    B9287D5F-EB8E-4E9C-9E8F-88DD9C4C8BDC.jpg Can’t seem to find an aftermarket stock style Air Box for my 96 Tacoma 3.4. Only things I can find is brand new from Toyota for $500 which is not happening. Or aftermarket boxes but they are for 99-04 and look nothing like mine. Anybody know where to get one for a 96 or mine snapping a picture of what the one in there truck looks like to make sure mine is right?

    That’s what my air filter box looks like on my 04….
    Have you checked with some salvage yards? If you do, don’t forget to check out the 4Runners. They are more common in a salvage yard than a Tacoma, and they might be the same. Idk

    Replace it with a sock type filter by Unifilter or K&N.

    Which style MAF sensor do you have? I think that's the only difference between the early 95-00 and 01-04 air boxes.

    I have the older MAF and it’s port is permanent unlike the newer ones that can be unbolted and moved to a different box

    I've been eyeballing this one for a while. For $77 shipped and shipping from California (not overseas), I'm willing to roll the dice on it since at the end of the day it's a plastic box. As long as my MAF bolts in correctly it'll be better than my current cracked one that's held in by 1 screw.

    I've got the same broken arms. Thinking about some fiberglass or metal reinforcements when I get down my list enough to buy a new one.

    Yeah I’ve seen those for sale all over but that won’t work on the 95-98 models cause our MAFs are different
