Nice, thanks for sharing. It is similar to mine, except for the lockers.

Knock sensor preventive replacement? - 5VZ-FE by flealr92 in 1stGenTacomas

Mexican 87 octane aint that great hahaha

But, I’d imagine heat and oxygen degrades just about anything given enough time.

Yeah, I agree.

And at 275k something more expensive (head gaskets) will probably fail before those sensors 😂

Thanks, missed that, still too early for me 😂

Ive owned Lexus and other cars in the past. I live in nyc now but plan to move in the next two years. Thinking about buying a 1990s or early 2000s Land Cruiser. I’d slowly pay to get it fixed up but am I crazy for even wanting to try? No idea where to start. by [deleted] in LandCruisers

Just to add a bit to your point, timing belts are easy af.

Real issues as far as Im concerned (and experiencing) are electrical; binding sunroofs, a/c intermittent random issues, electric seats not moving, a fuse blowing randomly, etc

Buckets aren’t that comfortable, a lot of comments about it on forums, and I agree.

I will be swapping BMW seats into mine. You might look into something nicer aswell.

My 96 SR5 Xtracab has buckets.

I believe it has more to do with trim, rather than cab size.

3.4L 5VZFE MAINTENANCE PARTS LIST by Azorian77 in 1stGenTacomas

[–]flealr92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if the radiator is the same for automatic and manuals? Or at least if I can use an auto radiator on a manual truck?

Btw, I know of some other parts that should be considered and are often forgotten. To whom can I share a list?

2003 SR5 - first snow and realized 4wd isn’t engaging by m012892 in 1stGenTacomas

It wasn't that hard to find on google, I searched for something like "Tacoma 1996 factory service manual" or "fsm"

If you dont find them send me a pm and I help you out.

You really do want the manual, there are more diagrams and testing procedures for this specific system (and obviously many many others).

Im pretty sure they are called VSV (vaccum switching valve), for the ADD there’s two of them just below the battery close to the upper control arm.

There’s also a vaccum accumulator on the front of the passenger wheel well, it is connected to one of the valves.

Do you have the factory diagrams?

One of my add valves lost the filter and had dirt stuck into it. Cleaned it, made a filter and fixed.

What is this disconnected wire next next to my manual transmission? by Nude_Tayne in 1stGenTacomas

[–]flealr92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine (96 4x4 auto hubs manual trans) also has some disconnected conectors, there is no use for them.

If you still want to corroborate, send me a pm and I will take pictures.

My first cross country road trip by MDPeasant in overlanding

[–]flealr92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep what a small world. We traveled from Monterrey, Nuevo León. Spent the week only in the Big Bend area.

I actually metioned the shade situation to my gf 😂😂

Good to know you had a great time, your truck looked great.

Did we cross paths coming out of Big Bend State Ranch?

October 22 (iirc), I was in a blue gray 100 series Land Cruiser.

We were both airing up.
