    Almost EVERYONE I know that had or has a 3.0 hates it. For 3-5 grand, you can get a real nice 22R/22RE motor Toyota or even a 3.4 (earlier year 3rd gen 4runner for example). Even if you were to find a deal and save a grand or two immediately by getting the 3.0, it's possible you will end up doubling that amount on repairs....

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Or rock the 3.0 til you have problems and then upgrade to a 3.4

    You totally could..... but why stress about it while having it, and then stress about having to sell it down the road?

    Trying to find more info on this; specifically the land they "own or manage" but am having no luck.
    Does anyone have a solid lead on how to obtain the details?

    ...although, it's not a zoomable map, so there's no level of detail!
    ugh..........

    All you need to ask is whether the motor was ever fixed under the recall.

    My 93 runner blew a head gasket, it was repaired under warranty and away I went. 100k later, I sold it. No issues with that motor until the head gasket and none after.

    It's not just deer season. We as loggers have been shut down as well. Two weeks no work. I'm very lucky that I am logging for other companies and am able to do so. Others are looking for work because if this. So e may lose homes and or have very hard times as this is the only time of year to work in the industry. It's a five month a year job on a good year. I hold man accountable for not managing the forest and not doing more controlled burns. The Indians did it and the old growth is still here. We don't burn enough and lose everything. It's just sad!

    It's just amazing to me that the obvious isn't. Look around at the growth in just the last 100 years. Places that were once meadows are now forests. Diseased forests at best. Every time plans to thin are released, lawsuits are filed, nothing happens. Then one of the most destructive wildfire seasons happens-thousands lose their homes. Thinning is discussed again and again, lawsuits are filed.

    Doesn't anyone get it?
