  • SOLD!!
For sale is my 2001 Taco, with a 100% rebuilt 1KZ-TE swapped. Had a change in my financial situation and would like to gauge interest. Please contact me if you're interested. I can provide more pictures.

Read my diesel swap build thread here: anothernord's JDM 1KZ-TE diesel swap (2001 Tacoma 3.4)

This truck is in great shape for it's age and mileage. The paint is in great condition and there is NO major rust. It's a really solid truck and everything works. The tailgate has some dents visible in the right light, and the rear bumper will be replaced (it has 2 obvious dents) before a potential sale.

But that's not why you're reading this...

This truck has been personally swapped (besides machining) a JDM 1KZ-TE diesel from a 96' Hilux into this rig. It. Is. Awesome.

Engine specs:

- 1KZ-TE, I4, 3.0L, indirect injection, turbocharged, intercooled

- Estimated 175 HP / 350 ft-lbs (Feels faster than the 5vz with a TRD SC)

- 23-26 MPG (this will improve as the engine continues to break in)



Other major parts/details of the truck:
- Engine rebuilt by myself with machine work done by AMS Machine
- New pistons (0.02 over)
- New rings
- New King rod and main bearings
- 100% new seals
- Fully rebuilt head
- New combustion chambers

- Factory E-locker

- ~50,0000 mile JDM 1KZ-TE A340F auto shifts solid and perfectly. I know everyone boo-hoos automatics, but seriously, it's way better for wheelin' and the A340F basically bullet-proof as far as autos go. If it goes bad, you can throw one in from any 4runner, tacoma, etc.

- Bilstein/OME lift (installed 2 years ago)

- Tundra front brakes (Stoptech/Centric, 1.5 years ago)

- New front lower control arms

- New CV's

- New CV seals

- New upper and lower ball joints

- New steering rack bushings

- AWD-Hi/Lo/4WD-Hi-Lo/2WD-Hi-Lo functionality (super-flexible t-case, chain drive)

- New custom driveshafts from Northern Colorado Driveline

- 10,000 GWVR trans cooler

- FX-R bixenon HID retrofit

- Topper

- Bedliner

- Integrated stereo w/ bluetooth, etc

- Body/rear axle mileage: 280k

- Needs to be registered in a non-emissions county

  • Price:

    Diesel Toyz, up till recently, charged $20,000 to convert a truck. Now, they won't even do a conversion on a 1st-gen, and they're only selling already-converted, newer trucks. So, I'm asking $22,000. Considering the engine is essentially NEW, the time invested in labor, AND there's a nice truck to go with it, I believe I'm pricing fairly. I know the mileage of the rest of the truck is high, but almost everything mechanical has been replaced or is new. As this is a "feeler" for-sale, that means I don't NEED to sell it.

do you have any pictures of the installed intercooler? cool truck. what shape is the body in? you said minimal rust, where? what's the frame look like? where did this spend it's life?

Just search my posts for the 1KZ build thread, I think there's one there. Or just google search for my old turbo build on the stock motor. I'm very pleased with how it came out. And as I have time I'll add more pictures.

This is a Colorado truck (see profile) so when I say there's minimal rust, I'm talking about essentially nothing. The kind of tiny tiny flecks of surface rust that occurs on vehicles that aren't hermetically sealed in a museum. And ZERO body rust (again, Colorado). I never even think about rust with vehicles here because it's just a non-issue.

The body is in excellent shape. I haven't had time to get more pictures but in one of the pictures you can get an idea by looking at the side of the vehicle.
 
Pictures galore! Selling for real now.

Also, how can I edit the OP??
