opps forgot do something very important before I took it in the dirt..... I hate to admit it but here it goes we welded the suspension all up and then tested it and we forgot to weld the rear spring perches.....

so thats what not to do
my buddy Q laughing caught it on tape of the maden voyage- with his custom Marlin Crawler TEE

ontherocks · « **Reply #39 on:** May 15, 2008, 09:04:55 PM »

bajamil · « **Reply #40 on:** May 17, 2008, 02:23:38 PM »

shoot i am not sure what kind of header that is because it came on the rig.... just welded it on tight---ha its running good now soon to MOAB maybe next week... any you crazy guys going to be out there?

so drove it to Moab from phoenix and its worked great.. about 900 miles round trip....engine runs great but no power! I have 5.29 gears with the 37" tires and it can not get up hill faster than a U-haul truck loaded down. Never used 5th gear! I am a bit fustrated as it ran great with the 33" tires but this is just too much for it! Who has the best engine swap out there? I would like to tow motorcycles with it in the mountains.... maybe a chevy 350? i put one in a 1976 land cruser and it rocked but I am not sure with this light dudy drive train on the highway how it will work...any ideas?

Go read the 3RZ FAQ thread. Bigmike absolutely raves about that motor...

they are damn pimp! had a buddy with a taco and it was awsome

bajamil · « **Reply #48 on:** Jul 11, 2008, 09:16:52 AM »

ok so I want to pull 2-4 motorcycles on a small trailer and the associated gear. I am at 7000 ft elevation and I actually can not get over 40 mph going up a hill and there are mountain passes everywhere! I like the 5.29s and the dual cases but I need some power! Dont get me wrong i love the toyota motor but its always at 4000 rpms.... i really dont want a motor swap but if i have too i want to make sure i can go the speed limit with a load up the mountain passes over 10000 feet......now what do you think?

?

bajamil · « **Reply #49 on:** Aug 18, 2009, 04:47:41 PM »

ok so i still have the 22RE in it just did not feel like doing all that work on an engine swap! So after fixing the loping with the new TPS i decided to bounce it around in the yard abit and now it starts ever time but does not rev up. i was sure it was the TPS again so i ordered a new one from toyota as the others were all used. I was sure this was it and nope>>>> it does the same thing: starts right up but when you give it gas it hesitates and spits out black smoke. so then i pulled the codes and it said Nmber 2 a bad air flow sensor or ECU so i switched both of these comonents with ---again used ones but that were off a runnning vehicle and nada.... so she just sits here mocking me ....this is a tough project....any thoughts guys?

Travis H · « **Reply #50 on:** Aug 18, 2009, 05:09:52 PM »

hmm thats a real lack of power, my little 22r can cruise in 5th on the highway with 37s and stock tcase and diffs, i go to 4th on hills and 3rd on steep hills.

bajamil · « **Reply #51 on:** Aug 18, 2009, 06:26:10 PM »

ya its slow - but living at 7000 ft does that too. i think i just found what i was looking for.... a small pool of oil on top of the water pump. looks like a blown head gasket. i think that will cause my rich exhaust condition and lack of power?

? there is no water in my oil though? the oil is definately not coming from the valve cover....shoot....

bajamil · « **Reply #52 on:** Aug 22, 2009, 12:27:47 PM »

i am pretty sure that the head gasket is the culpurate as it starts and runs but just blows black smoke. i am going to order a new haedgasket from toyota and add this teardown to the page.....

I'm Back........

bajamil · « **Reply #54 on:** Oct 05, 2011, 01:27:31 PM »

yep Head gasket.
i replaced it with a new toyota one and timing chain too.
New belts, hoses, plugs, vacuum lines and guess what. Started 1st try!
gotta love that 22RE!
