What did you do to your yota today?

[Pretaco]

Pulled the engine from our new '03 sequoia since it started making a crazy knocking noise and lost power. 334k on the truck, but we only had it for a month. Putting a used engine in this weekend and will rebuild the old one for some other project.

 

[Penetrode Offroad]

Put some pizza's on my shit. Need to trim a smidge. Should get a 1" spacer for the front I'd venture.

 

[Slander]

Penetrode Offroad let me know how you like those tires, I have been eyeing them up as a possible replacement for my pro comps.

What size are those?

What size are those?

Looks like 255-85/16. I have the same size in Cooper ST Maxx on my Tacoma.

That makes more sense. I kept reading 255/35r16 and was trying to figure out how the hell those rub

 

[Slander]

I loved my 255/85/16s when I was IFS. IMO perfect size tire for a non solid axle swapped 1st gen Tacoma. Plus wide tires on a Toyota truck are gaaaaaay

don't you have 12.5's on your tacoma now? Pretty wide.

Yea but not for 37s. If I could buy a 37 with 9" of width in this country I would

 

[Sluggy]

Could run 38.5x11 bloggers lol, I know it's not 9"wide...

Already had interco tires, fuck that

rockota wagon wheel is more round and rides better on the road than intercos

Had 33x10.5-15's on the last toyota and they were about perfect IMO. Thats a hard size to find these days

That's essentially what a 255/85r16 is, you just have to go to a 16 inch rim. But they still aren't that common and they are expensive.

 

[Steve300xcw]

But then I'd have to buy wheels

 

[Penetrode Offroad]

They are the 255/85/16's. My buddy has em on his 2014 with a 3" lift and likes them.

I'm not sure how much actual wheeling it's gonna get in the next couple months due to the new house but I cannot wait for snow!

I'll report back and see if it helps my lack of driving capabilities

What was your specs at the time? 3" lift and some cutting or what? Got pics of it back then?

 

[Steve300xcw]

3" lift and some cutting or what?

I bet you dont need that much.

I could clear 32x11.5's with no lift. Now 33-12.5's rubbed on everything. But I bet a skinny tire wouldnt need much.

My wheels might have a lil more offset in them though..

OME 882s, so 2 maybe 3, whatever those came out to. I pounded the pinch weld and that was about it.

 

[the_white_shadow]

2" leveling kit on an old tacoma i had cleared the Toyo pizza cutters. Perfect tires for these trucks.

 

[Aisin]

In the process of converting an A340E into an A340F. I tore down the A340F Monday to rob the output shaft. Not nearly as bad as I thought. Only needed a long flat nose screwdriver for all of the big snap rings in the case. I did need lock ring pliers for the very last locking ring to get the output shaft out of the case. Currently midway through disassembling the A340E. I have a Transgo 340-HD2 that I will be installing in the valve body.

Slick, thanks gentlemen!

I ignored the frame rubbing as that will go down as the tires wear.

I think my truck was the most fun to wheel with that tire size, the rear Elocker and dual cases. So stable and such a sleeper rig!

my fj80 i feel is the same way, stable, and lockers make it a sleeper for sure. 33 tires for the win.

What are you doing about the speed sensor? That aluminum puck only has 2 triggers where the Toyotas I've seen have 4. There is a later gen AW4 shaft that has 4 but haven't verified it senses correctly.

 

[blakes]

I did the timing belt on my first gen taco a few weeks ago and don't have the tool to hold the crank pulley, so I just got it as tight as I could in 5th gear.

Checked it today.

Still tight

Not sure where you got your info but you are incorrect. Both outputs have a single trigger in each one.

 

[Motiracer38]

Oh you originally had the aluminum puck I follow now. I've had quite a few A340E's apart but none had one yet.

What gears did you have? I think I have 4.10s considering the 3rz, TRD.

You have the 3.4 auto right?
