Thermostat, New Moog Ball Joints, 12+ Steering Wheel Controls

Hey Guys & Gals,
We have two early second Gen Tacomas 5 lugs. The 07 w/ 27k miles & was a Mint condition reg. cab 5 lug. I’m having it LS Swapped (my bucket list) with an aluminum 5.3 L33 HO and a Tremec TKX. It’s getting electrical issues fixed still. Knowing that the 07 was going to be out of commission for some time I purchased another Tacoma same model and even same color sight unseen. But this one was a neglected 05 w/ over a 155k. Not knowing the full history I’ve purchased or replaced just about every “Wear” component. This will be my daily, I spent about 6 months just buying parts and somehow purchased two of a few parts. I gutted the interior replaced carpet, seats, stereo, Steering wheel* and etc. Now going completely through the drivetrain and replacing every wear component including all new hoses, U & ball joints, Viking C/O’s, StopTech’s, new cat, 02’s, exhaust system, new rear gear w/ a TrueTrec Yada Yada Yada. Anyway to the reason you are here…

1st. SOLD The first few years of the 2.7L engine it had a plastic water bypass under the intake manifold but Toyota updated it with a metal one. Somehow I ended up purchasing two factory tubes with gaskets. These are not cheap but most have been replaced by now.

2nd. A new aftermarket lower temperature thermostat stick open. The thermostat with both gaskets. It runs @ 175 degrees, I don’t remember the exact specs but the one I installed runs right at 175 degrees. It might be a placebo but I swear the truck runs better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This was purchased from RockAuto Asking $5 plus shipping

3rd. A new Gates serpentine belt for a 2.7L with AC.

4th. A set of New Moog Ball joints and from I was told the Moog fitment guide is not correct?? But I really have no idea!
Purchased these for our Tacoma but, they were the wrong ones. I waited to long to return! See Pictures and do not ask me if they will fit your vehicle because I don’t know! Do your own research! Here’s a link to what they fit. Asking $25 plus shipping

These are Gone!! I also replaced the steering wheel with a late model steering wheel year unknown. But it’s got to be pretty recent year with the controls it has. Please see all the pictures‼️ Oh shot glass and black bolt not included.
Please make offer because I have no idea what this is worth.

Now I know these parts might not be in big demand so the price is Best Offer. Or in other words I didn’t want to toss them in the trash! I could just keep the belt but I’m hoping someone will need it.
See the photos below Oh, I don’t have PayPal anymore so please trust me enough to pay w/ Zelle and my wife has Venmo. Guys I’m not about to scam someone out of a few measly bucks just to run an hide. Before I was 2.0 I was just Hayrider and was booted off here and went through Hell to get back on here so I’m not about to screw that up! This enthusiast forum might not be perfect but it’s far superior to others out there.

 

You better put a price on it or the mods will delete the post. BST rules say you have to have a price.

 

How much for the metal bypass pipe required gaskets?

 

Josh, Thanks and Ok I really wasn’t expecting that someone would need this by now.
$45 shipped for the factory bypass tube and gasket.

Sir, This sells for $52 plus $10.39 for the gasket.

I’m in Mesa AZ so the shipping should be around $8 because of the size of the box.

$58 Toyota Water Pipe - 16268-75131

Ok, guys I really love the new thermostat temperature. It’s so nice to see the engine running below 198°. I might be stupid but I really like the temperature of this part.

 

Ok my bad. Someone here made me an offer and I guess I must of accidentally deleted it.
I need to find a box because of the way the pipe is shaped.

 

Twas me lol. Just tagged you

 

put me for 2nd on water pipe......if it doesn't go

 

The metal water pipe has been sold to @whiteknight4x4

@T@co_Pr3runn3r Sorry for my late response to the bypass pipe being sold, my Bad!

I guess I put the belt & thermostat in storage to forget I have them until we move again.

 

Bump for ball joints and 10 degrees lower thermostat.
