yeah? well rebuild would sorta be long term...so i guess 3.4 swap would also...what is the cost difference between rebuild and swap? I just am hoping that the 282k engine will make it until whenever I have the finance to do the swap/rebuild...I see this is your first post? Welcome to yotatech! may you find much happiness and advice...

Mine came from Washington state and was purchased onn Ebay, everything went really smooth but you have to educate youself on shipping, customs, dutes and taxes.
Right now if the vehicle is 15yrs old or older you can bring it in with no restrictions, It just has to pass your provinces safety inspection or such.
Other wise you can check: http://www.riv.ca/ to see if it is permissable.

The 3.0 is a decent engine considering, but with 282k I think you are taking a crapshoot as to how much longer it will last. I've had two 22re's and 3 3.0's and I'd trade my 3.0 for a 22re anyday. The 3.0 doesn't really have that much more power than a 22re

ok, yeah, i think i'm just biased because the last one i had was really crap, so hopefully the next one i get will be a lot better...and of course mods (just to the engine) will help tons...

Mine's not fast at all either, but it sure is reliable and easy to work on. Your apparent slowness may be due to oversized tires for your gearing, timing, fuel issues, rubbing brakes, etc.. you get the idea. Have you driven any other 22re's other than your own? Perhaps you need to get behind the wheel of another truck with a 22re to get a better idea.

so i went to see this http://vancouver.craigslist.org/car/289320890.html truck...i really like it and the body is in real good shape... only thing is there seems to be some work needed. The engine has a really bad rough idle, i'm thinking timing or just needs a tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor etc) and maybe a seafoam or 2. Any other ideas, I'm gonna ask the guy to reduce the price respectively. Also i think it needs a new clutch, it's got a bad rumble when ur slowly letting it out in 1st to get going...i'm pretty sure that this is what it is as i've had a wearing clutch before and it felt like this. any other possiblities?
lemme know what you all think...thanks.

so i went and cheked this http://vancouver.craigslist.org/car/289320890.html truck out. i really like it; good clean body and great drivetrain. I think it needs a few things though. its got a pretty rough idle. i think it could use a good seafoam but could be more critical than that (plugs, wires, cap, rotor and the usual) or it could even be more critical and thus expensive. What are common causes of rough idle that might be in this case? i believe that it also needs a clutch as it shakes quite a lot as you are pulling away from a stand still. i believe this what it is but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
thanks

that truck sounds like it might need too much for what he is asking, $5000. Even in Denver 1st Gen 4runners with no mechanical problems are going for about $2500-$3000 USD.
