SOLD!

For sale is my 2001 Taco, with a 100% rebuilt 1KZ-TE JDM turbodiesel swapped in along with loads of other work. Reason for the sale is that I have had a change in my financial situation and need to part ways with my beloved rig.

For the nitty-gritty engine build details, see https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/anothernords-jdm-1kz-te-diesel-swap-2001-tacoma-3-4.460113/

This truck is in great shape for it's age and mileage. The paint is in great condition and there is NO major rust other than the usual light surface rust. It has lived in CO it's whole life and the condition of things shows it.

But on to the interesting stuff...

This truck has been personally swapped (besides machining) a JDM 1KZ-TE diesel from a 96' Hilux into this rig. It is a turn-key rig. Just hop in and drive.

Engine specs: (built September-December of 2016)
- 1KZ-TE, I4, 3.0L, indirect injection, turbocharged, intercooled
- Estimated 175 HP / 350 ft-lbs (Feels faster than the 5vz with a TRD SC)
- 23-25 MPG (this will improve as the engine continues to break in)

Full list of recent work/features:
Engine:

FAQ:
"What's the price and mileage?"
Diesel Toyz, up till recently, charged $20,000+ to convert a truck. Now, they won't even do a conversion on a 1st-gen, and they're only selling already-converted, newer trucks. So, I'm asking $19,500. Considering the engine is essentially NEW, the time invested in labor, AND there's a nice truck to go with it, I believe I'm pricing fairly. The body and rear axle (hubs too) have 276k on them. I know the mileage of the rest of the truck is high, but almost everything mechanical has been replaced or is new.

"How to I get this registered?"

UPDATE: certain states don't have emissions testing for vehicles older than 15 years - check with your local DMV. If that's the case, just show up to the DMV, pay them some money, and walk out with your plates!

Otherwise, but you must register it in a county that does not require emissions testing. This truck is equipped with an engine that was never sold in the USA, and therefore does not have an EPA certification to which it can be tested, and will not pass, even if it is "cleaner" than any diesel sold here. I realize it limits the potential buyers, but that's just the way it goes.

"So, is it hard to get parts?"
Not really. Roughtraxx 4x4 in the UK has a TON of parts on the shelf for this motor, and everything else can be found on eBay from JDM importers. I never had any trouble finding stuff. For example, you can order OEM Toyota oil filters for this motor on Amazon

"What if somethings breaks, or there's a wiring issue?"
I will include all my wiring diagrams and spreadsheets to the buyer, as well as all other documentation (pictures, service history, which I have kept down to the T), I will make myself available via email or phone to help troubleshoot if something goes wrong, since I built the thing!

"So, anything else wrong with it?"
Here's a list of all tiny issues that I can think of:
- No cruise control (the battery takes the place of the actuator, and you'd need to fab another throttle bracket on, but I will include the actuator if someone wants to add it)
- Radio antenna has been removed (I took it off because it hits the CB antenna, but I will include the antenna if you want to put it back on)
- Tailgate looks nice from 10 feet, but has some dents and scratches, and is sorta delaminating on one side (I will include a spare tailgate that just needs a tiny bit of bondo and then color-match, or we can work that into the price)
- Driver's seat trim panel missing (I kept kicking it off so I just removed it)
- Cracked lower rocker panel plastic trim
- Various scratches, only a couple actual dings
- Tiny bit of surface rust on bottom of tailgate (see picture)
- Small hole drilled in dome light for mounting a reverse camera switch
- Scratch in paint on dash (see pictures)
- A few stains on the carpet


"What about service history?"
I have a 100+ line spreadsheet documenting everything I've done personally to the rig. You're welcome to check the carfax on your own. VIN number is 5TEWN72N61Z864680

There's my honest list of all the "little" things. I'm listing every little thing for full disclosure, but for not being a show truck, it's in darn nice shape.

 

DAMN if it was a 4 Door I'd offer to trade you straight up for my TurdGen

 

Thanks guys! I would love to see if there's an enthusiast out there that can enjoy this thing!

I should add that this is in no way a "project vehicle". It's turn-key. What little things are left (painting exhaust, fixing scratches, adding boost gauge) I will be working on in the coming weeks anyway.

 

I'll be likely finishing the last odds and ends on this thing and listing it for real. It may also go on eBay but I'd rather it get sold to a fellow TW member or Yota enthusiast!

 

Just curious, what's the towing capacity on this? I noticed you said it has to be registered in a non-emissions county. I live in California, do you know if it would it be legal anywhere in the state to register it? Does it have any emissions system in it?

Why you thinking of selling it? That thing is badass.

 

Legally, the towing capacity won't change unless the whole truck is inspected and certified by a qualified engineer. The motor might pull a blue whale, but it's still the same truck stabilizing and stopping it.

 

Interesting. Never thought about it like that.

 

It has to be registered in a county that doesn't have any required emissions testing because it has an engine that was never sold in the US, and therefore has no EPA emissions certificate by which I can be be tested to. So unless you live in/have a residence in a place that lets you register a car without handing them an emissions test paper, it won't be legal to register.

To answer your question, it does have EGR, but it doesn't matter because of the EPA deal.

And I'm looking at selling it for financial reasons as stated in first post. Thanks for the kind words!

This is correct. Towing capacity is based mainly on braking and suspension stuff and the weight of the tow vehicle. That said, it tows great with the torque curve of the 1KZ.

 

Awesome truck. Does it have a/c still?

 

Yep! The only thing it doesn't have is cruise control, since I used the spot in the engine bay for the 2nd battery.

 

Ok, guys! Big bump - I'm selling this for real - TONS of pictures have been added to the first post. Thanks.

 

Good luck! Awesome truck!

 

Wait, I thought this was your "girlfriends" truck???????

 

Scottsdale has emissions check, so nono for smitty. But me, hmm, if I had the scratch.............................
Besides he wants to sell it to a Yota enthusiast.....................

 

That's what loans are for my friend.

Kidding, don't get yourself into a hole if you don't have to.

She's up on eBay if anyone wants to throw a bid:

Nice rig!! I've watched your thread from day 1! If this was a DC I'd be all over this!! GLWS

 

Bump! 3 days left on the eBay auction (lots of watchers)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/282538677041?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

 

don't think many banks will give out a loan for that much more than what bluebook value is.

Nice truck BTW.

 

I know I know, I was joking.

However I did just drop the price! /bump

 

Bump! See eBay listing since Photobucket is a terrible cesspool of a site:
