It's a 1994 Xtra Cab DLX V6 auto trans with 170k miles. Took this over from my dad last year after it developed a bad headgasket. He was the 2nd owner since 1995.

Tore the motor apart, put it back together.
New timing belt, water pump, idler pulleys.
Cleaned injectors, replaced gaskets, replaced knock sensor and pigtail.
Got rid of the damn crossover and made my own downpipe setup.

Did a bixenon HID retrofit using Morimoto D2S components. I couldn't live with the stockers or even H4 conversion. This is my 2nd retrofit. My first was done on a 2007 Honda Civic coupe with TSX projectors.

Installed Aisin manual locking hubs.

Wheels on there now are 15x8 -19 offset with 31x10.5r15 Falken Rocky Mountain ATS. Tomorrow I will be mounting up a set of Tacoma optional Enkei 15s with 31" Cooper Discoverer AT3.

 

 

I'm not seeing any of your pictures.. Your enkei wheel set up sounds neat, though

 

My half assed fix for the damn crossover.



Excuse my sloppy welds



Some pics from the tear down last winter



Freshly cleaned heads!







It's alive again!

 

New wheels and tires on.

 

Truck looks good, that engine bay is wicked clean!

 

Thanks! I had a 5mge afm swap a while back, but couldn't quite get it tuned right so I pulled it off. I think I may try to tackle it again.

 

i also own a 94 yota pickup and am looking to lift it 3" or so. any kits that you like or any problems i may run into? i like your american racing rims from the first pic. nice work on the truck though. it looks clean

 

Thanks!

I'm not too familiar with lifts. I have read up on them, but decided against it because I plan on sticking with 31s.

 

7mge AFM re-installed for a little more pep.



A closer up of my new wheel/tire combo. Love these Coopers by the way. Can't wait to take them up into the mountain snow next month.

 

A couple pictures from the xmas tree run earlier today. The little yota was accompanied by a trio of Ford diesels and a V10 Ram. These Cooper Discoverer AT3s were awesome on the snow/ice covered forest service road. Never once did I feel like I was going to get stuck.

 

Shoot, this truck is CLEAN!

Gotta ask, though, why the switch to the Enkei's..

 

Those other wheels have been on for nearly 20 years and I wanted a little change to something not as common. I'm a wheel whore with my STi though. 6 sets of wheels in 3 years, lol. But thanks, I try to keep it simple and clean.

 

How did the tires hold up?

 

Really liked this truck.. Blue 3rd gen pickups are my favorite Toyotas!

 

The Cooper AT3 are great tires! Never once did it feel squirrely up in the mountains. Great all around tires although I don't do any rock crawling.

I've since added a Curt hitch to replace the bumper ball and have been towing this little guy around all summer.



I still need to mess around with the 7mge AFM. Sometimes when the car is warmed up it'll surge at idle and die out. I've got the AFM set at 3-5 clicks lean, AFM bypass screw untouched, timing at 12-15 degrees.

I also have an oil pan leak that I really need to take care of.
