Cruising Central Texas
Okay, so I have a Toyota issue. Still not done with my 71 FJ40, 96 FZJ80 is my DD..and now I bought a 2003 4Runner SR5 with the 4.0 L 1GR-FE. Only some minor cosmetic dings on the passenger side from meeting a snow bank...and in the ensuing attempt to remove the vehicle from the snowbank it sounds like they spun a bearing (seriously sounds like a monkey with a 3 pound sledge banging away) Living in the Alaska interior means everyone holds onto their Toyotas..so no engines in the salvage yards. I do have a buddy who has a 2UZ-FE from an 04 Tundra. It is complete with Transmission, T-case, harness and ECUs I can get for around $1500. I know anything is possible with $$$$ but I dont want to dump to much more $$$$ into this thing. Search has yeilding me nothing, and I think I broke the google machine searching for anyone who may have swapped the V6 out and put in the V8. Push comes to shove I will dump another 2k into getting the engine rebuilt... this thing will get a mild 2inch OME lift and some 33s and bumper upgrades....thoughts?
Already ripped out the interior so the wife could shampoo it all and clean the interior tid bits.
