HELP Broken Air Filter Box Tab

Well boys I messed up. My 2017 2.7 Air Box Filter Tab broke off.. I’m having trouble finding the correct part to replace it with. I would like to replace just the top cover and not the entire assembly.

 

I put tape over it for the time being. I cannot find this part anywhere.

 

Hey,

You happen to have the old pieces? They may be able to be plastic welded together if so. If not check car-parts.com for used. Some vendors there will sell retail if you are local to them. They sell LKQ (used)

 

I do not know what the 2.7 airbox looks like but I probably wouldn't worry about it since there is another clamp right around the corner.
If you only want the top see if someone here has done a cold air intake and is selling their old airbox, you could also hit up a pull a part, I understand its rare to find tacomas at junk yards though.

 

I would like to buy the part brand new but having trouble finding the part number. For just the cover

 

Can't help you with a part number, try a Toyota dealer online parts department for a part number. Its possible you may have to buy the whole assembly.

 

If you want new, look here for part #

Fixed it I guess. New cover was $92 used . Scratched to hell from lkq. The new one cost $280

 

That’s a very clean engine bay

 

After a trip I serviced oil and found the airbox lid had come loose. No broken tabs...it just somehow worked its way off. For good measure I daisy chained zip ties around the whole box

 

Is that sarcasm.

 

Wow that sounds no bueno.

 

That’s reassuring to hear. I had to sort of modify this one to work. Not happy about that but 270 for a new one is insane

 

Jk lol. Mine used to look like that when we used to go camping/driving in the desert . Main reason I put on a snorkel

 

Yeah. She used just not abused. Toyota puts that sticky stuff that collects dirt like a b**tch

 

Time to see if the cyclonic air intake from the 2TR Hilux will fit.
