My sig tells it all. It's been sitting in the garage for over a year & a half and I can't afford to fix it right now.
When I get the funds I've decided to do the 3.4L engine/tranny swap with the Off Road Solutions kit and the addition of the TRD supercharger. I love the truck and plan on keeping it long into the foreseeable future and the engine swap makes more sense for me.

 

I know there's some place here in the US that sells a forged crank, as well as lots of other built up 3vz parts, just can't seem to find the page at the moment.

 

just got a 95 4runner with the 3vze and will be getting rod and main bearings in tom orrow. has a knock and i assume its the #1 bearing but will be replacing all. still runs exceptionally good though??? oh yeah, its a toyota!!!
