there is a guy on here from alaska that has a heavily modified 3.0, and the thing is mean-gnarly. it's like the antithesis of the 3.0

i'll also be watching your rear disc swap. now that i have a trailer (oh yeah!), ample stopping would be a good thing. also, it looks cooler haha

Just called Toyota for crap and giggles, turns out the headgasket recall in this had not been redeemed, that's because it doesn't apply to this year?? It's only 1988 - mid 1994 and mine is a June of 1995 about a year too late... oh well...

The lady on the phone also told me that my 4Runner was one of the last 2nd gens ever made!

Gotta find a good 3.4 now that's the hard part.

an engine swap is actually easier then a full rebuild.
