LOL...

Appreciate it...
My 3.0 might be taking a dump on me...

Time to start it i think

fatlife · 02-26-2009, 01:00 AM

how much of a lift are the rear LC springs?
are you running the stock links?

nice runner. alot like mine 91 22re

904_runner · 02-26-2009, 09:46 PM

Well the back sags a bit and i have a 4" sas kit. So probably lifted it 3.5 inches
Yes im running the stock links which i hate, i plan on going to leafs when i get money.

904_runner · 02-26-2009, 09:48 PM

Update to my build.....

Well my motor is done for i believe. All the cylinders have 100psi and cylinders 2 and 6 have 60-65psi....... All are really low..

So im checking out a 3.4L this weekend, if it checks out good i will be picking it up to throw it in the runner..

fatlife · 02-27-2009, 10:44 AM

are you running stock height LC springs? im trying to keep mine low as possible, tub the rear and firewall. does the 36" rub on the front of the rear wheel well? im just asking all these questions because i cant really find other builds with stock links im planning om making new links when i got the cash but for now the stock ones have to work.

904_runner · 02-27-2009, 10:58 AM

Um in the back its fine. It pulls the inside lip of the rear fender out a little after it flexes all the way...

I had to pull the rear bumper though because the tires rubed on it..
I used the TG sas kit for the front and moved the front hanger 3/4" forward..
It actually rubs on the front bumper, doesn't touch the firewall.

904_runner · 03-01-2009, 09:58 AM

Picked up my 3.4 yesterday.

vital22re · 03-01-2009, 10:51 AM

i'm excited for you man!!! just hurry up throw that motor in there!

RaginYota · 03-07-2009, 07:31 AM

NICE!!! and so it begins

904_runner · 03-08-2009, 12:59 PM

okay i trying to find the parts that i need to finish this swap..

Now i was thinking about using my 3.0 flywheel/starter/clutch...
Would that work, or should i buy the 3.4 flywheel/clutch.. Then would the 3.0 starter work with that combo?

Also does anybody know which M/T ecu i need that would have the same plug connections as the auto ecu with part number.

89661-04460

heres the pic of the ecu, idk if it helps

Thanks in advance..
-Mike

904_runner · 03-08-2009, 08:26 PM

Bump>..

jacruz2 · 03-10-2009, 07:14 PM

Bump^^^

Lets see some progress pics

904_runner · 03-11-2009, 10:31 PM

Hey does anyone have the template ORS used to sell for the 3.4 swap oil pan dipstick hole..

Apparently i have to drill the hole for the sucker..

904_runner · 03-12-2009, 09:08 PM

Okay i guess im not going to buy the template.

Do you guys know what size drill bit it needs for the hole? i believe ors said 3/8" bit.

Also does anyone have the part number for the adapter for the dipstick tube adapter?

like in this pic???

wolfrunner · 03-12-2009, 09:48 PM

hey man i dont have any info that will help you on your swap but i just want to say great job taking on such a big task. once your done you can come pick up my runner and check out my rear chevy spring swap and put a 3.4l in it while you have it. OK? lol. nice job.

904_runner · 03-12-2009, 09:50 PM

Lol, if you want me to do that, i get to keep those toyos!

This is a big project, hopefully i can get some progress to it soon..
im going to have to order parts and thats what is keeping me from doing anything...

scuba · 03-12-2009, 10:24 PM

Holy hell...Looks good dood...cant wait to see it running !!!

904_runner · 03-12-2009, 10:27 PM

yea me too................

SMOD · 03-13-2009, 12:04 PM

I know a friend who sas'd his runner just like urs and the frame bent on him bc the frame was made for ifs and isn't strong enough. I dont know if you reinforced urs yet. But I highly recommend it.

Also after everything, how much did you spend for the sas? Including renting the welder and stuff. And how much time do you estimate you put into it??

**4x4Fink** · 03-13-2009, 12:26 PM

Hey man, just now got caught up on your build.
Great work, seriously - I wish I had the money, the time and the patience to do all that.

I really want to get a trail rig one of these days, until then, I'll just have to keep my Tacoma looking purty.

No i haven't reinforced it yet.. Maybe soon...
As for how much i spent on the sas.. it will vary depend on teh deals everyone gets.

I went with the 4" Tg sas kit which was $1000.. Then i had to purchase my axle, rebuild kits, and diff/locker/gears. Then i had to rent the welder for a week. Which was like $180..

I spent over $2,000 on it. And i still am not done with the rig..

(i just bought my own welder, and if you are going to sas yours i would just go ahead and buy one).. Renting one was the price of a 1/4-1/3 the cost of a welder anyways. It took a while for me to prep the axle, but once the axle was completely ready to go.. i got the ifs cut off and the sas under it in probably 2-3 days.. Now that was working with a sawzall and angle grinder, if you have a torch it would be quicker..

Good luck!
