I'm on Firefox so that makes sense. I have to go to desktop mode to access them

 

Found another t100 for a good price and MT, 229k miles. Ill have to do the timing belt asap bc he says it was last done at 150k. Buut I'll be able to pocket a couple G's for the build


Fingers crossed he doesn't bail this afternoon, had 2 already do this right before I looked in person.

 

I mean, you could go another 30k be the TB

 

I thought interval was 60-100k? Never had the motor so you know more than me

 

On a 5VZ?

Only 79k miles in?

There are plenty running 200k miles on their original belt

Not recommended obviously but you won't bend a valve if it broke on ya

 

As long as it is the 3.4 and not the shitty 3.0 then you should do it at 100k but it won't hurt anything if you let it slide for a minute and it breaks.

 

Yeeeup 5 vz, just the t100s got the old 90s pickup front end on torsion bars instead of the tacomas. (Correct if wrong) it is a 1996

All new to me, I guess im getting too worked up over the TW gurus

Gonna be funny having someone else test drive the truck and take it home for me, but im just now walking with my boot. Need more time to use it on a 3 pedal

 

I don't hate it. Prices are starting to drop. Not as much on the Nevada side but still should be some good stuff available in the near future.

 

Thanks zane! Does the front end have different lbj setup than tacomas? (Easing my concerns of snapping)

Yea I’m pretty sure it has the same torsion bar set up as the Pre-Taco Pickups/Hiluxes, probably just widened a bit. They were kind of a sales flop in their day since people didn’t want a full size with a V6, but they’re an interesting buy today.

 

torsion bars aren't terrible but getting a good ride and lift out of them is more difficult

 

Just SAS it

 

Solid info, thank you!

The slug had about 6 inches of travel anyways so the ride should be familiar. Happy to keep a MT, more clearance, and 4wd

Yeah this is one of the few applications where a balljoint lift is acceptable TBH
