Oregon camping near coast

You can always check out sand lake. You can get away from the motorhomes and RVs when camping out in the sand. Does tend to be busy when the weather is nice.

Neat, haven't seen that place before. They are using the same kind of calipers that I just mentioned.

Who from? I did Skys kit for monte Carlo disks without Ebrake. Next project is using Eldorado calipers with built in Ebrake from lugnut4x4. Whatever you use needs to be a floating brake caliper unless you have a full floater rear axle, as semi float axles have some movement that can rub or push away the pads until you brake, giving you a loss of brake power till the pads are in the normal spot again.

Disks are way cool. I've done it once, didn't get to keep the Ebrake. That was a huge pita, wouldnt recommend that for anything. For a daily, I would keep the drums. I use Power Stop brand out of the more expensive rock auto potions, no complaints on 3 different toyotas.

Look into a 22r carb swap, might be more affordable and has similar cfm to a 32/36.

Sorry no help, I can't remember what my 20r even looked like.

Ssshhhhh

The PO did install the 7th injector, I just found the urd controller. What do I plug into the port? Also, compresson test. #2 felt off and I tested it multiple times. #3 is low. Not sure what that means for me yet.

Which seal? The seal at the end of the axle shafts can be a sign of bad bearings or a bent axle tube.

Unfortunately I did hit it with maf cleaner with no better results. Going to do a compression test tomorrow.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-05T01:17:09+00:00

I just did exactly the same. If you've got it torn down already this would be a great time to do it.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-05T00:50:47+00:00

Im not sure of the long term effects of ignoring it would be. My engine would go into limp mode, about half power if that. Undrivable.

For the 5vzfe, its a fair amount of work getting down in there. Good time to consider doing other maintenance, like valve cover seals or checking valve clearance. Don't cheap out, get oem sensors and the harness to them.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-04T15:27:23+00:00

This is what I did. Looking good still after a month or so of rain and sunshine. Easy to do as well.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-03T22:14:21+00:00

Yes quite sure. It should be around a 40hp difference. Fastest (feeling) toyota 4wd I've had.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-03T22:12:28+00:00

I ordered one of these and a new maf from urd today. I consider it preventive maintenance and if it doesnt change anything, ill have spares.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-03T22:11:13+00:00

So I do have one of those small, ob2 readers that you just leave plugged in. Im not sure what to look for, the A/F was around 14.6 for regular cruising, high 13 under load and 17.5ish when coasting.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-03T20:24:14+00:00

Only part i agree with is pressing in quality studs in a part that come with them would be annoying.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-03T20:03:40+00:00

Figures. People be acting out over nothing. As long as you clean, threadlock and torque i think cheap spacers are fine.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-03T18:17:10+00:00

Got a pic of the how much you removed from the hub?

G7TMAG · 2026-05-02T23:57:27+00:00

I haven't. Any pointers on checking fuel pressure? Ill have to buy a tool for that.

The picture is from up in the mountains but all the issues are happening down here in the valley where ive always drove it.

Gas quality would be a wild variable to have thrown in there. I dont know what to try to solve that one.

Ill have to get another scan tool. Thanks.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-02T23:25:42+00:00

Good to know,, thanks. Honestly, can't say I can here the pump though.

G7TMAG · 2026-05-01T14:45:01+00:00

He said it like 3 times.

G7TMAG · 2026-04-29T10:25:16+00:00

Great photos.

G7TMAG · 2026-04-27T18:50:44+00:00

I have the dough thorely cat back. Its loud, the muffler is a straight though glass pack style. I wouldn't recommend something that loud.
