MARYLAND TACOMAS

Exactly, i'm not in a rush, I have other vehicles to drive. I plan to pull it apart this week, figure out what broke, get parts ordered and go from there. Would love to do a compression test before putting it back together but that's not possible until the timing chain or whatever component failed is replaced.

You happen to know anyone that will rebuild my heads for a good price? I don't mind pulling them and rebuilding them even if there is no valve damage which there likely isn't. 250K miles so freshen them up, new head gaskets, may as well since i'll be right there anyway.

 

I, the shop i work at and numerous gear heads that i know use JB's on Philadelphia rd. Never had a issue with them.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. Any idea what it costs to refresh a set of heads? Honestly never had to do it before besides when having a whole engine rebuilt which is not the plan here.

 

What vehicle are you talking about?

 

Picked up a 2005 4Runner Sport 4.0 V6 from a friend who was the original owner. I believe it has a broken timing chain. He's done a bunch of work to it over the years including a new OEM transmission installed by Toyota. In the last year it's had new coils, radiator, plugs, front calipers and pads, left exhaust manifold and cat along with part of the y pipe, 2016 4R wheels and tires, alternator, battery, thermostat and housing, headlight housings, probably more. Pretty good shape overall and completely stock. Desperately needs an interior detail due to him having twin boys and allowing them to drink milk in the truck but no rips or anything in the interior. Has the potential to be a good running truck again with a little love.

 

It looks good, good shape

 

I think I got pranked........

 

Sucker!!!

 

Well i’m here lol

 

Best turnout yet with 10 trucks.

 

Yes in general it is. Was kicking the idea of selling it around, not sure what i'm going to do yet. May sell it, may fix it and keep it, may fix it and sell it, who knows.

 

Wish I could have been there, Firehouse was short staffed so I'm there instead.

 

More will come from other members i'm sure

 

Columbia Frisco

 

I have a set of front shocks you can have. Literally just took them off my truck.

 

Wish I could have made it but my pos still isn’t running right

 

Hopefully the next meet will be even more trucks. Lets try and take over this parking lot! It was a great time though, bunch of new faces, bunch of great people as always.

 

Got caught up in some "honey do" projects today...next time
