Project Resurrection

I just returned from serving a two year mission, meanwhile the "Toymanator" has been sitting idle. This morning it moved into the garage ready for resurrection! Does anyone know what to do with this stuff?

I thought I would update this thread since it has been over a year. As well I need to document my build to keep me motivated. I spent a lot of time on the runner last spring and got pretty far on the EFI install. Then I went away to school for a few semesters. When I returned home it took me a while to find out exactly where I had left off on the wiring. I then started shopping for some new relays and sensors and decided to scrap the junkyard harness I was using and buy an aftermarket RJM harness with all the new bling.

I hardly think school is an adequate excuse for putting a build on hold. Get your priorities straight

It is depressing to look back and realize that two months later, what I thought would be done the next day has now just been finished.

Sadly the little progress I have made isn't worth posting pictures of. I have completed most (still have 3-5 wires to route) of the wiring.

My list of things to do:

* Wire guages
* Weld in O2 Sensors
* Wire fuel pumps
* Mount Relays on inner fender
* Install air tube, and MAF sensor, purchase and install air filter
* Install a fuel cutoff switch
* Install throttle cable
* Mount BAP sensor on firewall
* Replace kinked heater hoses (see pic)
* Change fluids
-oil
-coolant
-transmission fluid
-brake fluid
-transfer case
-add gas

In theory once all of that is completed it should now be a fuel injected beast and we can start on the fun stuff. :greg:

That looks like 8 spark plug cords, what engine are you running?

A few updates, this was my first bumper build it has been on my 4runner for four years now. I thought it would be time to show you some pictures. The rear is a 2x4, and the sides are a 2x2. After trying to incorporate the stock bumper mounts we ended up just welding it into the frame with a 2x4 and then tying the sides into the frame with another 2x4. I still need to cap the ends, big thanks to Nvrstuck he is the one who basically built the entire thing.

Thanks, it has a lot of potential and I am learning a lot as I go. For example that bumper was built with a 220v stick welder, as I am sure you can tell by the looks of the welds. They aren't pretty but they do the job.

thats all that matters. Im working on building up my tundra its taking awhile but im learning alot and i enjoy it.
