Bought new oem fuel injectors from ebay for a 22re"c" engine my brother/mechanic wanted to teach me how replace injectors...
all went well till we found out I bought the wrong injectors
so took off efi for second time & found the right injectors reinstalled efi & broke off a bolt on the cold start ?injector? tried to drill & use extractor no luck but bolt drilled out and fell into intake so once again had to take efi off to get to bolt...
finally got everything back together and RV is running great and new injectors helped out a lot
brother asked what did I learn (meaning not to over tighten bolts) I said pay him to do it -
I have 22re 4 banger
If it's a V6 I agree with that you could do a compression check and if they all are close to the same I would leave it alone. The V6 adjustment is complex and can be confusing it is not some thing you would want to do your self for the first time. If it's a 4 cylinder then they should be adjusted at each tune up.

my engine is running good & I was going to adjust valves for maintenance reasons only & bought gasket kit talking to mechanic & Toyota Nation forum I decided not to do job because engine is running good at 72000 miles and don't want to have any problems after job from bad valve adjustment or just tightening valves to much....
Should I do the job?
or leave it alone because its running smooth.....
let me know what you guys think..

kept my on rear bumper storage area & left it their all year and it started chipping away from sun lucky it was on top of container so no leak...

I was messing around with old camera & power it off running lights that had a bad & short connection the + wire broke off solder and fell inside rv..
so I took off kitchen cabinet sub wall to get to running light wires to pigtail & fix No-Go it was the running light that was dead center inside of wall separating bathroom & kitchen..No big deal..
Drilled a hole for new wires & spliced into exciting running lights
& got me thinking why not have backup camera & all wires tucked away inside cabinet sub-wall for a neater look outside & not running wires & rca video cable all over the place..
So I went to Fry's and bought a backup 170* camera that is flush mounted with rv came with its own drill bit for easy install $45w/tax
to go wireless I bought a fm 2.4gh video transmitter & receiver ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DOQAGO2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) not blu-tooth fm signal works better//for me//
installed transmitter outside of sub-wall for better reception & installed receiver under dash..
works good & better picture than my rca cable...
getting ready to paint outside RV so RV skin is rough looking.. -
good job they look nice!!
I replaced mine with these. The top set of lights I drilled circles into diamond plate. The bumper lights I bought a set of already manufactured light boxes and had them powder coated.
-
I was able to change my order to these just to be safe
plus these are flush mount others weren't
Are 'yours' legal without a reflector incorporated? (Unless you plan to add one?)
These have a reflector included:-
-
The ones I have now do not have reflectors
in California not sure of laws

I will update pics hopefully back of rv will be painted asap so it will look nice and clean
the price is right at $43 for pair
should be an easy install
They are very nice looking. Can't wait to see a photo of them installed on your rig. I do want to replace my tail lights next year. I have a different opening size but that can be worked around. I have to make a custom base anyway as my 1980 Sunrader does not have a flat surface to mount the lights on. Even the original lights used on it don't fit properly without 3 layers of black butyl tape at the outside edges.

yeah it should not be hard to patch the holes
and my options are wide open:)
Your tail lights are the old Bargman 1400's. Nothing made today is quite so long. Closest is the Bargman 84 series triple long but it's a recessed light and needs a hole. I have never seen the 1400's surface mounted before. If your going to paint anyway filling a few holes isn't a big deal. I'd say your light options are wide open since you've got to make some changes anyway. I'd look for surface mount and pick from there.

fan was stopped when I fried mine as soon as I flipped switch fried resistor...
good news we cut into rv and installed top portion of fan now waiting for usps to bring my new upgrade kit:)
with a reverse switch!
IMPORTANT
Due to weird electronic things, if you do this mod you must wait until the fan stops then move the switch. DO NOT change when the fan is turning.
