Part Number for Front Ebrake cable - 1992 3.0 V6, should fit all the 3vze campers OEM: 46410-35710 Dorman C660248 Amazon Articway brand: https://amzn.to/3R9Fa0T This is the cable that connects to the handbrake in the cab, it runs through the firewall and eventually splits off into 2 other cables under the truck that run to each drum brake. Cable is ~46 inches end to end Mine was seized solid, I could not pull my ebrake at all, and no amount of PB Blaster could save it

so what were the final results of your brake job bud, did they adjust by backing up or was it the e-brake? im having similar issue and not sure if im just crazy or not

been having issues with my rear brakes, 7 years after changing them out so revisiting my own thread here, got 1 side apart yesterday and found they still looked basically brand new, found my star adjuster is completely seized and was not adjusting the brakes properly! I expect to find the other side completely cooked Going to try and soak it for a while in PB Blaster to get it to free up Adding Toyota part numbers for rear 1-ton brake star adjuster here RH Side- 47405-30020 LH Side- 47406-30020

FYI - V6 motorhome brake pads from Autozone - Duralast D303 dont trust anything in their computer, these are the correct pads

oh buddy, from a toyota to a VW Eurovan... good luck brotha

also the cost to RORO your rig around the darien gap will likely be more than the rig itself 😛

More than a handful of Toyhomes have done it already in both 3VZE and 22RE rigs, I drove my 4runner 22re down there and found parts in most every country, the hilux shares most of the suspension bits i would get as much ground clearance as possible, whether you do that with additional leafs, shackles, airbags, or spacers is up to you, but dragging that big ol behind over topes and muddy ditches will be your biggest issue i actually think I saw a toyhome for sale recently in Chile, let me see if I can find it

File me under Ugly, but ill help you out if you ever make it down to Loreto, Baja Sur, Mexico!

ya ive seen it done on the 4runners/pickups as well, just not on a yoterhome hows the ol gal running Ed?

great writeup bud! keep her going, bring us homeeeeeeeee!

lotta chatter and some silly arguments in this thread (what was up at that stamar guy?) but i only saw 3 successful swaps posted, all 3.0 -> 3.4 I know ive seen an older Sunrader 4x4 with a 350 chevy in it, but thats about the only 22RE swap ive seen, has anyone else taken the plunge on the 4cylinders?

PS: glad to see you still out there on the road!

handy little gauge there ed I was recently driving around in baja and suddenly lost power, coasted over to the side of the road, truck wouldnt start back up, she would crank and crank but never fire up, so my brain goes straight to fuel, i check all the connections, all looks good pop the fuse box and sure enough the EFI fuse is blown, i swap a new one in, boom she fires right up, my wife praises my genius and down the road we go.... for about 5 minutes, lose all power again, fuse is popped once more i had just got some exhaust work done so I crawl under the truck and take a look, I start tracing the wires from the fuel pump back to the front of the truck, sure enough find a bundle of wire sagging down onto my fancy new exhaust... 3 of the wires had melted and were shorting each other out, i cut the sheathing back a bit, cleaned up the wires and wrapped them indiviudally in electric tape, secured the wires up with a zip tie, put in a new fuse and no more issues! When i got back home I used some heatshrink/solder connectors to fix her up right

id go with the toyota lug nuts, the dorman one fits but it is a different size hex head, think it was a 21mm, not the 23mm that all the other factory nuts use pricey at ~$6 a nut, but cheaper than shearing your rim off!

My rig was built in california and also has the dual cats, finally getting them chopped off down here in Mexico, let that puppy breathe! no emissions in our home state of FL, good luck with california

lol you sound just like me Ed, after dicking with the arm for a few days i eventually gave up and bought one with pre-pressed bushings and after wrestling trying to get the goddang thing back in for hours I eventually took tin snips to the fender! Glad to hear you are still out there on the road!

sounds like a good deal to me, congrats!

adding part number for upper control arms, rather than dicking with the replacing the bushings I have found just ripping the whole arm out and replacing with these dorman arms with pre-pressed bushings is much faster and easier, they have held up well over many tens of thousands of miles of beating the crap out of them, so can recommend!

Found some part numbers on the axle thread, not sure if they still exist or not but they do show as available when I search for them on toyotapartsdeal.com Left Hand Studs: Toyota Part No: 90942-02057 Left Hand Nut Toyota Part No: 90942-01009

added 3vze fuel pump and fuel filter, ill do some hunting on those left hand nuts, but why not just change all the studs/nuts to RH out so you dont have to deal with that oddball issue? ?

good to hear my friend! hope you got that starter swapped out and have been cruisin trouble free! I had my rad fan blow up on me and take out upper/lower rad hoses, take a big chunk out of the airbox, slice a hole in the battery, take a few belts out, and made some gnarly dents in the hood. I was able to rig everything back up on the side of the road with some electrical tape and zipties, limped it down the road a few miles to a NAPA which was able to order every single part I needed, SAME DAY, on a Saturday in the middle of nowhere. Had her back up and running good by dinnertime. God bless old toyotas!
