I got the truck idling and running well with the hoses as shown in the diagram above.
Brakes were not affected by the pcv being teed in.
Loss of power at 60mph corrected from stock carb.
Backfiring corrected from stock carb.

I am going to keep researching what emissions components I can get to function in the way they were attended using the weber carb, how I can make it look like the non functional emissions components are hooked up correctly. I will also check with Colorado emissions laws to see if I am spinning my wheels with the emissions stuff.

I will also go ahead and add a nipple on the intake manifold to eliminate the tee, just in case.

I hit up left hand canyon on Sunday. Had a blast. Ran left hand main, upper carnage and fireman hill.
Truck ran great. Died a few times on inclines so I changed the fuel pressure to 1psi and didn't have any problems after that. My max speed is somewhere around 80 on the speedo which translates to about 70mph actual.

I really didn't get the best pics or video but here is what I got:

Lefthand on Sunday? Did you happen to see my buddy and his 4runner up there? He rolled haha

csuviper

Possibly. White runner? Was he with a guy in an 84 pickup with exterior cage?
The guy in the 84 gave me his card for DreadNeck Fabrication. Is that them?
Passed another group with a runner or two as well.

Z's Confederate Toy

No he was in a charcoal color runner with Yota Yard ib yellow on the side. He was with a guy in a purpleish T100

csuviper

Didn't see them. Is he one of the guys that works at Yota Yard. Looks familiar from your pics.

Z's Confederate Toy

Yeah, his mom owns the place. That would be him. He did the Chinamans run with us last month

I am going the route of installing some 07 Tacoma rear is 55.5" long leafs in the rear and RUF for the front.
I think I have the plan for now but not sure if I can execute it in time for the next planned camping trip in a couple weeks. I am in need of a welder and someone to weld. I don't trust my welds at all. Plus I need to order the parts quick to get them in time to install.

For the rear the plan is to use my old 07 Tacoma rear leafs. Starting with just the two long ones and will add leafs as needed. The stock rear is 48" long (20.5/27.5) and the 07 Tacoma rear is 55.5 (27.375/28.5). I will cut off the old spring hanger to the front and weld on new ones ~6 7/8" forward. I will leave the rear ones stock.
The truck already has 6.25" long shackles eye-to-eye on the rear of the rear spring. Currently these are sitting nearly straight up and down so the added 1" to the rear will help put them at a better angle. The current setup is roughly a 6" lift from stock and I hope to reduce the height slightly to somewhere around 5" lift from stock.
Current shocks and locations will remain the same.
*Future plans: U-bold flips, center mount shock bar, weld on shock mounts to axle and get the correct length shocks.

Stock front is 45" long (22.5/22.5). Rear up font is 48" long (20.5/27.5). I am going to keep the stock front hanger for now (will weld on beefier ones later). The truck already has 6.5" long shackles eye-to-eye on the rear of the front spring. I will keep this location as well. Currently the shackles are sitting nearly straight up and down so the added length will will help put them at a better angle as well as move the axle forward 2". My only worry here would be that the added 5" to the rear will sit the shackle down to the point of hitting the frame. That's when the front hanger would definitely be needed. Again the current setup is roughly a 6" lift from stock and I hope to reduce the height slightly to somewhere around 5" lift from stock.
The truck already has high steer kit. The truck is an 84 with solid front axle already so steering box should be ok. A flat pitman arm would be nice.
Probably need a longer driveshaft. I was hoping that lowering the truck a touch would give me enough to keep the stock one. If one is definitely needed then I will have to wait on all of this till later.
Installing some u-bold flips to the front. Current shocks and locations will remain the same.
*Future plans: Shock hoops, correct length shocks, front hanger, flat pitman, drive shaft.

Addicted Off-road talked me out of the 07 springs in the rear unless I get them re-arched and then they still might now work the best. He said either to go with Ford F150's in the rear or get the trail gear rear lift kit.
TG rear lift kits are designed to match our front IFS Eliminator kits and classic lift kits. For 4Runners we recommend using a rear kit with springs that are the same size as the front springs.
Kits feature long travel springs and shocks for super flexibility on the trail.

The Classic rear lift kits are supplied for use on 1979-1988 Trucks and for coil to leaf swaps on 90-95 4Runners.

Kit Includes:

56" Long Rear Leaf Springs
Welded Rear Spring Hangers
Rear Shackle Mounts
Greasable Rear 5" Shackles
12" Bilstein Shocks
Shock Mounts
U-Bolt Flip Kit
Extended Brake Line
Spring Perches
Greasable Spring Bolts & Bushings
Instructions

Classic Rear Lift Kit, 3" Springs, 79-88, 110033-1-KIT, $734





For the front they said to save on cost the rears up front ok and will give you the travel needed. Their front hanger kit will make it easy to transform.

Hanger kit allows of hanging of leaf springs on 1986-1995 Toyota Pickups and 4Runners. Kit designed to work with many 3" - 6" lift aftermarket springs.

Frame jigs make it easy to place shackle tubes in your frame. To install, place jigs on frame under the cab body mount. Mark the frame, and cut frame tube holes with torch. Slide tubes in place and weld in. Clamp front hanger in place and weld. Bolt on springs with included bushings and shackles.
Kit contains:
Front offset hanger w/ gussets
Greasable shackles

EEEEk, this 4wd-lifestyle get's pricey, doesn't it? lol....

Glad you got some good info... Scotty and his peeps build some SICK stuff, BIG TIME!

I keep hearing I should do that F150 leaf swap on mine... But I'm just slightly lifted... hmmm.

Best wishes with it all, man!

csuviper

Thanks. I cant do the lift before the next run so I might have to wait till this winter.
Not sure if I want to put that much into this truck. Might just go the cheep F150 leaf springs with new mounts and be done with it.

Yeah, I hear ya... I get mixed input on that... MOSTLY good, but some 'Meh, that's stupid, get an OME lift(I know, not enough for your application).... But still, most say the F150 Springs flex quite well and have a nice soft ride... THAT peaks my interests, cuz I'm needing to soften it up a lil back there! lol. Why not go a lil cheaper, man? I mean, you could always feel that out for a while and then you're not out nearly a 1000$ bill! lol. That's "Keeper" money... and if you're saying, "Not sure I wanna put that much into it".... Then it's not a "100% Keeper, TRY to take it from me" type rig, right? hahaha. Then, later on, you COULD do the pricey TG kit if you wanted it(and people DO sell that stuff used on occasion, too, ya know?)

csuviper

Decided to sell the beast. Kinda sad but had to let it go.

westjohns yota

Man.... LOTS of that, lately... Sorry to hear, Viper... Hope all is well, otherwise!

Taco's still rollin strong?

csuviper

Thanks for the compliments.
Did not get $4k out of it. I sold it to the friend that helped me out alot with the engine rebuild a couple years back. He put alot of free time into it anyway. The price was fair for the both of us.

csuviper

All is good. Started the family and don't have the time I wish I had.

Yea the Taco is still running strong. Love it. Would cry if I had to let it go. I have several options for the future though. One includes a tundra and another includes an FJ40. Not really sure what I really want to do. Mall crawler or 4-5 yr project? Only time will tell because I need to put this money away for now.

csuviper

My friend that bought the crawler took it out with me in my 2007 Tacoma last weekend. Had some fun in the snow and mud.
