LS3.

Do it.

Don't be scared.

Since i have no skids to drool on...i put your sticker on my truck next to Nathan's (@SMKYTXN)

 

I want a simple, reliable smallish diesel motor.

 

You and Nathan are my truck's only protection from my poor line choices.

 

EWWWWWWW

Bob and buggy that fucker with way more power than it would ever need

 

What did you get from Nathan?

 

Gas tank skid

 

Nice. I like those. More than steel ones.

 

Weight savings...since you've totally fucked me with 76lbs of steel up front.

 

You're welcome!

You're going to want that beast on the front

 

I've seen some online jeep folks using early 2000s TDI engines. A great tuner is right up in Red Lion PA. Love what his tune did to my Jetta.

 

Don't start doing what the Jeep guys are doing, we're better than that!

 

I was just reading a article in 4wd Toyota Owner magazine about swapping a Lexus V8 into a 2nd Gen runner.

 

Maybe I'll go 1st gen Tundy! 4.7 iForce V8

 

For a wheeling/trail rig I think a 3.4 would perform just fine for what you plan to do. Did you see the 01 Tacoma prerunner TRD on Baltimore CL for $1000 obo? Ad says it has 167k on it and a rusty frame. Buy that for $800 for the motor and part out the rest to recoup your $$$ back. If it was a 4x4 I would've bought it myself.

How the fuck do you exclaim that there's no rust and then proceed to tell everyone that the rest is so bad the vehicle can only be salvage for parts. Fucking. Craigslist. You kill me.

 

It says "body is in great shape, no damage or rust." He's referring to the body not having rust. I'm guessing the frame and maybe other undercarriage parts are rusty. Interior parts, body parts, electrical parts & motor is worth more than $800 easy. A good running 167k mile 3.4 is worth $800 alone around here. TRD should have the Elocker rear diff also.

 

Go get it

 

#1 Its not a 4x4 #2 i don't need the parts. I only posted the info & link because Mob needs a running 3.4
