Drove it today. If 20' into the garage counts as driving.

- Today spent time cleaning up the wiring installation with protective wrap, etc.

- Installed radiator upper and lower hoses.

- Brake vacuum booster line. Removed the 3.0 stock booster line from the aft wall of the engine bay. Cut a small piece of it that fit just right from the port on the 3.4 intake to the brake system. I will use the space where the booster line was on the firewall to run the new wires so it looks nice.

- 3.4 oil dipstick hole in front of the engine. I think I have forgot to mention this hole. It is the one left by relocating the oil dipstick back near the engine mount. I ran a 10mm x 1.25 tap through this hole and installed a flanged head bolt with a thick bead of silicon to seal the hole. The flange just covers the hole and makes a nice looking final installation.

- Oil filter. Noticed that you can now reach through the left wheel well and remove the oil filter. that's nice.

- Fuel line. Fabricated a new line segment from the filter to the engine. Used 5/16 steel tubing and reused the fittings that were on the original line. This took three attempts before I had something I was happy with. Not that I am so picky, I just stink at tube bending. It looks real good now.

- Evap canister and switches. Fabricated brackets and installed the canister assembly on the left fender well near where it is normally located in a 1999 Tacoma. Used existing bolt holes in the fender bottom to attach at three locations. Used some 14 gauge steel strap that has holes predrilled in it about every 3/4". Made it real easy. Just had to bend it up.
