LOL...saw this on the "new posts," and clicked on it. Wasn't until the last few posts that I realized how old this thread is. Your new driver has 8 years under her belt now!

glad to hear that your FT's are better. Let us know how it turns out!

I really like the design overall. I'm with @mudgudgeon, and am not a professional designer or fabricator, so take my observations with a grain of salt. I assume you didn't take the bumper out to meet the fender flares for ground clearance or bumper strength? It looks like it comes up short. The...

Thanks for the clarification! I did not even try unbolting it from the actual clutch. Great to know.

I had no clearance issue with my Tundra fan. I switched to an early 100 series fan just because the Tundra fan I had was bad. But there are no clearance issues with mine. I had thought about going the electric LS fan/shroud route, but decided to use mechanical based on other's experience with...

Have you seen if this fits the 80 series ash tray spot? My TBC hits my knee where the PO mounted it. That would be good to know!

Glad you figured it out! ;)

Interesting. I always assumed it was a filter as well. Maybe it is for catching condensation in the fuel vapors? It seems unlikely that it would be used for noise suppression? But Toyota does do that from time to time.

I believe the problem the OP has is that the engine is further forward than expected, from what I can tell. It is bolting up fine, but the motor mounts aren't lining up with the frame mounts. I think the issue is probably bellhousing thickness.

you're welcome! Good Luck to ya.

Let's hope not. Hoping it is an easy (relatively...lol) fix.

When I had cleaned my throttle body, I accidentally clogged the ports that go right above the throttle body, that feed vacuum to the EGR modulator at partially open throttle. You might check and make sure the gunk you cleaned out of the TB didn't gum them shut.

Something I ran into when doing my swap. I used a 2002 4x4 Tundra ECM, engine, and harness. I repurposed the front diff wiring (ADD actuator and limit switches) to supply signal to the EVAP system MAP sensor, and canister control valve, since those wires on Tundra come in from the driver's side...

Great info. Thanks for the pic! Has anyone found a good OE solution for the AC lines?
