Just bought this tonight .. 3 slow engine toast , but otherwise in awesome condition

build it or part it ?





might just part it out ... I duno ?


.

 

Why not fix? Tis a nice toyota. I would.

 

How much you give for it???

 

I dont really need another vehicle .. or for that matter , another build project .. but it is now in the "stable " .. just not sure what to do with it yet ?


.

 

not sure what you mean ?

what did I pay for it ?


.

 

^^How much did you pay for it?

 

why ?

this is not the question or answer i'm lookin' for ... !!


I'm just wonderin' what the heck I should do with it ? I'm thinkin' i'm gonna do a "stupid" build .. or maybe freshion it up for my sons 16th bday presant

duno ?

Well asking how much you paid for it would give us an "is it more worth it" or not kind of idea.

The 3.0 is not a complicated engine(Compared to most). If you plan to do the work your self pull it out and repair unless the block is damaged in which case a total engine replacment is needed. You can get used Japanese motors pretty cheap and low mileage or buy a crate motor from some repuatable company....

 

hows the rust? you could get a pretty penny for it up here. 3.4 swap it for your son?

 

Hmm... now who put manual lockers on there..

 

Build build build!!!

 

If you part it i want the gas door...oh wait.


Hehehe


BUILD IT MAN!!

 

my son is not interested .. (now I know) he wants a car ..


I paid 5 hundred for it ..
i'ts and SR5 with the seats , guages and so forth .. not sure on the gear ratioes yet , but as soon as I see it and get the vin tag info . I will know then

 

Look in the drivers door. IF the OEM tire size is 31" then its got 4:88 if it says 225/75 then its got 4:56

 

will check it tomorrow , when the truck actually arives !!!




.

 

Probably wants a honda or something like that huh?
Make him drive a yota, he will thank you in the future!

This is assuming your son is like 16 or 17 and your buying him a car

 

build it!!! my truck is rusted to heck and back, nd im totally gonna build

 

5 speed: Yes.

AT: ehhh... Kinda hard to build a rid around that, unless you accept it (the AT)


Personally, I hate the ever loving out of the H case...

"Why are vehicles with the Toyota A340H trans/t-case so gutless?
(Compared to their 5 speed counterparts with the same motor). Normally, an auto tranny both consumes power and mutiplies torque. In the case of the A340H, the power consumption is doubled by the addition of the hydraulic transfer case, which is essentially like having another automatic transmission inline. But the torque multiplication of the single torque converter isn't enough to compensate for the additional drag. A simple though exspensive solution is to replace the hydraulic chain driven transfer case with a gear driven one. Inchworm and Gearslug are some of the only vendors that make an adapter for this application. People who have performed this mod report increased mileage and performance, most likely due to the elimination of the additional drag of the hydraulic t-case."

 

Clean it up and sell it. Make a couple hundred bucks.

 

I say build it..could be a pretty good truck.

Looks alot like mine..
