The straps are just looped around the tailgate- I think that's a pretty common setup when you don't have a spare on the back. I love that thing- perfect beer can receptacle and I pull it of to hit the river for the rest of our trash on multi day trips.
My truck's an '89 that came with a 3.0 which blew up and I swapped a 3.4 into it a few years ago. So, not a hot rod but it's leaps and bounds better than how it came.
Fair enough! I feel like I remember even the first gens going for more like $2200 but obviously that's not the norm. I'm in...
He's asking $1600 and I think there's a little wiggle room- it's a first gen with 20k on it supposedly. I'm on the fence, if anyone on here is really interested I can get you the contact info.
Thanks for the input guys! Starting to sound like the "cheap s/c setup" starts to stray from the "cheap" part in a hurry when you start shopping for the 7th injector setups to compliment it...
Hell yeah- much love for the e30! I've had a handful. This one is mostly rallyx and winter beater duty but still goes mountain biking and camping fairly regularly. It's too bad they're falling prey to the same pricing/demand shenanigans as the older Toyota trucks. Years ago you could find...
Yeah I was always kind of surprised that you could run boost through one of these with zero management or fuel upgrades. I do live at 8000 feet which would negate some of the lean fueling issues (at least driving around here), but I would prefer to run it on the safe side.
So would you guys...
Anyone on here running the TRD blower on their 3.4?
A raging deal just popped up on one locally and I'm casually considering it. I don't really need the extra power, but....
Any downsides? I don't really care about running 91. Wouldn't be interested in a smaller pulley, 7th injector, any...
Yeah, 4.88s are just about perfect. I did them when I still had the 3.0 and they pretty much necessary at that point. With the 3.4 you could probably get away with 4.10s and not feel horribly gutless but not ideal. I stumbled into my 4.88s for a raging deal years ago and just couldn't pass it...
That one actually seems reasonably priced- although I probably wouldn't have thought so 5 years ago. Anything not horribly beat on with under 200k is liable to pull 6k+ it seems. The 4runner I referenced earlier had like 280k miles on it and sold in 3 or 4 hours after listing. Crazy.
Man no kidding. It's stupid what these trucks are starting to be worth these days. I got my current one for free, and my previous '94 4runner was $1400. I sold that runner for $3k a bunch of years ago and was kind of shocked. I get weird offers for my white truck all the time. If it...
Get that OBD port hooked up pronto so you can keep an eye on the temps. I remember having a bit a of a fiasco getting my 3.4 bled properly for a while after my swap- I can't remember exactly what hoops I had to jump through but if finally worked itself out.
Man I miss my '87- I would sure...
I love those things! A couple friends still have hardbody pickups that are going and going and going. I always felt like those Nissans were the lower cost equivalent of the typical Toyota pickup/4runner options.
I went through this same process with my truck a few years ago as it lacked a receiver and the bumper was this horrible cobbled together thing- it had a receiver built in but I hardly trusted it with anything significant.
I finally gave up on buying a legitimate reciever (i.e. one that isn't...
No problem, I tow my fully loaded raft trailer with my '89 pickup on a semi daily basis in the summer. I had a 14' camper for a brief moment also that towed fairly well, but was definitely on the upper end of what felt comfortable. It was probably 3000 lbs or so, but maybe more- I don't...
Awesome, do let me know how that turns out! Seems sort of hit and miss for the GX people going through that programming procedure, but sure worth a try. Either way, if it doesn't work at least at that point I would have a new cut key with electronic hardware that the dealer can then...
Just picked up an '03 GX to replace my wife's aging BMW X5 and would like to sort out a couple things before we pick it up this weekend. The owner only has a single master key, and I am hyper paranoid about having spares stashed all over. Have any of you guys had to deal with coming up with...
Thought so! A bunch of my family are old school Jackson Hole people so that zone is my old stomping ground. We lived in Driggs for a couple years until it was time for a slightly milder winter and the sunny CO days that I'm so accustomed too. I still have a soft spot for SE Idaho though, I...
