1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Saw the entire build in FB, dude did make it

 

He SAS this one, there were pics of him at Moab in it on FB

 

I hope he dropped a 5vz in. Imo, both the 3vz and 22re are pretty worthless. People who say the 22re is bulletproof just hadnt had theirs pop on them yet.

 

You can scroll through that post. Last one is of him in moab

 

Hey hey 22re are badass

 

4ye>>>

No one knows that engine exists. Toyota barely even makes pushrod engines, this is such a weird engine for them

 

The engine with zero aftermarket support because no one has ever heard of it.

 

Heard of what

 

I have no idea, what were we talking about?

 

They make plenty of parts for it. For forklifts....

 

My apologies! Couldn't think of everyone, and didn't want the post to be too long!! Besides, I thought you were a bit older than the young pups!?

 

My opinion is justified. I grew up watching the one in my garage nickel and dime my parents. Could never go more than a year or two without some sort of coolant or vacuum related issue. Then the head gasket popped at 160k, and issues still exist going on 30k after that job. All work was performed by dealership mechanics, and this thing was/is driven like a grandma wagon.

To top it all off, its downright dangerous in traffic with its 110 (maybe going downhill with a tailwind) horsepower.

 

It was in a number of jdm cars. Nothing in the us really had it other then forklifts lol

 

The 3.2l v6 in the E320 is still going strong at almost 400,000 miles, only thing that’s ever broken on it that’s major was a flexplate. Original head gasket and valve cove gasket. Need to do the head cover gasket because it’s leaking oil like crazy. Doesn’t burn it though!

 

He's pretty young

 

I just dont see how the 22re earned a reputation of being bulletproof. Imo, as far as truck motors go, that title belongs to the 3rz, 5vz, 1GR (post headgasket recals on both of the later engines).

 

If placed in front of a firearm, the 22RE is mildly bulletproof until prolonged shots are fired.
