Hello,
Can anyone point me towards a source for the vacuum diaphragm that operates the secondaries on a 20r Carb? I'm having a really hard time finding one.
If no source exists is there a way to repair these old diaphragms? I have a sneaking suspicion that mine failed recently. Have not...
Hi guys,
I’m currently installing a w56 transmission in my 1980. How does the clutch form mount on the pivot? Here is the style fork I have (off my old g52 and the same fork that came with my w56a).
Does that clip fit over the pivot ball so it is physically retained? Or does the pivot just...
Hello,
I recently did an SAS on my 1989 4runner and kept it pretty low. I used RUFs, Allpro rear springs (3” I think), and new 5100 shocks. Rear shocks are mounted factory style, not in a /\ formation.
I rode around all summer with a soft top or no top and the thing drives really well. It’s...
Hey guys,
Anyone run a softopper on the back of their first gen pickup? Wondering what models might fit. There are quite a few of these on marketplace that look close. i have a bobbed long bed that's about 72" long. Looks like a ford ranger might work and they are actually pretty common. I'm...
All items are new and were purchased for a 2004 Tacoma double cab I have since sold. Prices are pickup only (unless stated otherwise) and negotiable. I can ship on your dime.
Set of OME 883 coils new in box $150
JBA Offroad control arms $400
Left and right OEM Toyota Lower control arms. $200...
Has anyone ditched the water choke and converted the existing linkage to a manual choke? I’m guessing most people just switch to a Weber, but I’m an Aisin man. My goal is to ditch all the hoses running hither and yon to a simple pull choke like the 2F motors had.
I was told this topper came off a double cab Tacoma, but it certainly seems too short. I’ve only had a softopper on my 4runner - never on a pickup, but this doesn’t look right. If I move the rails in either direction there’s no way the top will even attempt to cover one end of the bed...
Asking price is $7500 and I’m not going lower.
The time has come to sell my 80. I’ve had it for almost 7 years and about 30,000 miles. I still drive it a few times a week, but I don't commute for work and I have three other built Toyotas. Unfortunately the 80 is the least fun of them to...
I have a 1980 20r pickup from Arizona. The harness is is bad shape - heat and POs did a number on it, though it the motor runs and most everything works. No smog equipment.
I just picked up an ‘83 with a beautiful harness.

My gauge cluster has a tach and gauges. The ‘83 just has idiot...
Is this common on these old Toyota’s? Obviously I’m going to weld this crack up. Is it worth it to “plate” the area with some additional sheet metal? I’ll be wheeling this truck but probably not anything TOO wild.
Passenger side has a tiiiiny little crack I can weld from the engine bay. Is...
2004 Double Cab Tacoma TRD Offroac 4x4,
First off! This truck has a rebuilt title. It was totaled in 2004, rebuilt, and here we are. 212k miles (slowly going up). Just did timing belt and water pump at 205k. Runs and drives great. Has The TRD Elocker with grey wire mod. I’ve just been using...
So I bought another Toyota because I have no impulse control. You may have seen it on this site, most notably when @yotadude520 owned it.
It’s a 1980 Long bed Toyota Truck. The bed has been bobbed to a standard bed length. It has 5.29s and lockrights front and rear, a w56 5spd and regular old...
I’ve got a set of very lightly used Dobinson rear 4” flexy coils that I would like to trade for some 3” or 2” tapered/progressive coils in similar condition - don’t really care what brand. I have a pretty “light” 80 and these were just too tall for me. I’m really only interested in trading and...
Does anyone have a list of other vehicle toppers that fit a first gen double cab short bed? Nissan frontier, Chevy Colorado, etc.?
I’d really like a camper top, but the odds of finding one for a double cab Tacoma around me are slim.
Hi all,
The AC is my 94fzj80 has not worked since I bought it 8 years ago. It had no charge in it and I didn’t really care. I disconnected it once to get to the heater core ~6yrs ago and about a year ago removed the drier for a high clearance bumper And just left the lines dangling open. I...
I just relocated my front turn signals to my corner lights due to installing an aftermarket bumper. This is nothing new, but I combined a couple methods into one that worked for me.
I hate cutting factory wiring so I bought plugs which plug into the factory turn signal plugs. Then I drilled...
Hi guys,
The SC is sounding a little raspy on this new to me tacoma and figure quarantine is a good time to dig into it. Dunno when it was service last.
Is there a decent kit you would recommend to service these grey SCs? I’ve found a few on EBay, but I am completely new to forced induction...
Hi guys,
Im doing Some bodywork on a 4Runner. This is a semi beater trail truck/DD and I am NOT (I can’t stress that enough) a body man. I’ve welded in a bunch of patch panels on the rockers and rear fenders along with some fender trimming.
I didn’t use weld thru primer because I didn’t know...
Probably a stupid question - can someone please tell me how to remove the female wire connectors from this plug? I have used picks and small screwdrivers from both sides with no success. I’m trying really hard not to break the plastic, but my patience is running out. Am I missing something...
