Although mine is shamefully still apart, (see today's photo), when it's finished it will be more or less "stock", with a Gen 2 suspension so it can perform as well as the local built prerunner trucks. I'm literally IN the desert, (that's Lucerne Valley in the background), just minutes from...
The only reason to keep a bone stock low mileage Gen 1 in a garage is to not use it as it was designed to be used. Then, go stare at it and think about the "good old days".
That's what you do with those designer jeans and Members Only jackets from the '80s (that no longer fit), now collecting...
The Gen 1 platform makes better Baja prerunner too.

I reread your post and figured out that's what you are referring to. It's easier to mimic the connection at the cap then mess with anything else. So a custom lockable cover over the cap, (or relocating the cap to another hidden location), is next.
I seem to remember the wires behind the cap are (were?) inside armored cable? How can you test for a ground wire when all the wires are bundled together? Does the armored cable end before it goes through the firewall? Would you need to open the hood to locate the wires?
Any previous repair records available? Any previous collisions? The only scenario I can think of that would result in that damage is some kind of janky roadside repair using the wrong tools to pry off an old seal.
Auto Insurance companies are seeing much higher rates of fraud, higher labor rates, higher parts costs, service backlogs, scarce parts availability, plus many owners are upside down or late on payments. Many of them just walk away after a claim, because if they don't have rental coverage, (and...
I'm pretty sure the oem tubing is made of softer, more flexible rubber/silicone material due to it's ability to cycle continuously.
Plastic tubing used for that application won't likely survive the twisting and flexing as long.
This little guy was apparently thrown from a van onto the dirt road one Sunday afternoon last year. He wasn't "injured" from that, but was clearly very sick, wouldn't take food or water, and died within the hour after the neighbors found him; the best we could do was bring him out of the sun and...
The same reason I'm completing a surveillance system with a PTZ camera on all 4 corners of a 2 acre parcel... so hopefully the shi tbags that steal things & abandon pets out here will go elsewhere.
