    other than that,...
    past few days...
    installed bed
    reinstalled orange turn front signals
    kept old bed liner off
    sprayed some black paint in places behind the grille where red used to showup in pics
    played around with throttle body (somehow truck's idle is pretty bad) but im still experimenting with the TB
    bought some BG 44K (holy crap $18!!!) and $10 worth of gas
    ordered a flanged nut from Toyota dealership, lmfao $1.57, it was for my intake.... manifold.... and runner.... i think i may have a tiny air leak where i need that nut to secure the manifold and runner correctly..

    took wire brush wheel to the chrome bumper
    polished top of intake manifold....
    sprayed steelies from faded black to glossy black!!
    sprayed mirrors from fading gray plastic to glossy black
    sprayed OEM cardinal red onto the rear valance things that sit right before rear wheels! they were plastic and fading into pink..


    and thats all i can remember!







    but seriously, i park damn close!

    yup!

    i have another pic ( will upload later ) i parked behind the van lol, and i was reall close, only space to slide in 4 sheets of paper!


    but for today I took a bottle, filled some gasoline in it, pulled a hose from the valve cover (the hose that connects to TB) and pour some gasoline in it. well as from experience, in my stock manifold, the location on the cold start injector is always clean. well gasoline cleans out some carbon and some gunk sometimes! well im sure the gasoline i pour into the hose went into the Idle air port thingy, cleaned it out a bit.


    and i pulled spark plug wire #1 (as engine ran lol) look into the boot and saw the lil screw on thing for the spark plug came out... so as i went to reconnect, guess what!? zap zap zap lol, very strong zap this time.

    turned off motor, plugged boot back on, screwed the lil thing back on, and reconnected that wire

    then truck idles REAL good.. idk why tho, but i screwed in idle screw all the way and can still stop and go without dying!

    no problem, will attempt to get pics of my taillights also, i think the taillights that are all tinted look much better than when i had them tint, white, tint...


    and for V8 titan, i think i should dedicate a video of me pulling sparky wires and getting shocked =D
