son of a bitch

Kind of like the Simpsons Did It episode

 

That means it must come true in real life

 

Hmmm new truck or suv

 

Rather have a gx470 or lX470

 

A few years back, we had a couple of tremors when the fracking boom was in full swing. Sounded and felt like a large clap of thunder.

If another quake hits the New Madrid fault, the Mississippi River will run backwards again.

 

Run backwards to were?

 

If it happens again and the Mississippi river river bridges are lost, this country will be in a world of hurt for a while. Too much commerce moves east-west across the river in the fault area.

Large lakes, such as Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and Big Lake at the Arkansas-Missouri border, were created by the earthquake as river water poured into new depressions.

i am having trouble finding a topic thread that lists all of the oem parts and #s in the engine compartment
does such a thread not exist?

I find it challenging let alone time consuming to find the proper online diagrams that also list the relavant part #s for quick order reference

 

At one time @mechanicjon was building a part list thread. But idk what happened.
So yeah there is probably no list

 

i feel like building a list! for easy future reference for all to enjoy
... will probably just be blacklisted (again)

 

It takes way to much time to compile every pn and organize it for one list.

 

Yep. There are variances between model years, engine, and trim options for it to cover everything. There might be a list of parts that are common between all 1st gens. To hit every variance, that could be a huge list.

If you are going to order OEM, the sites and parts vendors xref the part and vin number to avoid mistakes. I've seen a few differences between Prerunners and 4x4s of the same year.

What would be helpful with the first year of Tacoma hitting antique status next year, would be to have a reference list of known good aftermarket suppliers to use when OEM parts start to disappear or become prohibitively expensive to use. I don't know how long Toyota maintains parts after the 25 year mark. I have a 28 year old car where OEM parts started to dry up 3 years ago.

 

the engine compartment should be relatively identical for the 3.4?

my TB cover is your TB cover
my air filter box is your air filter box

 

oooh russians getting ready for a polar swim

 

Nope

 

i said 'relatively'
so far I have not seen too much that is not identical to mine on TW pics

 

I think Toyota is still making parts for the FJ40. But idk if they do that for anything else

 

You throttle body, intake, egr, charcoal canister, probably a few other things I’m missing is way different then a 04

 

I looked at an 94 Toyota Pickup parts list. Here's how it looks when parts start to disappear. The circle with the slash prevents it from being ordered.

 

Fj40 has lots of parts left to buy
