    4.0l 1GR-FE Tick Question

    Anyone here familiar with these engines? I have a 2008 4Runner, that doesn’t get driven enough, and the other day I noticed some rather loud ticking. But, I took the oil fill cap off and it didn’t change tone or get louder. It’s on both sides, but louder on the driver’s side. I’m almost...

    Toyota manual trans for 2JZ in a IH scout?

    Buddy of mine wants to put a 2JZ in a scout that has a T-18 at this time. A guy can buy an adapter for 2JZ to a chevy bell, and adapter for a scout T18 to a chevy bell... To me that seems janky and expensive. So, are there Toyota manual truck transmission/transfer case setups that use the 2JZ...

    Hydro cylinder size and steering stops?

    So about a year ago I installed a PSC 1.5x6 hydro ram on my front axle. Prior to installing it, my steering stops were all the way in and I had a really good turning radius. After installing the ram, the ram would max out way before it made contact with any of the stops. So now I am runnign it...

    Rot Box 4Runner

    This is going to be the start of my build thread for my 4Runner built to hurt all the jeepers feelings. My parts donor vehicle is my already built XJ that works, but is too far gone to save and turn into a family rig. The unibody was backhalfed right behind the front seats and now the unibody is...

    I have a 4 panel rear slider in my first Gen Tacoma. One of the glass panels is broken and I have a panel in another window. How do you get the glass out? It is the passenger fixed panel. I got the screw out of the top of the frame that holds the vertical channel, but I don't see any way of...

    1st Gen Tacoma Cab Swap

    I feel retarded even asking this. I have a 99 taco v6 cab going on a 97 taco 2.7 frame. Do I gotta swap the complete dash and wiring, or is there a quick way to swap the gauge cluster and ECU and use the rest of the v6 wiring? It just seems like a lot of work :lmao: I know the engine harness...

    Kinda '84 Toyota / '32 Plymouth YouTube Build

    So, Karl Fisher of Make It Kustoms / Japhands Kustoms is powering a '32 Plymouth Build with an '84 Toyota pickup drivetrain. His inspiration is the old off-road mail delivery vehicles. Here are the first two videos: If need be, move this to the "Other Builds" forum, but I thought it might...

  15. upside down 8"?

    Hey there toyota people - as a not-toyota guy I'm looking at doing an H1 portal build and using the toyota 8 or 8.4 as the center. I'd need to run it upside down since the Hummer boxes are 2-gear. I've seen plenty of people do this with the 9" Ford but haven't seen it done with the yotas...
  16. 1985 and iBooster

    I'm the second owner of this 1985 4Runner. It's something of a daily driver, though I'm a wheeler, and sometimes I think I can have it both ways - driver and a wheeler. I did a brake upgrade in 2022 (the solid rotors were warped) and hadn't been happy with it since - V6 calipers, Taco rotors...

    What power steering pump is this?

    Got this power steering pump second hand and need to rebuild it. I'm guessing it's a trailgear but the rebuild kit trailgear sells seem different. Any help finding a rebuild kit would be much appreciated.
  18. FZJ80 Check my logic

    I need advice from mind’s greater than mine. I have a 95 TLC that has a head gasket with a leak to the outside of the block. It comes and goes every few months and with the addition of a bottle of K-seal it holds for a while. Point being is that I’m researching a LS swap, I’d rather put in a 6.0...

    Elbow Grease

    Finally posting a build thread so I can document all the work going into my "turn key" crawler. After having kids, my 2 seat samurai buggy was no longer up to the task for family wheeling trips, and I didn't feel like cutting it up to add a back seat. I had been casually looking for a built...
