on the peddle. food for thought. take the plastic mounting metal piece and weld it to the metal pedal. then you can bend the new metal pedal so it looks factory.
I was thinking somewhat the same thing. Just cut the spline "nut" out of the VW pedal & weld it to the Toyota pedal arm & call it done. Maybe reinforce it with some small plating "just in case".
@@jimbote1968 Is the insert splined or just tapered? If it just has a taper, a guy could bang a mild steel one out on a lathe. I'm curious since I will be doing a similar BHW swap soon.
To get that piece out of the fuel pipe...take 2 locking needle nose pliers...lock them 90 to 180 degrees apart on the piece or as far apart as you can )..and twist them towards each other ( using tools if manpower is not enough to bend them ) ..repeat as needed till it is smaller in size and can be pulled out easily...
Get rid of ALL plastic in the pedal. Salvage the tapered and splined metal insert from the plastic pedal and press fit/weld/mount THAT into an all metal pedal.
Aside from fuel pump/filler neck/lines, I think this is a much easier swap. The UZ engines really are a shoe horn swap into the Tacoma/4Runner. I put a non vvti 1UZ into a 87 4runner, and much of the work required was just making it fit. Moved radiator forward, body lift for diff/ steering rack/sway bar clearance, custom exhaust around the steering. Anyway it turned out amazing but it is a lot of extra work just to make it fit in that little engine bay...
Dude, you are doing the tanks the hardest possible way. You take all the bolts out of the bed, start the back 2 in a few threads, and flip the bed up and block it with jack stands. Literally change a fuel pump in a hour doing it that way.
@@jimbote1968 it us where you extend the fuel return line out and away from the fuel pump pickup. Which allows the lift pump in this case to pickup non-agitated fuel. Similar to what FASS promotes
Nice. So what are the differences between the BHW block and the ALH block externally? Like would the same motor mounts work between the two or are the bosses totally different? if it is similar, I might trade the ALH I threw in my samurai for a PD motor. I ended up going with a fully mechanical landrover pump on the ALH, and its in canada right now getting rebuilt. But some commonrail goodness would be sweeeet.
too late probably but you'll need to leave that evap line as a tank vent. mine terminates under the hood with a small sintered bronze filter with "bowl" cut off. Also ALH pedal works and is smaller.
I love how clean your solutions to "making stuff fit/work" always look. I kind of cringed at that twisted wire around the fuel pump though. I came across this gizmo at a boat show while I was living on a boat: clamptitetools.com/ I'm amazed at how many times I've used it since the for all sorts of stuff like this. I've come across a lot of Toyota - ALH conversions, but this is the first BHW. You must be the pioneer!
Man I'm loving these episodes and just wanna thank you for taking your time for doing this for us
Thanks I’m glad you enjoy
Your fabrication skills are amazing, pedal turned out awesome
This has become my new favorite channel. 👍🏻
Awesome I’m glad you enjoy it!!
This build, like the others, is so much fun to watch!
Looks like your on a roll here....
Knocking off the To Do List quickly...
Amazing content as usual, Austin. I only wish I could find something half as detailed for TDI swapping a Jeep XJ or WJ.
I’m following this swap with great interest. Thanks for the quick progress.
All the way from South Africa, much love and support. Keep up the good work .

@@democratsuck I tried that on my taco. The insert was some kind of weird alloy and did not weld to the steel at all.

@@abpsd73 tapered, it's easy enough to just bolt the toy pedal to the plastic. And if you reuse the pedal bracket you keep the factory stop.
Inline fuel filter, can you use the same one? Wow that pedal assembly needed a lot of mods to fit. Good job and great video.
Pretty brilliant fabrication on a budget

a 1uz would have been a nice swap

Wow man…..No Tacomas here in Malta but we have plenty of Hilux Models about……..Hmmm tempted……..Good work as always mate
A lot of your relatives here in Australia
There would only be enough room on Malta for six Hilux’s and one Landcruiser
Gonna be a crazy build
Very good, I like how everything is coming together,I like your tacoma truck
This page is going to blow up dude!!
For pressure washing you need to get a horse stall mat to use. I use two of them for washing dirt bikes on gravel!
Good idea!!

Informative video,just keep doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Awesome job bud . I Like the Toyota t-shirt 👍
What is the sleeve in the pedal made out of? If it's steel you could have knocked it out of the plastic and welded the Toyota pedal rod to it.
Nicely done!
Awesome job genius Austin..excited for d next videos
Good work, good video!
Who ever disliked this video is on drugs in their moms basement
glad you are against drugs ! holler upstairs & tell your mom i said hi !
The best channel on RUclips! 👍
Thanks man!!
You bet! Keep making videos brotha!
Will you get full throttle availability does your pedal have enough travel to get a full throttle you might want to check that
Thanks for sharing si Austin God bless you
Love ya work champion!
Looking good
Tell me if I’m wrong but is that shirt from other youtuber’s merch or is it yours ?!? It’s nice!
That’s my shirt brother!! 👍
As usual 👍
Its color looks the same as my L200
Would the nozzle from the VW fit in the Toyota fuel inlet hose?
Did you swap out the balance shaft assembly?
yes I did!
Any thoughts on a Harpoon mod on the return to prevent fuel agitation??
interesting, what is it?

@@kirbymottley007 sounds worthwhile and easy enough.

I think they are pretty close actually!
👍👍👍
Anxious to see the mpg.
Me too!
👏👏👏👏👏

Really? My other swapped truck tank isn’t vented!
I can hook that line back up tho! What do you mean by “bowl cut off”?
@@austinniemela the inlet part of the filter so just the element is exposed. Keeps the mud wasps out.
@@austinniemela got to be vented somewhere. Maybe the cap?
@@jimbote1968 okay yeah I think the cap is vented
How did you find the diesel engine?
I love how clean your solutions to "making stuff fit/work" always look. I kind of cringed at that twisted wire around the fuel pump though. I came across this gizmo at a boat show while I was living on a boat:

Nice i have not seen those tools. I just bought one! Hoping it will be a clean tidy solution for radiator hose clamps!!
I seen u still have the raptor line truck, were u gonna sell them one? Out of curiosity how much?
Yes it will be up for sale soon! 15k takes her home
👀
Where are you getting adaptor plate from?
I’m going through NW Fabworks
@@austinniemela That's the same one I plan to get, but through their Canadian store TDConversions.
@@abpsd73 yeah solid adapter!!
Best Regurds Dude,why dont You try Mercedes engine om 606 diesel?
Someday I may!
A 2JZ is a real struggle to fit, let alone an OM606... Such a long motor for that short engine bay.
Would be amazing in a land cruiser!
When he doesn't show spraying the gas tank with the spray bottle cam 😔
I didn’t paint the tank!
