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

So your finger is pointing to a separation between the air filter housing and MAF sensor housing that would occur if the zip ties were not in place?
If that is the case then I think there is a problem the only thing that should be removable is the MAF sensor itself.

 

yeah dude that shouldn't of come off. Sorry man.

 

Heck just drill like 8 holes on the box and the housing to zip tie it together and glue it together with sensor safe silicone sealant and fill the holes in as well. Good as new.

 

For what the motor costs, I would buy a new airbox

 

What is he cuts an air filter and zip ties that to the inside of the hose???
Kidding I'm Kidding, that is his best bet, they pop up from time to time especially on craigslist but brand new they are a little over 100 bones.

 

Yea my finger is pointing to the point of separation

 

It's a clean separation so I think this weekend I'm going to remove the whole air box and try to attach and seal it properly, at least the best I can do

Any recommendation on what kind of adhesive to use? Or a good way to do it

 

If your going to give it a couple days of dry time I think epoxy would work.

 

And I would want to give it that long to avoid the epoxy fumes from ruining the MAF sensor?

 

Yep

 

West System G-Flex epoxy. Clean it up and flame treat the plastic before applying the epoxy. Wait a few days for it to gas off completely. It will never come apart.

 

How can I wait a couple days? It's my daily driver?

 

Then buy a new airbox. It's just a suggestion. A few days may be overkill, but if you do it on friday night I bet you could drive by Sunday no problem. There are other faster curing epoxies out there, but G/Flex is absolutely amazing stuff for plastic repairs.

 

As she currently sits

 

Dat body lift doe...

 

shocks will be coming sometime in the future

 

Haha it's all good. It's your truck and if you like it that's all that matters

Just be prepared for the hate haha

I would like to get a 1" body lift if I didn't have to worry about messing with the sliders and bumper.

 

I caught it was just a suggestion and that what my question was too, any suggestions but I might be able swing a weekend thing,

For now I just gotta hope the zip ties hold well

 

I'll deal with it bellassaiw was generous enough to give it to me so I can't complain much

 

Found the air filter housing for 156 daaaaaamn!!!!
