Awesome feedback guys! Pretty much stuck on a blue. It’s my favorite color and I had a Fiji Blue Pearl 2008 Civic Si years back. Loved that color. Forgot to mention that I will be doing all the body work and paint myself. I work at a body shop and Toyota is right across the street so I see the Cavalry Blue everyday. Haven’t gotten sick of it yet, lol. As much as I do also like the new Voodoo Blue, I believe it has metallic in it (now I’m going to have to double check at work) and that drives the price of paint up. So Cavalry Blue is a solid color.

So I’m looking to repaint my truck around the end of September. After a quick road trip in July it’s going to be parked to I can do some body work and clean up everything to have it ready. I’m loving the Toyota Cavalry Blue that is on their TRD Pro vehicles (some non-TRD Tacomas) and want to go that route. How blasphemes is this? Lol *I love my truck and although the silver has grown on me, it’s not what I like*

I’ll echo the suggestions to clean the throttle body. I had the same problem a few years ago, and I think the only thing I did in regards was cleaning it. Haven’t had that problem since.

Sounds like exactly my issue. The electronic throttle bodies are weird since the idle air control valve is built in and not a separate unit. Now that I think about it, there was a time when it had improved a bit which was after I had changed the spark plugs and also did a half assed throttle body cleaning at the same time. I think I’m going to try a legit throttle body cleaning tonight and see what happens.

Their solution appeared to be cleaning the TB. I wish I had a cable controlled throttle [emoji24]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some updates on overhaul... transmission is out. Here is the new old stock tranny.

Its your truck, who cares. I used Mopar 'Panther Pink' and generic appliance white on WhiteOwl (and used White Out as touch up). Heck, I painted my S10 with house paint...

Another cool color (IMO), is the bright red that came on the R50/3rd gen Pathifnder/4runner. I love the new tundra voodoo blue, but as far as what blue pathy’s look like, you have @Enjoi408 As an example. Also Rick13 was another well built blue pathy. I’m personally not a fan of any of the blues for R50’s but I’m more than willing to see it done and be proven wrong, as blue is otherwise one of my favorite colors. A yellow pathy would sure be something as well, but I’ve only seen it on a WD21 thus far.

If it’s a vg33....it’s e54 in this diagram

Here you go

EL-245 of the '97 manual (you've got the VG33, right? I always forget the cutoff for that) shows the fuel pump relay in the fuse box by the passenger's strut tower in the engine bay. There are three relays, a fuse link, and some blade fuses in there. The fuel pump relay is the closest one to the stud for what I assume is the battery terminal. (I also had a look at the '03 for the hell of it, and apparently Nissan moved it way back by the driver's tail light on those.) If that's not it, pull up the EL section of the correct manual on Nico, scroll way down to the "electrical units location" section, and that should show where they've hidden it on yours.

I’d say that turned out nicely! (I’m just not sure if you’ve got enough forward facing light on there ; )

Installing a bigger gauge package and getting rid of the smaller ones. I've already had to do a little bit of cutting on my bracket that goes to the radio but I think I'm going to make it work. Sent from my SM-S737TL using Tapatalk

Installed a fire extinguisher and cleaned out my drain holes. The passenger front was really really bad I started getting some leakage above the passenger side door on the headliner. Problem solved. Sent from my SM-S737TL using Tapatalk
