4JJ1 4wd Rc Colorado reassembled, rear wiring loom installed, fuel tank back in place and buttoned up ready to go again!

4JJ1 4WD Rc Colorado.
One of the fuel pump issue symptoms was this replace filter light coming on at full load on the engine while driving.
A sensor at the top of the fuel filter housing detects low fuel level and pops up.
This turned out to be corroded wiring in the through floor wiring plugs under the passengers seat, pump was likely fine but has a new one in place now anyway.

Fuel pump operational again after a wiring repair job including replacing the whole rear loom on the 4wd Rc Colorado 4JJ1. Time to put it back together and drive it some more!

Well a fun couple of days on the 4wd Rc Colorado.

Started off as an iffy fuel pump and turned into a full loom swap in the rear end and some new plugs in the cab after discovering some lovely corrosion from water sitting in the plugs under the passengers seat.
New intank pump/sender unit fitted in the process.

Now to put it all back where it belongs!!

A bit more Tig welding while i wait for parts to show up.

Jigged up the secondary 4jj1 exhaust pipe off the downpipe and fabbed up a quick solid test piece to verify my fl**ge angles and distances were in the right spot.

Pretty bang on and with a flexi in there it will take up any bit of tension there might be.

Now i can do a bolt in mid pipe which will open out to 2.5" and delete the next catalytic converter as well.

Next in the pipeline is a downpipe with a 2.5" fl**ge on it instead of the factory downpipe version which is 2".

This will need a matching midpipe to work with it that will still bolt in to your 4jj1 ute giving 2.5" from the turbo back on 07-2010 models with the early turbo.

Will get a jig sorted for the later model turbo once i have a factory downpipe on the shelf to use.

Later on i will work up to full 3" systems as well once i get the time to develop them!

Some quick mods to the engine stand to mount a plywood work surface on top.

Easier for sitting drain pans and buckets on for all the mess that likes to fall out of the 4JJ1s when i bolt one up.

Tidy up the shop a bit for friday afternoon.
This 4JJ1 is looking very sorry for itself.

Made it to 340kms on the original injectors then decided it needed a few more holes in the block.

This one can go off to scrap ready for the motor out of the 4wd Auto Rodeo to go on the engine stand and get the 4wd oil pan and sump pulled off.

I will need to swap that onto my good 2wd engine before that can get dropped into it and fired up.
