You’ll be glad to know the same gasket lasted to the 23 model year haha

 

[badlinesgoodtimes]

moved dip stick capped old port
Changed fuel filter.
Installed motor mounts
Installed Alt and AC Compressor and Belt tensioners
installed oil sump/ pan

installed Fly wheel/ Clutch/ Pilot bearing and throw out bearing.

snapped a bolt in the process... fucking Toyotally Awesome ammo can bails me out again.





Got the motor in with some wrestling... and some chirps from my wife "I feel like this should go together easier?" (that's what she said)

Managed to smash the fuck out of my finger moving the hoist over to pick up the 3RZ... so that was cool
RIP my Finger nail I'm sure.

Good Times.

Now the hard part hooking it up and make it run!

I think we all wonder why they don't go together easier

More progress this weekend.

Picked up a starter
Motor Trans bolted up
Motor mounts in with the help of the little man
Power Steering lines in and hooked up
Swapped stock harness 2wd A/T out for M/t 4wd harness ECU... Honestly not even sure i needed to do this but wanted to make sure it matched the conversion harness for the ECU info I gave to Offroad solutions.
Ran all the harness into the cab
Ran all the ORS wiring harness out of the cab. and began install probably about 40 % there as far as hooking up and splicing everything where it needs to go
Worked on cleaning all the bullshit wiring on this thing some from when i bought it and some from shit I have added over the few years I have owned the truck..
Looking way better still long way to go.

Also picked up my driveshafts had one prepped front was okay
Rear was completely fucked ( still a good trail spare) ordered a fresh from Tom Woods
