Good thing you were in town with family and not on the trails at Tellico! Perhaps a blessing in disguise! Good luck finding a new engine DOC! Go with the newer 3.4 instead of the 3.0 slow!

If you are looking for one from a junkyard, I would check the ones in the Columbia/Florence area, not too many Toyota parts around Charleston. At least I have never had any luck getting parts. Where in Charleston are you?

Have you looked into a Jasper engine Doc? I know Runningboard's (Steve) was running one here from SC, the guy that went to Tellico with us. I have a guy here in Columbia that could order you one and install it, but I have no idea on a price. He's an awesome mechanic, but I don't really know how you would get it here. Let me know if I can help.

I pulled my utiility trailer over and I have my motorcycle with me - my wife and I were going to stay here for a few days and then take the bike down the coast to Savannah, GA to see some friends. I can ride the bike home and my uncle can haul the 4 runner - guess my trailer will stay here - good excuse to come back over !!!
The 3.4 swap my be a possibility - with the limited time available - did not know if the 3.4 was a reality. What has to be done different for the 3.4 ?
I plan on checking with Jasper Monday morning. Played on the beach last night and had a cook out - I could think of worse places to be !!!

I did not buy the $2200.00 4 runner - great truck - no rust but I already have one with that many miles. I'll re-motor mine !

Well I hope everything works out for you. Personally I would try the 3.4 swap if possible, sounds like the best bet. Anyway, let me know if you need anything and I'll do what I can.

Engine will be here by Wednesday afternoon. Basically a long block engine.
Engines are remanufactured just south of Cinncinnati OH .
Free shipping ! JUst about have my engine ready to remove - It is Damn hot here ! Junk yard prices are around $1400.00 - did not make sense to
buy a questionable junk yard engine.

3.4 won't work with the auto trans as far as i know without doing a lot of wiring. There is as yet, no harness that will plug in unless offroad solutions has figured it out finally.
