Great vid. It's so helpful watching you go through the process of diagnosing and fixing problems. I am currently getting to the end of restoring my 1990 extended cab 4x4 3VZE which I bought new 30 years ago. Once I got all her bodywork finished into black epoxy primer I liked the color so much I just clear coated right over it. Looks great. I look forward to following this build. cheers
The ultimate hunting truck... trick, suspension, Raptor paint [two tone old school], bed that will haul an ATV and your game... just be creative.. different... the ultimate hunting truck... snow, mud, ... able to tow a small trailer... jon boat on top... auxiliary lights... totally different than anything that is on the road...
I am doing a 93 , standard cab 4x4....I plan to use csrc paints for a desert cammo look myself...22re with lce stroker crank. 35# flywheel and stage 3 clutch. Fullnlce longtube header exhaust....can't wait to run and drive this thing! a lot of interior upgrades from junkyard trips, including bucket seats and a new instrument panel from 4Runners....
LOL yer right the way you work this thing will be ready for a car show when done! I don’t know if you like 4x4in but a nice trail set up would be cool! Leave the tub but shorten it by 12”or so, then fab some cool pipe work like a crawler but more road oriented. Paint could be a tribute to your other ute, tinted red raptor liner, I don’t know if that’s recommended but mmmeeerr Anyway if you stick with Toyotas and Hilux’s everything will be ok!!
This truck is the epitome of buying another man's problems, but you jumped right in and got it pretty much right in short order. Looking forward to this one. I'm looking for a used Tacoma 4x4, but I might have had to pass that one by. That's a bit more than I would want to bite off, but your skill set is much further along than mine, so I'm looking forward to learning a lot on this build.
3.4 engine probally the best one they made. I had 95 t100 with it and now i have a 01 tundra 5 speed with that engine. 315,000 miles , not one problem with the engine. i did replace plugs 2 times and all 3 coils and wires. and an alternator ( at 300,000) ,original clutch. it should be sick in that smaller pickup. looking forward to your build !
Had the same issue with fuel on my 98 xj when I bought it. My dad ended up jumping a wire from the ECM to the injector that was stuck open and boom problem solved. interested to watch this
I'll be the odd man out and say you should engine swap the engine swapped truck. My vote would be for a common junkyard LS based engine. A home brewed SAS would be cool as well.
I like the new project! I had to cut and bend that same throttle cable holder on my 3.4 swap, I'm also running mine with the evap Box and the rear O2 sensor, I think it needs it! I also designed and built a prototype Eaton M90 supercharger from a grand prix gtp to adapt to that engine, that could be a good cheap upgrade! let me know!
Don’t do carpet and leave the bed on it. You could always do a flat style paint on it. Build it like a hunting/daily work rig. Way cool rig. Had no idea 3.4 swap had to have a body lift which in not a fan of at all. Hopefully you leave it the 3.4 and if it had the crossover exhaust behind the engine do a crossover delete.
Never messed with the 5vz but maybe a maf is bad? also to me the fan clutch seems locked, sounds like how Id think it would be if the truck is up to temperature. Looking forward to this project!
Diesel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes a Taco unique and not cookie cutter like the rest. Ya, with your talent, this taco will be a show winner when finished but, it will be a V6 taco............., where as a factory looking diesel makes it so unique that only a handful of people have but every Taco fan wants to have. Cool video and project looking forward to see your madness on this 1.
Just subscribed. Maybe check the 'new' injectors that were put in? Could be over fueling or a stuck open injector. I think keep the 3.4, SAS it, lockers, decent lift, keep the bed (maybe bob it later), black wheels, desert tan bedliner? and have a great trail rig that you can get dirty often and put to work. Your red truck is just so damn nice!
Austin, Toyota cement grey is popular in TX. Also, center console from similar year Runner w/out rear AC, bolts right into floor. I’m running the bucket seats, console, power windows and armrests out of a Runner as an upgrade for my ‘94 PU. It’s almost an SR5. Lol.
I’m 16 and just baught a 91 hilux (Australian pickup) and I’m rebuilding the engine (3L diesel) with a turbo kit and I’m also re spraying it as there isn’t a straight panel on it good way to learn
Dont need the purg valve stuff. Get rear 02 sensor working forsure and check maf make sure it working. Also I bet plugs are fouled due to over fueling I bet plugs fix it up near 100%
will you be trying the doomsday diesel adapter plate this time for a diesel? A trick i have used for years on white paint is Bleachwhite whitewall tire cleaner. rinse it spray a bit then scrub as usual, this method pulls alot of the dead pigment out and the stains from the paint as well. awesome cleaner from the dollar store does well under the hood as well... did he swap the ecm ssems like he shorted it or did a voltage spike????? oh that will polish the rings being that rich. but 180 is nice and even./ nope run it till it defouls the plugs or at least clean em ... the cat will be gacked out as well from all the fuel in it... . on the idle my 3.0 has a issue with the IIC holding it a bit, to test tap the throttle body with something to see if the idle changes.. I think i need to wait on my comments till the end as well your on top of it all. no paint just raptor the body but 2 gal at least an 3 to be safe an the extra will be for the next project. an i think you can use the tint able raptor an add 80ml of paint and color it any color you want.
bro keep the truck as is. the 3.4L motor is actually very nice. good bush beater. you put so much into the tdi truck it would be nice to have a beater truck.
@@austinniemela yeah just beat on this truck and enjoy it. A tdi swap seems like too much of an headache after looking at your build. I'm sure after you put all that effort into that truck you don't want to beat on it.
Ummm, I think it would still be cool to do the diesel swap... but if not yank that motor and rebuild.... or try stuffing the 4. 7 V8 ... that would be cool... if you keep the bed think trail buggy... otherwise build another just change it up some.... your truck..your budget... go for it... if the cab is tweaked... maybe a scrap yard find of a newer model.... Raptor liner I think has a version the actually looks smooth... but either way it's a great choice... any color that is different from everyone else... play with the idea of a two tone...
hmm my 3.4 swap isnt body lifted or have a hood scoop. but this build is sick! you saved it :D Its gonna need the tacoma evap box, i love the 3.4 if you are going to offroad it i would get a factory airbox aswelll i lost a 3.4 due to a open air filter :(
DO A LONG TRAVEL BUILD!!!! A budget kit could be the blazeland kit. Or DIY the long travel A arms! I think if you stuck with torsion bars you could build the whole truck for like 5k. That's including Tires and home built bumpers!
Need to use a code reader that displays live data. Sometimes the computer won’t throw a code but a sensor is clearly displaying false data. My old 98 3.4 would idle high randomly and never threw a code. But when I hooked up to it with live data. You could watch them coolant temp go from 180 to 0 and it would instantly run crappy.
Last time I had a random misfire code, it was the fuel pressure regulator valve. Pulled the vacuum hose off of the valve and fuel dropped out. Swapped it and was good to go. Took me forever to figure it out.
i think you should paint it not raptor liner cause it will look way better and for color i think you should keep it white or paint it a nice lightish grey
canuckguy worried well where should I start ? O I has the body lift already!!! Cheap good power and it’s a V8 !!! Cam it valve springs and send it boost it if he wants to make good power for a reasonable price !!
canuckguy worried no you asked !! I know nothing about you or care that your 63 ... I have the same truck that I am doing a ls swap on and they are very few of them in that body style that have been done that wasn’t backed up and shit on with the install
Id make it a cleanish woods rigs maybe a color raptor liner paint job and some basic offroad parts like bumpers sliders and maybe a e locker outback from a 4runner
I'm liking this build already. Raptor line it in gunmetal grey and maybe ask your daughter her fovorite color and pin strip it . ( I'm guessing it will be pink) lol. Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE!👍🇦🇺🍺🍺🇦🇺👍
Hey Austin could you possibly make a video of how to remove the body lift in the future . That’s if you decide to remove it. I bought a 94 pickup with a 3in body lift and want to remove it
Hell yeah cant what to see how Adventure goes . If you’re going to raptor line the it do it in white or I have seen people bed line truck fully and then put regular Color paint of your choice I’ve the bedliner
Since this truck has a bit of a beater body, you could use it as a opportunity to practice new things, like metal body modifications, or plastic/fiberglass interior mods. No overall theme, just trying new things.
I really like your channel !! I would like to know if a 4.0 swap is doable in the 90s model, I have 3 of them with the 3.0 head gasket blowers in them . I’d like to swap them .
I'm so excited for this new build I have a 92 sr5 on 4in lift 33in bfg km2 of coarse I have the 3.0 with a blown head gasket pretty common I'm getting motivated to work on my toyota from you . Definitely wanna not put more miles on my 2017 tacoma

When you went into the field I could feel that cushy Toyota ride !
This is going to be a great build!!
Minimum 10 minutes for the ECU to display codes. You are 100% correct on how important the coolant temp sensor is to how the engine runs.
The 5vz-fe is a good motor (well at least here in Australia), they go hard.
Dude build what you want. Don't listen to the "build something budget" people. It is your channel.
Good diagnostic work. Fun project. You'll end up rebuilding the truck.
Had the 5vz-fe in my 98 4runner in Canada, the thing started first turn in -30C every time haha. Loved it
Speaking from aus would love to see a low budget pre runner nothing wild just something fun.
15:53 "Some people should just not work on cars." Amen brother.
LOL yer right the way you work this thing will be ready for a car show when done!
I don’t know if you like 4x4in but a nice trail set up would be cool!

Glad to see the new truck build. Curious about Rhino lining the outside. If it works out we may do that on the wife’s ‘95 Wrangler.
Hell Yeah!!! A hunting / expedition / shtf bug-out rig! Because this is 2020 and the shit has hit the fan, man!

vwfez thanks! I’ve always wanted to build a truck with this engine! Would be sweet with a blower 🤘
@@austinniemela ya i had a 72 fj 40. Allways wanted to swap a 3.4litet into one.
@@austinniemela i love my 01 tundra. When she goes i want to do a custom build and make my own truck based on a 1st gen tundra.
Had the same issue with fuel on my 98 xj when I bought it. My dad ended up jumping a wire from the ECM to the injector that was stuck open and boom problem solved. interested to watch this
You dont need the body lift. Will clear the 3.4 easy with hood bracing trim, or 1.5 body ljft. 3" is massive 😅
Dirt Garage I may drop it down a bit
I have a 92 Toyota 3.4 swap with 3 inch body
AWESOME !!! Really looking forward to seeing what you do with it !

Loved watching this video. It’s great to watch someone work through problems logically and intelligently. Great work.
Thanks!!
Excited for the build!! U should do a mild build..3" lift on 33s...paint it white again..!!👍👍✌
This is awesome. I’m in the middle of one of these swaps myself.

You only have to do a 1in Body lift to get it under there or clearance the hood an inch... The 3in body lift is too much.
Subscribed. Last project turned out badass! Excited to see how this rig turns out🤙🏼
Digging the 650sx sitting next to the tractor! You should do a jet ski build sometime!
Thanks!
Cummins 4bt , U-pol raptor liner ,
Every first gen Tacoma guy need this guy in their life..how sweet would it be to go buy 1 or 17 of this guy at a parts store...
Good call on the new ECU, I have never seen one fail either, but it's always a possibility ☮️
Never messed with the 5vz but maybe a maf is bad? also to me the fan clutch seems locked, sounds like how Id think it would be if the truck is up to temperature. Looking forward to this project!

william anderson thanks!!
Stoked for this next build!!
hey so make sure all the vac lines are routed correctly, on mine one of them were wrong and it was sucking oil and gas into the intake manifold
I poured out over 10oz of gas n oil from the intake manifold
I’m 16 and just baught a 91 hilux (Australian pickup) and I’m rebuilding the engine (3L diesel) with a turbo kit and I’m also re spraying it as there isn’t a straight panel on it good way to learn
Hay buddy best ute ever I bought one brand new in 1989 and I still got it,
Is yours an extra cab or duel cab!!
Dont need the purg valve stuff.
Get rear 02 sensor working forsure and check maf make sure it working. Also I bet plugs are fouled due to over fueling I bet plugs fix it up near 100%
Also those cheap intakes can leak after the maf you don't want that false air entering

S.A.S it but for the majority keep it stock
its already solid axle

i had 1 looked just like that sold it about 3 yrs ago and it was like it was right off the show room floor nice truck if there taken care of
Evloftis yes they are!! That’s awesome👍
Hell yeah. Can't wait to watch the build!
Dude you find the best trucks I want a clean 90s taco like that
I have a truck, money, time and tools, but i have no place to work on it. Channels like this one are inspiring. Keep up the good work pal!

Be cool to see it get full width axles. Seems pretty solid truck tho
Austin you could look into the diesel v6 from volkswagen man! Is the one i used to swap my hilux.
please a video of the car
What vacuum diagram did you use? I’m doing this same swap from 3.0 to 3.4
Just googled around and found some pictures
Great new build
if everyone wants a budget build then thats great - no reason why you cant still make it a beautiful finish
PLEASE SWAP A MERCEDES OM606 ENGINE IN IT !
Would be expensive but it would make really good power with just a pump and a turbo. he could most likely just send it without even touching the motor
Need to use a code reader that displays live data. Sometimes the computer won’t throw a code but a sensor is clearly displaying false data.

Standard Toyota runnin rich af
Put a trd supercharger
Id love to!!
Very nice! And good to see you responding to the comments!
Always!
Id make it a cleanish woods rigs maybe a color raptor liner paint job and some basic offroad parts like bumpers sliders and maybe a e locker outback from a 4runner
Future project idea, OM617 or TDI with mechanical pump. Less power but no electronic headache. 4BT is to heavy and it’s hard to find one reasonable.
Lol I’ve tried requesting a new build
OM606 FJ40
Awesome motors
Did you know FJ40 made in Brazil had Mercedes diesel engines fitted as stock
What transmission is being run? And do you know if Toyota has a compatible 6 speed manual transmission?
R150F
Love IT! I GOT the same 90 mod
Great project looking forward to it
How about a AVR wrap ?
That would be cool!!
Love ya work brother, give it the love it need.
I'm liking this build already.
Raptor line it in gunmetal grey and maybe ask your daughter her fovorite color and pin strip it . ( I'm guessing it will be pink) lol.
Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE!👍🇦🇺🍺🍺🇦🇺👍
Would like to see a straight axle swap in the future
Interior roll cage. Bed liner for the paint.
Hey Austin could you possibly make a video of how to remove the body lift in the future . That’s if you decide to remove it. I bought a 94 pickup with a 3in body lift and want to remove it
Rudy Rico unbolt it and replace with factory length bolts!
Hell yeah cant what to see how Adventure goes . If you’re going to raptor line the it do it in white or I have seen people bed line truck fully and then put regular Color paint of your choice I’ve the bedliner
Do a Sandy taupe color for raptor liner will look sick 👌
Evergreen pearl would look good
looking forward to this project
Awesome new Tacoma! Can't wait to see what you do! Iam a big Tacoma fan ! I have a 2017 n 2008
That’s not a Tacoma that’s a Toyota Pickup they are different

YES!!! Can't wait!! 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥😁👊🏻
love the videos which motor you like better? the TDI or the 3.4L?
Man hard question, i might have to say TDI. Better mileage, more fun, better power
make it into a nice rock crawler
Hey Austin, you should get a 2nd gen 12 valve cummins next
keep the 3.4 and rear mount turbo 😄
Good video bro 🤙🏽

Catching up on old vids.
Way back when!!
2jz swap would be sickkkk
Garrett 177 yeah it would be!
If you use the older charcoal canister, do in-depth Video plz. I would like to use mine because it looks factory
Check todays video!
