First Drive In The 3.4L Swapped Toyota Pickup!!

[@jimmadonna1436]

Shout out to Victor. That was cool of him. I can't believe how fast she started. I'm stoked about Cameron being back.

[@23zahi23]

I don't know why would someone dislike video like this! cool build Man (Y)

[@MussaKZN]

Lol I had to go back to the top to check!! Nissan owners bro, they are just so jealous all they have is 👎

[@carpetpunter158]

Dislikes are just as good as likes to the KZbin algorithm they are still a viewer

[@princenoah21]

And now, we can thank YT for disabling us from seeing the number of dislikes. 😒

[@ianadkins6056]

Had the same with mine. Replace the brass sleeve in the hub the cv comes through. As a quick fix, and a way to grease in future, Get a spare of one of the big wheel bearing nuts, weld on a pipe about 1.5” long with a cap and put a grease nipple in it. Remove one of the two wheel bearing lock down nuts and thread on the new grease tool you made. Grease until a small amount comes through on backside. Someone actually makes and sells this tool but super easy to make!!

[@dannysheppard2882]

On the vsv. Switch the hoses around on the switch . I had one do that and I swapped the vacuum lines around and it stopped.

[@trindominus7149]

I start your videos thinking, "I could do this!" Then you do some next level man shit and then I'm like, "Well, I will just enjoy the show."

Yeahhh dawg!! She's ripping hard

She’s a ripper

[@Invincibletro]

Austin I agree with you, box frames rust from the inside out. After all, it's not a numbers matching restoration. 20 more years should suffice.

[@owenross2792]

It was probably the fueling with the old ecu that made it start slower before you swapped it

[@Oliver-yt2bc]

Cheers for listening to my idea of plug welding the chassis brace, looks great mate!

[@trindominus7149]

I don't fully understand what happened there. How did that make it stronger?

[@bryanhall5273]

Nice dude! Makes me really wanna get my '95 3.4 yota back on the road.

[@Abodah75]

Do I remember correctly you had the rear axle universal joint totally smashed? Was it noticeable on the test drive? 😄 So cool that someone values these trucks in the US too👌 I'm from Finland (yeah not my real name🤣) and the diesel version of this is like the golden standard of pickups here. Just turbo swapped mine 😎

[@inferno1770]

Gotta love tune ups it's alot of fun making things better

[@chassull857]

Stick with the aisin locking hubs found them at RockAuto for about $100 each, the other aftermarket locking hubs don't have the tapered cones for around the studs

[@TheAlaskaCajun]

Sounds pretty rad bro

[@thatsurf1639]

Front CV brass bushes. I had to do mine on my Hilux Surf. Expensive little bushes and even after I replaced them the CV's still had some play, but it fixed the binding up noises.

[@Eggugat]

You need to follow Por15 instructions exactly as they are written. Otherwise it will peel off like paper.

[@celticdrones9592]

Yep best stuff. Only the sun kills it so I put a paint over it

[@timeforbigchange9417]

So informative. Thank you.

[@carpetpunter158]

Was there a snapring/circlip at the end of that cv holding it in place? Maybe it's further in the hub assembly (cant remember 100%) but check that as when i first bought my truck had similar sounds bought 2 new cv's turned out just needed a set of snaprings as previous owner never put them back so cv's had way too much play.

[@bryannamba1560]

Yeah I noticed it was missing the C-clip on the CV axle right outside the brass bushings. The 12m bolt on the end it for the locking hubs or drive flange. Without the clip there is extra in and out play.

[@vdubcustoms6957]

Just bought some AVR swag to help support you bro. Love the channel, awesome builds and way to remain humble and appreciate your fans. Keep up the great work and inspiring us to go all in on our own builds. I am looking to swap an MK4 ALH into my 91 G60 Corrado. Pulled the engine, ECU and full harness out of my lifted Jetta. Now I will rebuild it and swap to the Corrado. Thanks for all the TDI content 👍🏻

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man I appreciate that!!! That will be a fun project!!

[@vdubcustoms6957]

@@austinniemela Your videos and the hard work you have done swapping yours will help me out tremendously. I might even do a custom lift on the Corrado for a more rally inspired stance! Thanks for the reply Austin! Keep on grinding bud-

i love the sound! good job, waiting to see more.

[@tuckerboos7994]

Man I hope this thing sees a supercharger at some point in its life :)

[@TheKajunkat]

Me too, the TRD superchargers are coming up used fairly often so maybe he will snatch on up. Those 3.4L need all the help they can get on the low end. They are complete dogs at low rpm but make good power once you get over 3000 rpm or so.

[@realaussiemale567]

Didn’t you say in the 1st episode of this build, that u weren’t going to put as much time, $$$ & effort in this vehicle as you did with the red Toyota? You’d have to agree, that statement is something you won’t be making again, especially if you decide to take on another similar project? I have to say, you make this type of work look a lot easier than what it is. I guess, having the knowledge & confidence to take this stuff on makes it look easy. 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@tryonscion6823]

I had that harbor freight vice. It literally broke in half on me! Good luck on the build!

[@austinniemela]

Mine has been great!! Thanks!

[@justinlawrence4562]

Great build Bro.

[@markozabic]

Nice videos 👌 You should take off whole knuckle to se if roller bearings went bad

[@bob_frazier]

Hey Austin, "While your in there you might as well...." replace the roller bushings, bearings, the cv joints, etc, etc!

[@austinniemela]

No haha well let’s hope not

[@CLETrucking]

I love the wheel and tire combo on this truck can you tell me what it is the tire size and the rim size thanks man really appreciate it

Got a question I have a 2nd gen 3.slow I have a 2003 Mustang Gt my buddy just wrecked with a 4.6 5 speed would you do the V8 Swap or go with the 3.4 swap mine is a auto ?

[@austinniemela]

3.4 for sure

[@xcaret1968]

Thanks

[@pistolpeds]

If I saw that chassis for sale I'd guess by the look of it I'd be thinking you'd tried to cover up a few sins.

[@82werk72]

Love the patina!!!!

[@Stanleyraf]

Good job Austin, Greets from Argentina!

[@thomasmurphy5906]

Sounds Awesome ☮️

[@tharoncesselli7162]

Your sound is the cv axle touches a brass bushing in the back needs grease beetween but yes like u showed there lose if u push the cv back with him off jam grease I'm there I bet it's quiet again

[@austinniemela]

Yes it’s all dry! I’m going to do bushings and repack the wheel bearings!

[@jimbote1968]

that play is pretty normal in both the axle and the locking hub.

[@austinniemela]

Really?! I thought it was pretty floppy!

[@mikediamond257]

Excellent content once again. 👍

Toyota 4x4 k.swap next build....

[@markdunn8549]

You need a fan shroud cowling for better cooling

[@brookvalliant7813]

While she's apart, remove the body lift. Suspension lift or nothing else imo. 4" will keep your steering geometry straight and let you do 33" tires. Should you need winter rated tires, Yokohama makes a Geolandar metric equivalent. I'm also wondering about the possible missing ring as mentioned previous.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

What’s your problem with body lifts? I’ve had one in my full-size ford for 7 years and never had any issue. I actually like the space between the body and frame, it makes working on things a lot easier

[@adventurousairman]

Nice, did you ever get a stock air box for the 3.4 ?

[@austinniemela]

Yes I did!

@why did you put holes in the lid and not just pop the cap off the POR can?

[@austinniemela]

Screw the screws back in to seal it up. If you get por15 in the lid and put it on, it will never come back off

[@brunocruz9887]

Is it a diesel engine? Or gasoline?

[@deathwish-dk3xf]

Hey, my 5vz is stock and idles at around 1250 rpms at temp

[@andrewo8987]

1250 idle is not normal at all for these engines. Look into getting your throttle body repaired by maxbore.com. The butterfly valve can wear down and causes a high idle. The guy will bore out your throttle body and replace the butterfly valve to fit. Of course make sure it's not your throttle cable adjustment or a long list of other possible issues.

[@deathwish-dk3xf]

Appreciate it. Will look into this
