I have six vehicles with Weber carbs in them with no issue with them. Jetting requires a little more thought because it’s all about 14 to 17:1 balance of air and fuel.

Weber 34/36 is a performer with an untarnished quality record.

Remember to use an electric choke too.

 

yup, when i build the new motor, i'm going to get an electric choke for my weber(not sure if i can?) or just sell it and get a 38 with an electric choke. the manual choke is a pain in the ass on cold days

 

Re-gearing would go a long way to turn 31's up the mountain passes. However it is not a cheap thing to have done since you have to do 2 differentials at roughly $550 each. Start with opening up the exhaust and intake. Its way cheaper and it really does help the performance.

You guys that are reccomending 15x8 wheels must like to spend money. The stock (cheap junkyard parts rule!) 15x6s will hold 10.5 wide tires or 15x7s will tolerate tires up to 11.5 wide just fine. If you are wanting 33x12.5s or wider you will need wider aftermarket wheels.

Enjoy your new truck!

 

If you add headers then the 38mm Weber carb will work great.
If not save a few bucks and use the 34/36.

Try the Ford Taurus electric fan to give a few ponies back to the wheels and keep your 20R engine working cooler. There are some great Yotatech ideas in the tech write ups.

I think you will be happy with your truck. In a way, I am envious.
Because keeping it simple means less things break down. And the less things in the engine bay means the more room to put new stuff in.

 

Wow, I didn't expect so much responses in such a short amount of time. Don't you boys have other things to do.

I currently have 235s on my truck. So it sounds like there will be some degradation in power if I were to go with 31" tires, but I think I can live with it. I'll have to be patient when I drive to Mammoth Mtn this winter for my annual ski trip and be happy that I have a 4x4 yota as one of my recreational vehicles. Like I said the main use is for off-roading and driving up to the local mountains to go skiing.

If I feel that I need more power, I know where to go to get information on different enhancements options that I can perform on my truck. Ooh, this could be fun (and expensive).

Thanks all!

This will probably be burried buy i felt clever thinking of it when you asked in the original post.

Unless the question is: what is not the answer? The answer will always be regear.

I would recomend a camper top, dc outlet heated blanket and air bed. Just sleep in the parkinglot durring ski season.. Then no matter how slow you are you only have to drive the trip once

 

Congrats on the new truck and welcome to Yotatech.

I had a 89 with the V6 that I put 175,000 miles on and the only reoccuring problem I had was the CV boots kept tearing. That was the best damn truck I ever had.
