MARYLAND TACOMAS

$1900? That's crazy! The motor I have sitting here at work is out of a 02 4runner with 109k documented miles for $950 shipped from Az. To Baltimore.

 

I almost bought a JDM then I did a bunch of research on them. They usually only have like 50k or so miles on them but some parts are different from our US motors. I don't remember exactly what issues people were having but I didn't want the extra headaches.

 

I had to double check myself and dig out the receipt. $700 for the motor and $275 shipping.

 

The 3.4 I bought from them 2 years ago for my blown up 04 Tacoma was out of a 03 Tacoma with only 69k miles. If I remember correctly i paid $1200 for that one shipped to me. Both motors came complete with exhaust manifolds, sensors, intake, throttle body, ect.... just no accessories. Less than 2 weeks after I installed that motor I drove the truck on a 3300 mile camping trip out to the Midwest & down south. Didn't burn or drip a drop of anything!

 

No that would require a step ladder for my wife, she wouldn't like that.

 

This just came into my work. Has a 700hp 1350ftlb of torque Cummins.

 

Yeah, but does it have crawl control?

 

No. I would guess not.

Its probably slow too.

 

is there a stair truck from BWI that follows him around to get in it?

 

When you open the door a motorized step flips down then back up when you close the door. He said even tho his Transmission is built he keeps blowing them.

 

Any of you fellas know anyone looking for a rig? My trucks for sale !!

 

poser

 

holy shit... well at least i know where the replacement DD is gonna come from if the Taco dies

 

I wonder why...

 

If you need crawl control, you don't belong off road. Takes all the fun out of it.

 

Crawl Control is new school's replacement for the hand throttle

 

I prefer skill, knowing when to throttle out and when to take it easy, that's wheeling. I don't plan to wheel my Tacoma, that's what Jeeps are for.

 

Its a tool, just like any other. and IMO jeeps might hardcore wheel better, but tacos make better expo vehicles than anything else

 

I agree there. Older Jeeps will take a beating and keep on going, they crave it. Their stock for stock 4wd system is also the best in the industry. Sadly, the new Jeeps are hideous grocery getters. The "Cherokee" is a joke and doesn't deserve the name, the Grand Cherokee is a minivan, the Patriot and Compass are PT cruisers. The only real Jeep left is the Wrangler which has been pussified with 4 doors and power everything also. Jeep is not what it used to be.
