Congrats bud!!!!

 

Thats a nice rig. Hopin to do my soon when i get home.

 

updates guys, got 4wd fenders so they dont rub anymore, now just gotta wait for it to warm up to paint all the new body panels. put new rancho shocks on, put the bumper on, [ut some shifters from a 89 on it, got a tailgate handle, and got some decals. also put in some floor mats that my dad had in his 79. everyone join this facebook group! http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/162615877170176/ oh and if anyone has a starter they have layin around please let me know, my starter went out and dont have any money to get a new one or get this one rebuilt.

 

truck looks good, will be following

 

thanks twisted, just added you to toyotaholics

 

sorry guys, been slackin, been really busy and havent really gotten a chance to work on the yota, hopefully be puttin a days worth of work tomorrow, got a bunch of stuff to install. also figured out my starter aint bad my battery went bad

 

S'all good, man! ................BUT HURRY UP! hahhahaa. JK,.... but share/pics/stat, ya heah?

 

yea once i do some work pics will def be up!

 

Niceeee I'll be back tomorrow! hahahaha. Jk, .... have fun with her, man... You worked hard on it and should be proud!

 

im definetally proud of this truck! it needs to warm up so i can paint the new panels and have a matching truck again lol

 

Slow and steady will get it. I hear you on the weather, that holds alot of it up. Hang in there.

 

ok guys im stumped. went out to my pickup and my battery was completely dead but there was a steady clicking coming from under thee dash. only would happen when key was turned off, i have no clue what would cause this, the battery was completely dead when it was doing this. anyone have any ideas?

 

Completely dead, yet clicking? Maybe you mean "too dead to 'turn over' "??? At under 11.25 V I think these wont start.(guys?)..... But, that's PLENTY to cause a TICK in lots of things that just need a complete circuit and whatever volts they demand, ya know? Sounds like a short, obviously(SOUNDS, s'all I said, lol).... And I would think that something involved in the series of 'relay', etc., between the key and STARTING has to be the problem, right? Maybe the COR is corroded out?(I doubt it, as that has to be in 'STA' position to pull voltage, right?) Maybe the Ignition System/switch is history? Was the clicking 'sporadic' or 'on time'?

Maybe go through the obvious culprits with a spare battery hooked up and see if you have any 'high' readings where you should have .001 or NA on the multi-meter????? Could even be one of your 'power' wires grounding out on something?

 

no i wasnt even turning the key, the key wasnt even in the ignition and it was clicking, it sounds like the blinkers but the blinkers werent on and the battery was too dead to have any lights come on.

 

Ok, let's think...............(I know, it's painful for me, but I'll try! hahaha)........

What is in there, next to the blinker assembly/arms, wiper assembly/arms, within the column?????? 2 Things, one less likely........

1. Hazards(maybe hit the button on accident and left it on??? Yet, it wont blink, just actuating in the relay/switch/whatever it is? lol)

2. Ignition Switch

I'm gonna hope and pray for #1, as that's a bit easier fix, eh? lol. I'll try to think some more, later, and I'll help you dig deeper... But that really HURT, so let me rest my nugget for a min! lol. JK, actually, let's check that first, then report back if your hazard button was depressed, k?

 

key wasnt in igniton, only would happen when switch was on off positoin not when i turn it to accesory or on, and when i threw another battery in it it cranked over

 

What about the "HAZARD" prospect? Not being rude, 86, nor condescending, promise... I've missed MUCH more silly things, ya know?

Far as the rest, yeah, I get that, but it's still, granting it's not the Hazard or something simple like that, ... still has a drain issue/possible short, right?

Why not leave that battery on and start testing at the ECU and other circuits, looking for what's pulling without the key in? I'd start with the IGN, NO DOUBT! (key doesn't have to be in to have a short, ya know? It's still wired, all day long, within the system to power, "switched power" or not.).... But test ALL "Switched" possibilities, k?(things that only receive voltage once the ignition is in AT LEAST "ACC" position.

 

yea ill do some testing later, truck is a ways from teh garage so i took the batttery out and am now charging it, when the battery is charged ill go back out and work on it

 

Then again, .....could have just been a bad celled battery that was causing a 'click' in the column or dash somewhere due to too low of voltage. I've had MANY appliances/auto stuff's, etc., that have made weird 'clicks' or 'wheeeeeeeeeen' sounds when the power was dangerously low, ya know? Leave that battery in and test it every hour, careful not to let it drain too low, and in the interim, begin testing all those pertinent components/relays/switches, etc., yah?

 

i will chef, its just weird didnt touch the truck for a week and go walk over to it and its clicking
