Hind sight I would have bought a Tundra had I known the lack of aftermarket for the torsion bar T100. Don't get me wrong, I love this truck and they are extremely capable when built right. But in order to really upgrade the suspension options are limited and there has to be a lot of one offs and custom work where as the Tundra and Taco guys have lots of options for bolt-in suspension upgrades. However, so far I am enjoying the custom stuff.

Yea no kidding. Kinda wish i had started there too sometimes. But a LT 1st gen tundra is just too wide. But...awesome at the same time.

I can imagine finding front setup stuff is a PITA...

How about a Lexus V8 swap?

I have considered it as well. A 1uz or 3uz would be best. But after all the digging i did, you really can't do a V8 in a Tacoma without a 1'' Body lift at the minimum. I am not for that..So 2jz makes more sense. Even though....a V8 still is in my mind..just very far back.

Simplest route is sticking a turbo on the 3.4l. Its been done many times with success. There's no engine ECU sensor wiring to do, no a/c power steering/ cooling plumbing, or engine mounts. Just headers, turbo & intercooler, and fuel management of some sort. Run 7+psi (fuel delivery dependent) and still make respectable power, definitely more than enough for an overland rig.

Turbo is still a good option. And im still considering it as well. If a URD port fueler pops up ill be doing that for certain.

Mine is becoming more and more...a race truck then overland rig :p

URD still has one! For $1250 :Wow1: :eek:

It's been on close out for awhile. Must have became obsolete? I'd like to find out why they aren't making it any more. All I can think of is that for the supercharger the 7th injector kit is sufficient. And for turbo guys all you do is run larger injectors and a calibrator/ standalone and or water/meth injection. You seen clownmeat's build on toyota-4runner.org? He's running low boost without a FTC at all!

There are a few guys on TW running low boost with nothing as well.

The Port Fueler just wasn't used much i think. Sad. Because now turboing is easier to have done since CXracing introduced Turbo headers. Before it was all custom.

Few on TW have the port fueler too. It makes tuning stupid easy. Just have to tune the 6 extra injectors. Leave the stock system alone. Other then a bigger fuel pump.

What is a 4BT?

4 cylinder 3.9L Cummins diesel. Found in small vans and commercial vehicles. Very similar to the 5.9L 6 cylinder "12 valve" 6bt that was in Dodge pickups from 89-98 and in farm equipment before that... but with a shorter length. And it obviously makes less power.

It's blowing black smoke in the video because the guy doesn't have it tuned yet.

Sweet truck, really dig the contractor cap, I would love to find one used for my Dcab. I am going to try my hand at fabbing up one like the AluCab next year or so.
