that is some great progress..

 

How did I miss this! A bother Trekker!

Im glued to this thread!

Looks like a great truck to start with.

You have better floors that me! I have rust with a bit of floor...you have floors with a bit of rust...lol.

Dont hack it up!! She's a rare beast. Lots and lots of pictures please. We need all the trekker pics we can get.

Thanks.

 

Lol that sucks about the floors. Yea mine were worse then they looked. I will post pics of this weekends progress. And no way would I hack this gem up I love it too much lol

 

Well sorry about not getting pics but here is the report, I got the tires on and some of the legal stuff done I was at a friends house and went to leave and realized that I did not have tail lights or brake lights. Also no reverse light. What I do have is turn signals and so I started to test and look for problems. Have power at the fuse box so I looked at the brake switch(I think that's what it's called) unplugged it and had power going to it. So I checked bulbs and pulled the light buckets out and could not find any bad wires but I checked for power and did not have any except for the turn signals. I followed all the wires from tail lights to where it goes through the fiberglass bed and in to the cab. I am lost at what to do. This is the only thing that is keeping me from driving this thing. Any suggestions or idea to you Toyota gurus would be very helpful.

 

A trailer wiring harness can cause strange problems. Or, a bad ground at the lights since you seem to have power coming out of the fuse for those lights. Or, a bad wire from fuse back to the lights. Or, a switch issue. Tossing things out....

 

Thanks for the ideas. I just checked the back of the fuse panel and it all good. I am thinking ground a at the lights somewhere. Well hopefully next weekend I can get time to look more but for now off to work for the week.

 

Well after all day of chasing wires I finally got it sorted out. But one step forward and two back. So I went to take it up the road and now I have a not so good noise. Not sure if it's tranny or engine. When I press the clutch in and rev it the noise is not there but under load I hear it. It was a bit too late to trouble shoot. Another thing I noticed was a pretty big oil spot under it today. I was starting and shutting it off all day though so idk what the problem is yet. So gotta get that fixed before I can drive it. Another set back but getting close to being a daily driver. Well anyway that's the update so far. When I get some time I will upload some recent pics.

 

Well got the noise figured out. Kind of stupid but not a big deal. So now just gotta finish up a few odds and ins pics will be on there way this week sometime. As it sits now lift is on it new 33s new floor pans and a newer w56 tranny. Also put some indoor outdoor carpet in it and cleaned up the interior a bit. Next is a front axel rebuild and gears and a rear locker.

 

We gonna have to send you a camera?

Progress....sounds good. Trekker pics are gold.

 

Hope this pic shows up. Went down by the river this weekend in the trekker. I am very happy with it so far. I need to regear it when I save up the cash.

 

Pic was great....nice to see it rollin around.

 

I'm pretty sure I own this trekker now, I got it about 3 months ago. Not sure how to add a photo into this message
