Alright, I been debating on what to do with my truck. It is burning oil...like a quart a day. My mechanic has been looking for me a low mileage 22-RE for nearly a month to do a swap. He can't find a decent one; imagine that. It also has a lil passenger side front end damage...I was bouncing up a trail and bumped a tree. Not really a big deal; bent the fender, bumper, valence, and I'm pretty sure it broke the grill some. Doesn't affect the driving of the truck, but the bumper could be pulled out more. It has some new parts; like the rear bumper, clutch, and rear main seal and others...can't remeber everything but I have all the paper work from what was done. I have some other stuff that I may keep depending on what kind of price I might can get and what I decide on for my next vehicle:

-Optima yellow top (may keep if it will fit in whatever I decide to get)
-Helo Maxx 6 Black rims w/ Nitto Terra Grappler Tires (would definately like to keep if I can fit them on my next vehicle)
-I have some 1984 Toyota PickUp bucket seats that I was gonna put in the truck when I did my system
-I have a solid axle from a 1984 Toyota PickUp that would need to be cleaned and rebuilt but is very straight and in good condition
-Warn front push bar, lil bent from hooking up chains and stuff
-Diamond plate toolbox, not the shiniest thing I've seen but could look good if you flitzed it or something like that

The truck is black, regular cab, short bed, 5-speed, 4 cylinder, 13X,XXX thousand miles on the truck, less than 20,000 on the motor (not that it matters since it needs to be fixed)

Thats about all I can think of right now. If you have any questions or comments just post em up. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks.

How much? Any pictures? I might be interested depending on the price. I am only about 2 hrs from you. Can it be driven now if u keep an eye on the oil? Or is it toast and just needs to be parked until another engine is found?

 

The price is undetermined. I was posting up here to see what kind of price I could get to see what I was going to do with the vehicle. I don't have any pictures of it right now, but I'll see if I can get some up by the weekend. It is drivable(sp), but I have to put like a quart of oil in it every morning. I get my truck back from my mechanic today, so I'll work on the pics. Thanks.

When you get some pics email them to me. deanmatt at hotmail dot com I am interested, but would need to know a price and see if I can locate an engine.

- I dont mind you keeping the exta parts as this would be a DD work truck for me. I have an extra set of yota rims and I think tires as well.

 

I should get some pics up Sunday. I'll try to figure out some kinda price to work with then.

I should be able to post some pics tomorrow evening. I took some pics and my buddy will have to e-mail them to me. We didn't have the cord to the computer.

Sorry for not respponding more, I am looking at severl trucks and figuring out how to pay for yours and do engine work was just something that is hard for me to figure on esp when there are so many regular (non-tacoma) pickups out there.

 

Hey man, no sweat. I was just looking to see what kind of interest there would be for my truck to see if it would be worth selling it or not. I went to talk to a different mechanic and he told me the best thing to do, if I wanted to keep the truck, is a remanufactured motor from Jasper. It's gonna be less than $3,000 and I get to keep my yota, which I do love. The main reason I was contemplating selling it was because my mechanic, that usually works on my truck, told me it would be about 4-5 thousand dollars to swap another motor in. So, no worries man. I ain't mad or anything. Hope you find you a pickup, I enjoy mine immensely. Take it easy.
