    Engine running issues

    '96 toyota tacoma 3.4 V6 with about 180k on it completely stock motor. Been having some issues for awhile and threw a P0171 code which is lean condition. I pulled the MAF and cleaned it.

    Toyota body swap or drive train swap?

    My buddy has a '81 2wd yota with a good cab and a '83 4wd with a not so good cab. How is the 2wd frame for doing an SAS on? I haven't had a chance to compare them yet but I thought I had heard they were a little bit better shaped frames? We want to redo the suspension anyways during the swap so...

    Battery mounting area

    So I'm in the process of fixing a bunch of crap on my truck that's messed up. One of the things is where the battery mounts on the inner fender. When you do a swap on a Taco you have to trim a bit of the inner fender out for the steering box and after time it has started collapsing under the...

    Wheel spacer studs

    Anyone know a part number or application for Toyota wheel spacer studs? I snapped off 3 of them when I lost my wheel bearing awhile ago and need to get them replaced. This is for 1.5" spacers but don't think that matters

    License plate lights

    Not very hardcore...but a necessary evil on DD's. I have my license plate mounted on the tailgate and was using bolts with leds in them from Summit but the output wasn't very good and they both burned out after about 3 months. Any ideas to get this sucker lit up better?

    Daily driver MT tire options?

    Looking for a 37ish tire that will wear well for daily driving and have decent traction. I was actually thinking about *cough* MTR's *cough* but wasn't sure how they wore for road miles. (note:they will not be my offroad tires) I have toyo's on currently and am not to happy with them being...

    Clutch woes

    Other day my clutch pedal starting acting up on me not returning all the way. So I checked the fluid and low and behold the MC had run down to where it was close to sucking air. Filled it up but didn't bleed it because I was in a hurry and the clutch actually got worse. So when I got a chance I...

    Yota brake lines

    Am I just an idiot (don't really need to answer that one :D) or why can't I find premade up brake lines with 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare fittings on them. NAPA looked at me like I had no clue what I was talking about and every vehicle came with standard fittings on it. I was able to find some...

    Firewall tubbing ?

    What guage of steel should I use for patching up the firewall after the hacking has commenced. I would think 14-16...something that can be formed to the shape of the firewall but also strong enough to take some abuse. Also any thing special like cold rolled or ???

    Chain drive t-case ?'s

    So I have been getting a clacking noise from my drivetrain lately and it has been puzzling the **** outta me. It happens when the truck has been sitting for a few hours...I take off and go a few hundred yards then when I decelerate something starts clacking. Turns out it is my square front...

    PSC hydro ram ?'s

    So I am getting ready to call up PSC and order some parts. I have a feeling they are just going to want me to send my ram in to have the shaft replaced but I am trying to get this going by next weekend. It looks like there is a cap with holes for a spanner wrench to remove it. Anyone ever taken...

    Lincoln or Miller?

    I am going in with a friend on a new welder just so I have something to work on my truck with again. We decided to go with a 180A unit just because neither of us has the money for a 210. I have always been a true blue fan myself and haven't actually used a Lincoln. My buddy at airgas wants me to...

    Hydro assist T/R mount

    What are you using to mount your ram to the T/R. Just welding tabs directly to it or using some kind of a clamp. I've seen a few sweet clamps before but mostly they were one offs. Since I went to a 1.25 T/R my old booty fabbed clamp doesn't fit anymore and I need to get my steering up to par for...
