Operation Crash Bandicoot 4x4 Swapped 05' Tacoma

Slee makes a mount for the dual arb that mounts around the washer bottle

 

ABS Brake modulator or something. I think SLEE has a bracket, and expedition something has one that goes in the bed cubby. I got a used Air Zenith OB2 from marketplace.

 

damn those are some pricey units!

 

@ChamYota when you did your swap did you have to do anything special for the rear driveshaft crossmember?

 

Negative. The transmission crossmember had to be modified if memory serves me well.

 

@XxJCORONAxX

 

Idk know then cause they measure different

 

Somewhere on this thread I didn’t do a super write up per se but I know someone on here has. I referenced it a lot lol

 

dropping the ole girl off to get the HG looked at today

 

yeah me too. I've had this thing for 11 years.. idk if i can lose it lol.

We gonna send it dont joo worry


also assuming this goes well gonna grab me a 10lb Co2 Tank for airing up.

 

Give her the love she deserves and you won't lose her. CO2 sounds annoying to go get filled... but then again I guess they come to you now?

 

eh i think theres several places around town that'll do it. 20$ or so i believe. One 10lb tank will last me a year+ easy of trips. i dont want to fidget with Air compressors and shit on the truck lol.

 

Got the truck back from the shop. 112$ later.

Apparently the crush washer on plug #6 wasnt all the way seated and it threw the code on cold mornings.

they replaced the plug and ran a hydrocarbon test 3X for my sanity and that was that.

Drove her today knowing she's gonna be here with me for the long haul.

 

Sucks you coulda replaced the plug yourself but glad it wasn't worse!

 

oh yes that was slightly annoying but i wont complain. Could have been wayyyyy worse

With that my mind will rest at ease, for now lol.

 

well boys got some bad bad news,

My taco threw the P306 code again and i was losing coolant.

I dropped it off to my local shop and they informed me that i have cylinder head scarring on top of the head gasket..

Probs gonna have to look at getting a new Jasper Engine @ 5000$ before labor

I really didnt want my truck to go down this way.

The build will be on standby for now of course. I got GSMTR in about 2 months so hopefully she's back up and running before then..

2005 Tacomas suck. :sad:

 

Did they show you pics? I would keep the old motor and open it up yourself, learn more!, post pics here and see if it's worth putting some love into. Worst case there's plenty of good stuff on it to sell to recoup costs.

I also have a severe distrust for other people working on my vehicles. It's in their best interest to keep you paying them money as long as possible.

 

I personally gonna try and get my motor back unless a steep discount comes with them keeping it. I don’t trust mechanics for the most part but this just felt like soemthing I was gonna have to deal with eventually. Either by myself or with someone more knowledgeables help.

def gonna try and recoup some costs. Don’t know what I would sell tho lol
