Living the dream. Cramming a big motor into a small truck
While you have the engine out of the Tacoma you should pull the bolts that hold the steering rack in and run them up from the bottom. It will make a future rack swap way easier.
Thanks for the tip...will do
No need for a rear sump pan for this swap. Pretty sure the 4th Gen 4Runner oil pan will bolt right up like factory and will clear all your components since that tacoma and the 4th Gen 4Runner share the same design for front suspension/frame. It literally should just drop right in.
Came here to say that. Along with a lot of other parts.
GX470 should work too since they are built on essentially the same chassis as the 4runner
I looked at one of those of Ebay...was worried that it wouldn't fit with this combo...but good to hear it would...honestly same price as the rear sump
I agree it should be a simple swap as it’s the same frame as the 4th Gen 4Runner
I remember Toyota had a 4.7 taco at a SEMA show back before the second gen release I think so when you say “it’s almost like it’s meant to be” is probably because it was. Sucks they never did the production model of it. They put it in the 4th gen 4Runners which were awesome to drive.
In my Camry when I did the 5speed swap I was able to just wire three resistors into the auto harness to ground, one for each shift solenoid, it cost about 5 bucks for all of them, and kept the car out of limp mode
I absolutely love that truck. Looking forward to seeing the completed swap.
You and me both!
@@BigTireGarage so get to it.
We need to see this thing moving by end of week!😂
Hopefully before you install engine, you pull the intake and replace the starter. Trust me, it’s easier with engine out of truck than it will be with it installed…. Great build, can’t wait to see it finished.
Planning on it
@@BigTireGarage You don't necessarily need to replace the starter just rebuild the OEM one with new contacts.
Just finishing a 2UZ/auto swap on my Yota buggy ..after driving it a few times wow its alot more fun than the 22r..pulled it from a Lx470 and had the lexus v8 guys in Florida do a standalone harness..enjoy your videos with good info!
I own a second-gen Tacoma and also an 84 with a supercharged 1UZ I am installing. I have a physical version of the oil pan you need if you need dimensions. I work for Toyota so if you have any questions on wiring or any other details feel free. I am a fellow Canuck too!
Sweet swap! Really cool its going together so well
Back in the 80s. Mini truck club days. I remember guys dropping in Chevy 350s rather easily into Toyotas. I never did.
My 4 banger with a 5 speed manual use to boogy on down.
My 59 year old brain keeps thinking I’d like to get into this Outback simpler overlanding fun. Seems the mini truck craze is still going strong.
The mini truck days were really big in the 90s as well and I know this because if I wasn't at the drag strip drag racing with family and friends I was looking for a car show to go to and I was a hang around for a low rider car club and my cousin and her husband had an early 90s S10 that he put a solid fiberglass camper shell on the bed and made his S10 truck basically into a Blazer because he added a second row bench seat to hold 3 more passengers in the back and behind that he had a wall with 6 12in subwoofers and a bunch of mids and highs everywhere but I'm his car club they had over 30 members and probably around half of the vehicles involved in the car club were either mini trucks or full size trucks and the rest were cars ranging from Honda's to old school Ford Thunderbird I remember which was one of my favorites in the club just because it was old school
@@keefespencer1173 The club I was in was all minis “SoCal Minis”. Most of our runs were with other mini clubs. The only other clubs that come to mind is SunSet Minis and Bonzai Minis.
Once in a while we’d have meets with van clubs. The only names I can remember are Night Lights and Bon Ton vans. Good times.
Volleyball, softball and football between clubs.
I was wondering where you went Ian. Missed your shows with Jesse back in the day. Although I'm more of a car guy than a truck guy, anybody who can fabricate something to make a square peg fit in a round hole is just what I like....
Need that 4.7 in my third gen Tacoma
I've always wondered how a build like this one and a full Titan swapped Frontier would compare? I understand it is almost a bolt in swap, suspension and all, but I never see anything on them
Pretty sure... thats what every taco needs!!
You can get an ECU meant for the 2UZ with a manual transmissions. P/N 89661-6A270. That ECU will make your setup much simpler without the need for an emulator.
Great job, I've been wanting someone to do this, but I also want someone to put the big 5.7L V-8 Tundra motor in a Tacoma, if it's even possible. Can you imagine the torque and speed on that thang? Anyways, keep up the great work, I look forward to new episodes of Fourwheeler as well!
Been done already
I saw a Tundra 5.7 in a 2wd Tacoma TRD racing truck a few years back.
The 4.7 or 5.7 should have been the motor that went in the new supra. I mean if they already going with a BMW motor and car they should have just threw in the V8 with a supercharger or turbo as extra option
Great project, those 4.7's are great motors.
I too bought an E-mountain bike, but also got a spare battery and a factory lockable mount, then installed that on the rear rack (not wired).
Doubles my riding range.
Seeing that the 2UZ came in the 4th gen 4Runner, I would assume it would feel right at home in a 2nd gen Tacoma.
Looking forward to this build.
Does Jillian know you're on CZcams
I used to have the same exact model truck only 2wd. 05 Single cab, 2.7L, 5-speed with a lift on 33s, regeared with an LSD, It was a ton of fun to drive. I loved that truck and I never should have sold it. Its going to be insane with the 4.7. Subscribed!
For future reference, I’ve found dipping the end of plastic fuel lines in hot water helps get them on barb fittings awesome…
Always loved the 4x4 show. I had a 22RE 88 xtra cab that i miss and then a 97’ reg cab taco, they both could climb walls
I put the 4.0 version of this engine in my 99 tacoma, just got it running and driving, i posted a vid of it driving the other day
What do the guys we watch at work watch when they are working? Days Of Our Lives on the phone lol! Classic.
Wouldn't the oil pan, mounts, computer etc be the same as the 4Runner that came with this engine stock?
Would love to put the 4.7 in a first gen taco crewcab 4wd with a manual.
Yeah. Makes sense. Too bad there're very few V8 4Runner donors out there while first generation Tundras are everywhere and falling apart.
A Fumoto oil drain valve fitted to this pan would make oil changes easy if the rack is in the way. There are plenty of different valves available for your thread pitch.
QUESTION: What are you usually watching on your phone while filming? I always see it playing in the background. Keep up the amazing content!
I have a 2012 Taco and a 2007 V8 4Runner, and I have been thinking about this very same swap for a while now. you're basically building a newer first gen Tundra
Also, I'd like to see a 2TR swap into an older pickup (instead of a 3RZ)
Damn it‼ Purchased an aluminum 5.3LS and a Tremec TKX to install into our Regular Cab Taco… LINKS PLEASE and MORE LINKS to where you found this kit⁉
The truck we always wanted Toyota to build
Lol I did this swap in this same platform 6 years ago.
My wife calls you Syndrome, bad guy from the first Incredibles movie. I think it’s the hair.
A coworker of mine swapped a Lexus v-8 into a 4Runner a couple years ago the only problem he had was the age difference with wiring and fuel delivery.
Were did you get the conversion harness for your conversion. I've already converted my 93' pickup to the 3.4l and it's so much better than the 4cyl. But as we all no there is no replacement for displacement and the next thing up is a 1UZ or 2UZ. Also where did you get the transmission adapter plate.
V8 manual taco. Hell ya!
6speed manual/ transfer
cases from a Fj would be a great upgrade with the AWD, lock diff to make it true 4hi and 4low transfer case. on all land cruisers and 4Runners. just my thoughts as AWD is best for dirt & snowy roads.
I already swapped in the FJ cruiser T Case
Why not go 3uz? Lighter weight, more horsepower, and everything uz is interchangeable. You could run any of the oil pans, intake/exhaust manifolds, and modular wiring harness.
I have been looking into doing a uz swap into my 92 pickup for years and simply haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Before that I had an 06 Tacoma that I wasn’t happy with. TTORA introduced me to the UZ platform and I have been interested in this project for a long time now.
Couldn't find a good donor....I was lucky enough to find the 05 Tundra
i would get my hands on a new V8 and swap it into a new 4Runner
worst thing toyta did was to take the v8 option out of the 4runner platform
Should do the marlin crawler kit up front and a linked spider 9 in the rear!
Not for this one...we have a plan to do a Marlin Kit on FourWheeler
Love this , I have an 05 tundra double cab limited that I want to manual swap , nice to see people using the 2uz fe in more then just tundras!
I have the same truck, what transmission would you use? The R150?
Mighty fine Gambler 500 flag in the shop!
The 2uz was offered in the same year 4Runners from the factory. Use the factory power steering lines and ac setup from a 4runner.
Got a 4.7 in my 1st gen sequoia. Love that engine
Extreme 4x4 all over!...excellent video.
Glad you liked it!
Dang dude! I remember seeing you and jessi on spikeTV Xtreme 4x4 back in 05
🤘🏼 love the content!
Thanks for watching!!
Makes me want to scroll Marketplace for a Taco!
Should check out the Lexus GX470, its the 4runner vision with the v8 in it. It would be a good thing for parts and layout.
The 4.7 is one of my favorite Toyota engines, I don't understand why Toyota didn't make a 4.7 taco in the first place.
Would take buyers away from the the Taundra.
I totally agree on mechanical fan. EFans are just a long term hassle.
Truth....can be a pain and unreliable when not working
Look at the V6 4.0L oil pan. I'm sure they're about the same size and would let you see the correct shape. At least none of that stuff in the middle moves so you can be pretty close without an issue.
I'm trying to concentrate, but all I can think of is Will Farrell doing Harry Caray.
You can hear the excitement of it fitting together.
can you try to keep music audio closer to your voice audio volume? It makes it very loud to very quite comparatively when watching and i find my self changing volume a lot.
Yeah, his videos are not very headphone friendly. Your editor needs to work on his transitions to the montages. Loud as hell.
How would a dry sump work out on it? Because that would help in off angle oil starvation.
Where did you get the wiring harness from?
I'm falling in love with this TACO!!! 😍😍😍
Me too
i remember that truck from 4 wheeler. yer the first you tube guy i've seen actually use hand tools instead of battery powered stuff. 🤣🤣
Is this the 5 or 6 speed manual trans? If so where did you get the adapter plate from?
No way to ask this question directly to the channel not a random video, I was just watching an old episode with Jessi combs… I know you made a statement but with everything that happened between the accident then her bigger accident did you guys manage to be in the right side of history
what happened?
I love to see sas’ed 4runners and tacos, makes a whole lot of room for different engine combos
Tacoma. Tacos are food.
@@Natschke_Family_Adventures lol good food at that
First time I’ve ever liked this spike haired fella. He’s a goof ball and I feel like he builds cars for looks and not function. He seems like he daily drives a big bright yellow H2 with a bunch of light bars and custom sub boxes for back seats. But this is truly something I’m interested in and will be following this closely
If you saw my car collection everything you said is completely wrong
Good to see an update on this.
Always wanted to put a TC and a solid front axle swap under my Tundra.
The music before you talk about the bolts reminded me of something, had to find it. Took a minute but it was a song from the movie Snatch. Disco Science. Fat tires rule and front fenders suck!!!
This is awesome! Can’t wait to this done
Interesting the O2s are in the bottom of the headers... always thought those needed to be up too to avoid moisture...Toyota breaking the rules! Nice work!
YES! YOU SHOULD TURBOCHARGE THE BEEEOTCH!!!! 🙌
A flatbed tray and popup camper like the down to mob gladiator would be sweet on that truck
Get a short bed, cut a foot out of the frame and install the small bed. Get a custom license plate that says "stubby".
They make a kit to swap the tundra steering rack too. Might pull that over while you’re at it.
Makes me wonder just how many more Tacos Toyota would have sold had there been a V-8 option. We'll never know.
True...many more
Can’t help but think of that scene in step brothers… are you saying Pam or pan????
Love it! Can't wait to see it completed!
You do know that the music volume is waaay higher than your microphone?
Solid axle swap, would open up under the motor.
Ian don't you remember as kids when you were riding a bike if it had tall tires or fat tires they sling way more dirt, mud, debris, and if you get caught in a rain storm riding that bike with no fenders you'll get soaked right in the middle of your body in the front and back and you'll be soaked from your groin all the way up to your neck and face area
Best part about no fenders...slinging mud!!!
Ian, I always see you playing videos on your phone in the background. What do you watch while you're working in your shop? Because, we are usually watching you...
Tons of stuff...when I run out of Podcasts I usually have something binge watching from Netfix
Who made the bell housing adapter and do they make one for the 6-speed manual?
got 2 toyota tundra and 1 tacome in the yard at my home , you give me some idea here
Where did you get the conversion harness and transmission emulator from?
could you have shimmed up the rear trans mount to help with that angle it has the motor at?
Nice too see you again! From Nebraska
Yup... I want one now.
Where did you get the bell housing adapter
Curious how the trans/transfer case and axles are gonna handle the added power of this swap.
The R155F is suppose to be pretty strong so it should be fine. The r154 is very similar and supra guys use those.
the rear axle in this tacoma should be the Toyota 8.4 which is the same exact diff thats in the tundra the engine came out of..
Knowing you im surprised ya havent sased it befor the swap!
I was gonna SAS this truck but went with the All Pro mid travel and I love it
I'm eyeballing the beetle
Hey I remember you! You're the guy that used to be on TV with that Jamie chick before CZcams took over. You look your age.
And what age would that be.....and I am still on TV...CZcams hasn't taken over its just another place to watch stuff
I've never used that type of throwout bearing yet. I don't know if the bearing face is supposed to be in constant contact with the pressure plate fingers? If it is in contact full time, won't that lead to premature bearing wear?
Depends on the bearings some are designed for constant contact...other have an air gap
love your content and i love the hair, absolute legend.
I also believe that a Tundra steering rack might bolt into the Tacoma.
Very cool build, I’m surprised more people don’t do that swap
Its a lot of moving parts to make it work...but it will be awesome!!!
@@BigTireGarage What engine was in the Tacoma and what exact manual transmission do you have? I have a 2UZ Tundra that I want to do a manual swap in but for example cant use the 4.0L FJ / Taco 6 speed because no one makes an adapter or bellhousing. So, Im very curious what you have. R151? R151F ???
@@oldowl4290 not sure on the transmission, but it’s the 2.7 liter straight 4 cylinder. 2TR-FE
@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 thanks, it would mean you have the W59 which is a 5 speed. Im shocked that the A340 (automatic trans) bellhousing would bolt right up to your W59 and work properly. That’s a great stroke of luck.
There is a guy in New Zealand he will reprogram your ecu and due away with a lot of the functions you don't need, including the trans is called the tune car company nz
Hey Ian! I would like to know your thoughts on tire thickness like what ply do you recommend? Francis I'm driving a Jeep TJ 2 in suspension lift one and a quarter body lift with flat fenders and 35s do I need to be running 10 ply tires where can I get away with 8 ply?
V8 plus Toyota axles on 35’s. How long will this last with Ian behind the wheel??? LOL
Everytime i see the jeep on the table i just wanna know more lol
I have the same truck. And thinking of doing a v6 supercharged swap when the engine gives way. Any ideas or links for the conversion?
This will work perfectly. With the super low end torque you'll be crawling over everything
Nice swap, badass truck
HEY! If the moon was made of cheese, would you eat it?….I would!
