Well I am proud to say that I am now the new owner of this beautiful 87 Yota! I flew in to Albuquerque,NM from west Texas yesterday morning and drove her back to Texas. It was an incredible 7hr drive home and enjoyed every minute of it. I did...

Oh, you didn't do exhaust yourself. Then yeah, verify if it's exhaust leak.

Some more tinkering done. Motor mounts and exhaust hacked off, will go back in with an air chisel to more surgically remove the leftover bits later. Engine bay is basically cleared out. It may not be super apparent from the pictures posted so...

REBUILT HARNESS: 2UZ (Manual or Automatic) Remodeled to Standalone OEM management to fit into any vehicle. We wire up your harness so that you have 3 wires to connect. We also wire in your alternator oil light, rev count and temp gauge, as well...

This was satisfying. My driveway is covered in all kinds of pretty colors now, too. I'll pull the split case tonight or tomorrow and see how things look inside, that's about all I'll be able to get done until next weekend with the weather and...

Here's a pic of the driver seat at the full rear position. Comfortable to sit, easy in and out, but too far back. I can't comfortably operate my shifters so I'll try the other positions before I commit to anything permanent. I don't know if you...

Here's a pic of how it's coming together.

@ntsqd I saw where someone made a drive shaft loop and had the bottom half under the truck and the top over the hump. I got down under the truck and took a look to see if that would work for me. My horse collar cross member is directly under...

The early R150F behind a 3.0 has a shorter input shaft and shallower bell housing than the one behind the 3.4. The early shallower bell housing also has the slave on the passenger side vs on the driver side on the later 3.4 version. I used a...

I believe you are 100% correct. Not sure there's any reason for a different bellhousing.

Definitely need to use the bell that matches the trans. the 3.4 parts are longer

Hello, My Name is John, I run a small customs shop out in Oregon. I do all sort of random projects, historically muscle cars. I was asked a few years ago to do my 1st, 1st Gen 4runner. It got ful body and paint simply. But i did put together a...

Quoted from 3.4L (5VZ-FE) Conversion - Tech Info - Off Road Solutions - https://www.offroadsolutions.com/tech-info/3-4l-5vz-fe-conversion/#engine_mounts "This 5-speed manual transmission is nearly identical to the unit placed behind a 5VZ-FE...

Oh yeah, I get it. The FSB is up 4" on metric 35's, and it's a very upright seating position so the side bolster is almost at the bottom of my rib-cage when I'm standing on the ground next to it. The Wagon is deliberately on 33-10.50's. Not sure...

part of the frustration - which I neglected to mention - is due specifically to vehicle height. Even after lowering the tacoma 1.5", it was still frustrating. Only work around that I came up with was to slide the seat all the way back before...

I ordered the flat seat option but kept the slight bolsters in the back rest for just that reason. These are the Enduro Trek model. The Crawl has high seat bolsters and back bolsters. The Trail version has the high seat bolsters and no back...

Before you fully weld… spend an afternoon getting in and out and in and out and in and out. And then do it again. I pulled the PRP Daily Drivers out of my truck because getting in and out over the side bolsters eventually became such a PITA...

Here's one of my cool tubing tools in action. Definitely can save on wasted tubing. Hopefully it helps me refit my harness bar.

I FINALLY got a couple days to work on this build. I did get the spare up into the bed so I can figure out back stay anchor points. Since the seats and harnesses need to attach to the cage, I played around with how I was going to mount the...
