    Hey Gang,

    I recently had some unfortunate news and my 05 Tacoma, I just bought back in September 2020 needs a new motor (oil pan cracked and now the motor is seized). Any suggestions on where I should/could find a suitable replacement motor?

    Thank you so much for your help in getting me back on the road again.

    Find a used motor between 07 and 11 with lower miles and a decent history, and swap it in. 05 and 06 had head gasket issues, and after 11 had the air pump issues. 07 -11 was the sweet spot.
