    Hello all,

    I'm new to the site and also a new member of the "Yota Gang." I have been searching the forums for a while now, and finally decided to join.

    I purchased a 1996 4x4 Taco about 6 months ago. I paid $500 for the truck knowing it had a spun rod. Other than that, the truck appears to be in great shape. I'm now in the process of replacing the engine with a refurbished 3RZ purchased from Toyota Truck Engine. I also purchased the 3RZ Gen 3 upgrade. I'm excited to begin working on this once the engine arrives next week and look forward to any advice you guys have for me.

    Cheers,
    Blaine

    Nice! Poolville isn't far from me at all. I have done some hog trapping there in the past.
