007 TACO PRO ....

Still here!

 

Friends

I have been thinking

Basically the truck got a new fame and LOT of other parts but the motor has 436000 km + on it and i just had to do some major surgery to it ( NO.1 coolant outlet pipe) and has me thinking should i try and find a extra motor Trans for when this one goes ?

I have a friend who has a 05 T4R that had a new motor out of a 07 tacoma put into it.

he is willing to part with it for cheep $500 ish . Mileage is unknown, he drove it trans is leaking from somewhere.

My questions

I need to make sure this is motor and trans is the same ( I am pretty sure all 4.0L are and there was only the a750E auto for it)

I never pulled a motor out of a 2nd gen is there any info out there on the process.

just trying to keep the 007 Taco Pro alive

Thoughts ?

 

My understanding is 05-11 motors are all basically the same. The main changes came in 2012 model year along with the sai. As far as the trans goes I think they are pretty much all the same with the exception of the TCM unit.

 

Had a good conversation about motors and transmissions for the 1GRFE

Have a look

Sounds to me like the Tacorunner is a winner. The total from Ontario would require an SAI Delete kit or all the SAI from the donor truck. Either way it would be subsequently more than what you have lined up.

 

@Kemosabe ?

 

It’s no fun unless you got to tap something

 

Good so far (knock on wood)


Onto my rear bearings or lack of

 

I’m calling BULLSHIT on this.

 

New sticker on the taco

Anyone else interested in mini bikes?

 

What a mess in the driveway

Bearing adventures have started

 

This is the 4 runner $500ish 122000km

 

Are those leather seats in good shape? Taco upgrade.

 

I thought about putting the seats in it but I would probably sell to try and recoup some money

 

Good point, there’s probably a few parts worth selling.
