    Hey everyone. My air cleaner box on my Tacoma broke right where my mass airflow sensor bolts on. I tried various attempts to fix it but eventually falls apart. So I've decided to replace it.

    Problem is I can't find the right box for my make and model. Below are the pictures of mine showing the MAS location. As well as the box I keep finding that says it fits my truck.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I tried Amazon, browsed a little on eBay and various autopart stores. I have yet to look on Craigslist

    You should put your location in your info so people can help you with local deals - Personal Details under "You" at the top of the screen. CL usually has the best prices.

    Thank you, I'll have to update my info. I believe the dealer had one for around 300. Wish I had the newer style that was 70$ on Amazon ha

    It's the mounting bracket that the sensor bolts to, cracked right at the box. I can grab a better photo in the morning

    You shouldn't have to pay more than $80. Update your info man someone's gotta have one near you or will be able to find one.

    I'd have a junkyard do a search on their network and have one sent in. Get the part number for the one you need. I've done it several times with different makes with excellent [and cheap] results.

    Put in Tacoma V6 your year (or any first gen year should be good) and air box - got results from $40 to $125.

    Awesome! Says there's one for 75 fairly close I'll have to give them a call. Thanks, that's going to be a good resource for sure.

    I'm not sure myself, I'll have to look into that and get back to you.

    I almost feel like I have to make it work if it doesn't fit, why didn't you say it was chrome from the beginning haha

    Looking at the intakes for my model, still has the inline sensor not the one that comes in from the side. It's a shame I'm going to miss out on that HP and torque. I really appreciate the offer though!
