speed 1uz swaps its making me want to go that way with mine hmmm?

Yota 3.0

Thanks man

I would like to sell the engine as a complete (engine, harness, ecu etc)

the only wiring i had to do was the alternator becuase it is on the oposite side as the V6.. all the wiring credit goes to Phoenixtuning and i couldnt be happier with their work. only thing i would of liked was to get some new injector plugs but i didnt request for them to be replaced so its my own fault..

Cheers,
James

I hate to piss on your parade but your frame needs some work especially between the gas tank and the frame. Take a chipping hammer to it to check for weak spots. Nice job on the truck though, I love the color and I absolutely LOVE the slot wheels!!
