What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Love it. Fake headers on a door. Must be super awesome looking when the door is open.

 

Did OP check to see if he had headers on the other side too? That we we can confirm it’s actually a blown v8. Must be like 2000hp judging from the caltracs.

 

I'm gonna change the subject entirely since we are all professionals on shocks/batteries/washer bottles now. Maybe sharing knowledge is too challenging for the modern breed of online human. But we can give it one more shot, this time with no assertiveness since that just wrinkles everyone's panties.

Anyone with a 5VZ tired of the oil filter location but hesitant to run extra hoses? I've measured, but just pulled the trigger, waiting for shipping now. But I think this will make it a lot easier and out it where it can be reached right in front.

 

My 95 Tacoma and 01 4runner use 2 different front sensors

 

All that or does is move the oil filter location 90 degrees pretty much?

I may pick one of those up

 

Can I get a banana for scale? Not sure how long that finger is.

 

It’s time to replace the lower spherical bearings on my Kings, has anybody got part numbers for the bearings and misalignment spacers?

 

Please keep me/us posted.

 

Yup, it's pretty much the lowest profile 90° adapter I could dig up that doesn't require removing the oil feed stud

 

My finger is 32" long....

In all seriousness I think it comes out to 1.5" until it hits the pan.

 

COM10T is the bearing part number. I don't know the part number for the misalignment spacers. @TMFF Do you know what they are off hand?

 

Toyota engineers didnt design the motor for that, you will grenade the motor, unless you use mobil 1 full synthetic and a k&n air filter.

Good find! Document the install, curious to see how it works out!

 

I run Crisco, it's the only synthetic I trust. And if you're gonna run a K&N you might as well not half ass it and just pull the filter entirely.

I'll let ya know how it works, or doesn't. Gotta love Summit racing for that sick return policy and shipping.

 

Interested to hear how it works out, I hate the filter location but I got my routine down now and only spill a little oil during oil changes

 

Damn never thought of crisco! I'm going to mix it 50/50 with my 5-30 so I dont blow the seals out right off the bat with that cleansing power.

I like the tech like this on TW, not everything needs to be about building tube buggies and fabricating axle housings from ore you mined yourself! My oil filter is jammed up against my steering box and frame and this may solve some problems!

 

The real solution is an oil filter delete kit

 

Let me get home bro. I got a box on the counter

 

Right, I’m aware that Toyota switched from narrowband to wide and at one point. somewhere around 2000 on the 5vz. Dude mentioned that his 04 Tacoma and 02 4Runner had different front sensors when they both have ETCS-I. That’s not right.
