Finally Have a New to me Truck

[91ToyTrck]

Well guys, after about two weeks of looking on the internet and driving everyone up the wall I finally have myself another toyota pickup. I know everyone is glad to hear this so I dont have to keep saying this one and that one all the time. I would like to thank Alex M. for all the driving that he has done for me in finding a truck and thanks to everyone else for all your thoughts and putting up with me...lol.

91 Toyota Pickup xcab red 4x4
3.0 5spd 140K ( rebuild at 90K ) top half of engine, clutch, water pump, and timing belt

Now comes for spending some money and having some good times.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now find you a SFA and SAS the thing or 3.4L engine swap because you are going to long that headgasket issue the 3.0 has.

::Whew::

Glad we finally got this over with!

What do you mean Roach? It's had all the toyota recall done to fix that headgasket problem.

[EVILRoach]

3.0s are known for there headgasket leaks between cyl 5 and 6. You can have a recall done to have it come back again around 60-100k miles. There really is no fix for 3.0 most just deal with it or swap in a 3.4L since they are pretty much a drop in/bolt up deal.

about damn time..... thats for sure. i like it. looks real clean and i like how the original graphics are still on there nice. now lift that puppy up there on some 38's, SFA, and some crazy articulation skills! 

[91ToyTrck]

That is a good point Roach. I know that it can come back but it's less likely to happen once you have the recall done ... you know. How much would it cost to buy a 3.4L motor anyways? I'm sure it's not just that simple - what about the computers?

[SD YODA]

if you look around some of the sites you'll find swaps out from wrecked or parted out vehicles..... id say a motor swap and computers would be around 1000-4000. kinda broad but it all depends on the deal you get if you find one.

[91ToyTrck]

Yeah I guess that's a good point, BUT can you really just swap it out. I'm sure you would have to buy a clutch / fly wheel to match the 3.4L motor. I guess I'm asking if anyone knows a write up done for this swap? I'm not planning on that for awhile anyways, but it's good to keep handy.
