Totally worth it. 3.4 looks good in there!

 

Thanks guys, it's a huge improvement over the 3.0!!

Got the stereo installed yesterday... and realized that having a "Shop TV" hooked to a computer is totally useful when looking up FSM stuff, or wire colors on the12volt.


After that it was over to get the alignment done, and have the rims/tires mounted.



I would love to give you more input of how the tires handle... however, on the way home I lost my clutch. Apparently the soften burst. So, I got that replaced and bled the clutch, but didn't get a chance to drive too far with it.

More updates to come. Next up - Remote start, Hot water shower, a gas door, shocks, etc.

 

Looks good. Wish my swap went that quick lol

 

I like the look of the tires.. whenever you get a chance

 

Tires handle extremely well on road. I have not had them off road yet. Much quieter than I expected! Overall, I am extremely impressed with them and very happy I bought them.

 

excellent, thanks.

btw, your front and rear tires are not mounted in the same direction

 

Holy crap I didn't even notice... thanks for pointing that out.

 

NP, I just did some research and the design requires the tires to be in the right direction. Mostly for offroading purposes.

Hey Swim, Nice runner / build. I noticed in one of the photos of when you bought it that the intake manifold was flipped over to the passenger side. I had seen a valve cover gasket install video where maybe only about 2 hoses are unattached, remove manifold bolts, then manifold can be flipped over. Anyway's it appears from your photo that motor can be removed without messing with the rat's nest of hoses etc on passenger side of intake manifold by flipping the intake manifold to the side. Thanks for posting photos. Someday I hope to put another 3vze into my 2nd Gen.

 

Glad you had better luck with NW Team Yota than a friend of mine did with them. His truck would not pass DEQ, had a check engine light and some other misc stuff.
They wouldn't return calls or emails.
