If I went with a 1" shorter shackle ( 4" shackle).. How much do you think that would drop it? My current 5" shackle = 1.5"s of lift right? So....Math...

Thinking it would drop me between 1/4"-1/2". nothing special but itll help I guess.

I've been tryin to get as low as poss. Too I have 4 in marlins in the Back with 5 1/2 eye to eye shackles and no body lift. Seems like that's as low as I can get with leafs. I even have two leafs out of the rears.

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #213 on:** Feb 21, 2014, 07:33:23 AM »

I think I'm happy with the height now. But I think 4 in marlins might do you some good then you could take some leafs out and make them about a 3 in spring like I did. I've tried really short shackles before as well and they don't seem to perform as well as the size I'm running now.

Yeah. Your truck sits nice. IMO. I think what im gonna have to do is hack off my sliders and rear shock tower and lower my gas tank some more. Ditch the 1" body lift. Thats an inch drop right there. I do not own a welder or really know how to weld for that matter. Thats the only reason i havent jumped on it yet.

Nation,

Is your truck 100% finished yet or what? Geeeez what's taking so long? What a silly thread.

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #216 on:** Feb 21, 2014, 05:40:35 PM »

I had to do all that same junk to take my bl off it sucks. But it worth it. Sliders are harder to fit but I'm sure you'll figure it out. Northern industries sells a wire feed for like 329 that looks like it would be a good welder I think it might have the gas option too. Learn yer self how to weld. I just started one day like 8 years ago and now I'm pretty awsome at it. Wire feed is easy u can do it.

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #217 on:** Feb 21, 2014, 06:52:53 PM »

Another idea for lowering the front would be to notch your frame and weld your hanger in to it like they did on the formula marlin Toyota you would loose 2 in in front right there but it would make your caster more positive. And for the back you could either French your hangers into the frame a bit. All of these ideas involve grindin and welding.

Hope that link works. Some pics on pirate of frenched rear hangers

After all the ideas I've shared I honestly think your trucks looks great. But if the body lift comes out it wouldn't be a bad thing and if you ever get super ambitious you could French some hangers. I still have to French my front hangers my front is higher than the back now. But whole diff ball game with Tacoma frame. I keep gettin my truck lower and lower over the years and the lower I go the better it feels on the trail. Dosnt feel like its guna tip over all the time. I'm pretty sure this is why everyone likes to link their rigs. Super low and lots of travel the best of both worlds. Ok that's all I have for ya good luck buddy

Nation · « **Reply #222 on:** Feb 21, 2014, 07:44:05 PM »

Wow, thanks for all of the info and direction thank you very much. I do appeciate it.

I am going to suck it up and hack everything off and sell that 1" body lift.. Get the poly body mounts. See how it feels from there. Im not going for looks here. Strictly performance. You can nearly get a stock height yota tilted sideways and be fine. Get that COG down!!!! I hate that tippy feel. Again. Thanks for putting all of that together ToyArmy

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #223 on:** Feb 21, 2014, 08:15:49 PM »

Word up. That runner will look sick slammed on big tires. And prob perform better than ever.

Props on the 3rz as well. I bet u got a smile on yer face when you drive that thing now. Congrats

Nation · « **Reply #225 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 11:54:59 AM »

OK, so....Heres a new question....I read on another post on Marlins 3RZ.....Saying about how the evap canister has to be located under the cab or near the gas tank for emissions purposes. Is this the same with the pickup/4Runner. Here is why I am in question.

Nation · « **Reply #226 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 11:57:23 AM »

FOR the 2000 4 coil 3RZ that is... Thanks in advance.

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #227 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 05:56:52 PM »

I have the info ill tell u when I get home

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #228 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 06:41:40 PM »

ok so it looks like you have three plugs on that part of the wiring..that tells me the truck your motor came out of had the under hood charcoal can...if it had the one back by the gas tank there would only be two plugs...so one plug is for the( vsv for vapor pressure sensor), one for the (vsv for evap )sensor, and one for a (vapor pressure sensor)...once you get your charcoal can it should have the evap sensor on it with a small vac line coming off the charcoal can, into the evap sensor, then back into the charcoal can...theres also a little nipple on that same sensor that you run a small vac line off of to the vapor pressure sensor...lastly hook the hose comin off the throttle body to the vsv then from the vsv to another fitting that will be on the charcoal can.. oh and on the tacoma fuel line setup theres also one more hose that comes off the charcoal can that runs to the tank wich must draw the vapor for the sensors...and theres another fitting off the can that would hook up to the tacoma airbox to draw air in...wich you can just put a little filter on...this is probly hella confusing to you i will take a pic of my setup tomorow or as soon as i can or you can prob find a pic of the factory setup online somewhere,,,goodluck

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #229 on:** Feb 26, 2014, 07:27:28 PM »

im not sure what some states require but the setup i explained is what you have the wiring for....unless im looking at it wrong

before i put the bed back on my truck ill take a pic of how the fuel lines comes off my tank and also where they go in the engine bay then youll be dialed..evey year tacoma as far as i can figure out had a charcoal can under the hood except it seems like 01-04 they started putting back by the tank on the 4 and v6 and its a little more confusing but i have all the pics and info on that setup as well cause of changing different year motors into my truck but in the long run i just decided to always run the same wiring on wichever motor i was running and i never had to change anything.. i actually have both charcoal can setups though just ended up with them somewhere along my tacoma addiction of going and looking at anybody that has taco parts...i also have a gas tank tank that goes with the 01-04 stuff its all hella diff then the tank thats orig to my 98 i could explain all the diff but i dont think u need that info do to what setup you have...ive always ran a 99 harness with the under hood charcoal can..ive put that harness on a 99, 98, and 04 3rz just fine i just have to stay away from the dizzied motors i just run the dual coil...but i have the quad coil wiring and was thinkin bout runnin it but its prob just the same power wise so what the hay...if avoidable stay away from the by tank charcoal stuff unless you wana do what bevin and bigmike did for his quad coil 3rz swap...wich was genious...in the future if you have a question about tacoma stuff you can always ask me chances are ill know at least a little bit if not the whole q...ive learned alot havin two diff 3.4's in my truck and now on my third 3rz...sorry for all the blabbing...if you learn one good thing from all that ill have done my job

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #233 on:** Feb 27, 2014, 04:53:16 AM »

i just saw that link hog put up...pictures are worth a million words sometimes....i corrected some stuff on wich sensors are wich in the initial post i sent yesterday

HogCanyonHopper · « **Reply #234 on:** Feb 27, 2014, 06:45:52 AM »

whats confusing me is you keep mentioning "charcoal canister". there is no canister on my trucks, just the black evap box shown in the link. its easy, get the evap box and hook everything up. if your year 3rz requires an additional "canister" near the tank then get that. But i am betting YOU DONT NEED IT. The swap I am working on right now is out of a 99 Tacoma and there is no "charcoal canister" ANYWHERE on this truck. If they started using the "canister" again in 2000, well then, that sucks

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #235 on:** Feb 27, 2014, 01:00:30 PM »

That's just what they've always been called. Yea black box. Same thing.

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #236 on:** Feb 27, 2014, 01:03:12 PM »

They used to be can shaped. I'm pretty sure they're still referred to as charcoal cans. If their not then I'm sorry I was just tryin to help the guy out.

No apologies necessary man. I am sorry if I came off as rude or dismissive to your info. is this what all the fuss is about?:

Crunchy Taco · « **Reply #238 on:** Feb 27, 2014, 02:49:22 PM »

Well I'm pretty sure they are all considered what they call charcoal canisters even if its shaped like a box. The reason they call them that is cause they have charcoal in them that filters out fuel vapors for emissions as far as I can understand from what I've learned over the years. The pic you put up is the same thing a charcoal box " or can" it's just the one that mounts next to the gas tank. Same thing as the other box like you and I run they just started putting them back by the gas tank instead of under the hood on the 2000-04 tacomas. Bigmike mentioned some stuff about it on the last page of marlins 3rz swap too. I wish I was able to explain things better I'm not very good at it. Those years of that evap system also have an extra valve built into the gas tank like what you will see on the 3rz swap Bevin and big mike did. He retrofitted it into his hilux fuel tank.

hog you werent rude dude, it seemed like i was confusing the heck out of you and i felt bad for that...im not callin those things a canister anymore...maybe they used to be a canister but now theyre a f---in black box lookin thing...its all a buch of stupid crap if you ask methe only reason i leave all that junk on my truck is so my computer takes good care of me
