What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Picked up a well loved softopper off facebook for $100. Already having a black one, this seemed like a fun deal to be able to swap out for another color and also have a backup if one was to get damaged again. (First one was vandalized back in January this year lol)

Couple hours, simple green, and a drill brush, this thing looks really good again. Had all those nasty black spots all over it from age.

White truck is the before. Silver is it now

 

Hello, pretty new here. I got a 2015 Prerunner at auction for cheap. Only thing listed as wrong with it was "bad motor".
Spent a few days removing both the oil pan and oil pan subassembly and found out the cause - a spun rod bearing and a buggered up crankshaft. Roughly adding up parts to properly fix it is getting expensive.
With that, does anyone know a reuputible place to buy a reman/new 2tr-fe?

The truck used to belong to a smaller utility. If I had to guess they probably changed the oil based on miles, and didn't account for engine idle time, which meant the oil was getting changed late for ~230xxx miles.
