Agreed. I would rather make it a package deal.

At the time of overheat, the engine was at 207,000 miles. Hope this helps.

If it comes to parting out, I will be in touch. My first choice is still to sell it as she sits.

Currently have this truck listed For Sale as-is, with a blown engine. Parting out is another option I have to consider though. Probably wouldn’t take too many key parts and I’d have my $2,500 asking price. Especially since it is still in my mechanic’s lot. Let me know what you are interested...

Engine overheated to the point of stall. Truck was just over 200k miles. I have the original 16" wheels, and 18" Tundra wheels. Both are included. Weatherguard mats front & back. Photos were taken at the mechanic's storage yard, but I have more. Serious inquiries only VIN: Will Update...

Asking 3.5k

Thanks to all for the advice, thoughts, and prayers. This site is such a tremendous resource. Here is where I am on this project. I "think" I have decided to let her go. There is a higher mileage 2008 that has presented itself to me, and I think I might just have to do it. I drove to the...

All great information. Thank you so much. Spreadsheet has started. ....Ugggh!

Decision has been made. I've pretty much decided to get this one running again. Now, considering the parts required for a timing belt change & a new engine swap, what parts do I go ahead and source to get all of this done? I'd like to put together a list for getting this all totalled up...

Until I can get it home, (if that is what I plan to to do) this is the only photo I have. It's a depressing one.

My initial thoughts too, but I had already replaced those about 4 years ago. Not sure at this point of the autopsy results other than coolong system. I just got the news yesterday afternoon. It was overdue for timing belt service and parts change too, so I'm not sure if that could have played...

In a nutshell, the cooling sytem. It overheated, fatally.

Current mileage is 209k. Parting out scares me a little, but I do have the space & time. What would be the upside? What are the most valuable pieces I could expect to sell? Dealing with the public, the shipping, etc., all present a new list of challenges. A bit overwhelmed at the moment...

I have decided to start over. A new-to-me, "used engine" + Labor to swap + remaining projects that were slated for this truck just doesn't add up. I will search for another comparable Land Cruiser. Now, what to do with my dead soldier? Salvage yard? Open to creative suggestions. Located...

Does anyone know where to source one in "TAN w LIGHTER" wood? I searched high & low for the 97-02 steering wheels in lighter color codes. All that I see some to be the darker versions. Lots to choose from if I had a year model 2003 & earlier.
