Franken-80
Edit: I bought a 99 with 268k on it and a handful of small issues - trying to sort through them now. Figured I’d keep documenting it here, if you want to call that a build...
Hello 100 series guys! Just sold my second 80, and thinking about ditching my 3rd gen 3RZ runner in favor of picking up a 100 series to daily/road trip/light trail duty. Ive had a number of Toyotas and mechanic for a living so I’m no stranger to fixing things, Ive rebuilt a few Toyota engines but... I’d prefer not to. I don’t mind baselining though.
So is looking at 100s with 200k +
foolish? My gut says 200k on a well maintained 4.7 is probably still reliable, but 250k is a little more than Id like. I wouldn’t mind paying a little more for less mileage but what I’m seeing is almost double for around 150k mile rigs.
