Glad I could be part of your rebuild and part of the new life you are breathing into this rig. Keep sending progress pics!
It's actually my mom's shop, and was basically the only dry space available when I brought it home...i spent every weekend of my childhood there restoring cars with my dad so it's neat to be tinkering on cars there again. It's definitely REALLY nice having an actual building to work out of, the guys that do builds/projects in their driveways Have a level of commitment and drive I just don't possess. i do good to find ambition to work in a heated building while not being snowed on so hats off to you!
I appreciate the offer, but I'm already sitting on a mini truck ps box so while I'm swapping stuff anyways I will make use of it and get an upgrade while I'm at it. correct- I am still in search of a hood and windshield frame, and have added a fiberglass roof cap to that list should you happen across any of those items. Thanks again!
that is my plan, I went back and forth on repowering it with this donor rig or a 01-02ish rollover tundra I have. while I was thinking about it the packrats got into the tundra and proceeded to do what they do and destroy wiring and make a crap filled nest of the whole truck. It was obviously running and driving when it got rolled but I haven't personally heard it run or seen it move under its own power and it would now need both a underhood and dash harness replacement/heavy repair to even attempt to test run it.(I drove the red tacoma home) of course the 2uz would have the v8 cool factor and better power but this thing is gonna spend 90% of its life on pavement/gravel (55 mph county roads), and definitely won't be on more than a 33" tire (likely 31's) with stockish ride height and any offroad activities would be fairly tame. I believe the 5vz should motivate it around just fine for my intended usage. while it would definitely be cool, I don't know that I NEED the v8 power enough to justify the added headache. so, it's the classic "these are the parts I already owned" reasoning behind almost all sub optimal swappage that takes place. anyone who's been down this road before and has a differing opinion of the suitability of the 3.4 to do what I'm planning, I would love to hear about it before I get too deep into a swap I'd regret... I actually plan on attempting to use the seats in the 40. if that doesn't pan out you've got first dibs on headrests.Are you going to 3.4 swap this?? Don't see many of those done
If you're parting out that red truck I'll take the badass TRD headrests
Perhaps a battle of lack of wits is in order! Hahaha... careful though, nobody knows more about nothing than me!Hey wait a sec. My thread is the useless information thread......There can be only one.
