If you make it to 350k, your "D" light starts working again.

Get a used engine. Any 4.7 with vvti should work, just a matter of what you need to swap over from the original engine. When you do the used engine, you will want to budget in new timing belt & water pump, and anything else you may need to do...

My question may have had an answer somewhere but I think It's not a bad idea to ask here, I'm in the middle of an engine swap and have a long list of things to buy one of them is a radiator. Is there any big difference between the Denso...

Colorado was truly a great place to be. Im jealous of you guys out there. COTR 2 was a good shakedown run for my bone stock 100 but she did well. "The Wall" was the only legit obstacle that required my winch. The entrance was pretty knarly as...

Slowly but surely. Too hot after work so can only do a panel in the morning before leaving everyday.

Maybe the last two weekends… Drove from NYC to the Solid Axle Summit in Ouray, CO. Did some epic trails, hung out with some Mud legends and had a great time all around. Leaving NYC Kansas! 3 days and in Colorado, 2F power- 24 hour Black...

Yum, years of greasy fingers, dead skin, and dried sweat and urea, getcha summa that. :)

Custom quarter panels to work with a customers platform deck.

Ouch. That's (IMO) too deep to polish out. You could install a SpeediSleeve - you'd have to do it 'backwards' (flange facing outwards before removal), but it's doable. You'd want to: sand/polish the surface of the crank to remove all burrs...

Bittersweet day. Traded my 100 series for a 200 series. After many years of faithful service it was time to upgrade. 316,974 miles on the clock. I’ll miss the old girl😢

You know it will go out, I say get that alternator fixed and put it on the shelf or take it with you on a long trip. Just my 2 pennies.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think I'm just going to keep it and go through it for a spare when the AutoZone unit goes out.......hopefully not anytime soon

Get it rebuilt by a good starter/generator shop. Put it on the shelf. That's what I do.

So, calculating for LA traffic, you'll arrive late afternoon. ;)

Rear diff fluid changed (other fluids checked), greased all grease points, installed Toyota head unit (just for looks), BT receiver, and ball mounts for accessories (carplay screen and phone holder). LED headlights and side markers, fitted new to...

Yes, I painted mine a few years before they started using it for TRD pro color, back when it was just called Toyota Dark Green 6V7.

Simplest things are sometimes the most satisfying. New back hatch struts

Took it for a windows down drive along the north shore of O’ahu, was rewarded with a nice sunset!

Here is my rusty hood before I sprayed on some of my favorite stuff. Builds - 86 Xtra Cab Build (4Wheelunderground 3 link front, 4 link rear and 3.4 swap) -...

I did not. @2001LC has a good write up with pictures.

Did you happen to take pictures? I am getting a new W/S after the engine swap I want to make sure they do the job right the first time. Thank you for posting the parts.

I answered some of the questions with my experience. I removed the moldings and glass a week before safelite showed up so I could repair and remove all rust. They simply installed the glass. They are good at that. I installed the moldings and...

Yes sir! I got a few extra shirts from none other than @pismojim back in 21. He even tossed in some extra SnT stickers which was a bonus.
