I'm here!!! Well, sorta. I am in France for a few more weeks, and then I will be home, which is close to Corpus. No pics yet, my 88 has been a workhorse, and I was waiting for it to die, and the revive it. Next month I hope have the 3.slo rebuilt and installed, to where it can actually be used again. right now it has 315K+ or -, and orig head gasket. But It does have bad valve seals and guides, maybe some broken rings as noted by the blowback(or blowby) and most recently a leaking water pump. But, she has never left me stranded, even tho I used to drive from Waco to NE Dallas everyday with the above mentioned issues, then stayed locked in 4x4 all day on the wetlands project, and the drive home. leaked/burned almost as much oil as gas. Never had any tailgaters!! You Houston folks recomend a machine shop in your area?

Kyle(austin/sanmarcos) Texas
1991 Yota 4runner 3.4 swap,r150, OME Coils , 4.30 e locked camping rig.
Lucked out so far, Bought salvage 1991 toyota 4runner in san antonio for $450 with (they thought) non running 3.0 with 5 speed trans. Got it home and figured out it was an aftermarket immobilizer. 30 mins it was running. Bought 3.4 motor for 300 complete. Elocker i just tripped over at the LKQ in austin. Pulled it out of the housing and grabbed wires they were nice enough to charge me $80!
Broke college kid slowly building a rig. Hopefully this year i will add in more goodies like supercharger,Cheap(haha) long travel, and small addons for camping.
Plenty of spare parts and room mate does the same with zuk/toyotas so if anyone wants to get a trip or do some trading/tire kickin/ drinkin beer and wrenching let me know.
