    I guess there are not that many 1kz-te folks out there these days

    FS OR: 1kz-te diesel KZN-185 complete head 10k miles $700

    When I built my diesel Tacoma, I bought a head directly from AMC in Europe, since they were the known guaranteed no-cracking head and I wanted to be sure. When I got it in, I learned from the previous owner that the factory head on my engine had been just previously replaced with the one sold...

    Diving in Head First!

    I really love what you have done with this truck! What is the height inside the camper when popped?

    Beating a dead horse: questions about high(ish) end suspensions-3rd gen 4runner

    Tacoma guy here who has done the weld he mentioned. A small tack or two are placed on the slip joint in the steering column. There is apparently always slop there from the factory of varying levels. The tacks clean up the slop but will still break in a crash and allow the column to do its job...

    It'll all Berate, 1kz-te diesel Taco

    Thanks for the compliments. I certainly think it has potential, after a few more tweaks and doodads ;) The eventual goal is to ship it to Ecuador from LA, and cruise for a year so I really want to be to a point that I can trust it thoroughly. Anyone want to split a 40ft shipping container...

    Project "Snapping Turtle": 1KZ-TE into a 2nd Gen 4Runner

    Making those diesel noises while spinning the wheel is nearly as much fun as the real thing, right? My post isn't too in depth as I didn't want to bore anybody, but I have lots of pics of the custom fab bits if you are interested...

    NIce looking truck so far. Did you need to do the ECGS needle bearing swap? I thought that was only a 2nd gen and up issue?

    Project "Snapping Turtle": 1KZ-TE into a 2nd Gen 4Runner

    Hi Dave, Good to hear that there is still progess going on ;P Can't wait to see the solid axle done, I will be very jealous! I finally got off my *** and posted what I have done to my 1kz-te, and if you are still looking to intercool yours, maybe you will get a few ideas. I am planning to...

    It'll all Berate, 1kz-te diesel Taco

    HI all, I have been mostly sucking up info from this site for years, but not contributing much. Lazy I guess. Anyway, I have a bit of a weird truck that I thought I would share. It has been a headache from the very start, but it is fun and gets me where I want to go. I had always wanted a...

    On board air: Anyone running York or similar setup?

    I run a york and am a big fan. I removed my AC because I never used it anyway. My engine is different as its a diesel so the mounting was pretty convenient. I have tied the intake directly after my filter so that I have clean already filtered air going in. My wiring harness had a rear...

    Happy Accident

    Nice find! Are those Cooper ATP tires? If so, how do you like them? E or P rated?

    At that price, I think that I would be interested in one. The important thing for me though would be to be able to determine if it will fit my 2004 Tacoma fender profile well enough to not look horrible. Which vehicle and year range was this actually designed for? Also, do you know much about...

    Snorkie mounted up!

    For me, I am considering this on a 2004 Tacoma. Since I have a diesel swap, this would go through the fender right where my airbox would pull. Less bends, better flow. Could you PM me details about where to get one of these?

    Snorkie mounted up!

    Looks great! Can you tell me what model number that one is? Might work well for my project
