ya i cant wait to wheel it.....if that ever happens

ya it the 2.4 taco engine. the 3rz comes in 4x4s and 4runners and the 2rz comes in the 2wd

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

ya I dig the old trucks man this thing is gonna be hella sick fo sho!

[pumkin toy]

ya it the 2.4 taco engine. the 3rz comes in 4x4s and 4runners and the 2rz comes in the 2wd

would you happen to know the HP and torque differences between the 2rz and 3rz?

[Steve_925]

2rz is 142 hp, 3rz is 150 hp.   i think its like 15 ft/lb difference. i just found a 3rz at a junk yard for $350. they dont know its value

[pumkin toy]

wow!!  i wish that 3rz wasnt so far away!  i would sell my 4.3 vortec and buy it!

[591fab]

you could always have it shipped... might not be too expensive

[Steve_925]

the crapy part is its in the 4runner nd i would have to pull it myself.......mot easy

[pumkin toy]

well if i had to pay someone to pull it and ship it then it probably wouldnt be worth it!   I had found a 3rz here in town out of a 2002 tacoma for 900 bucks with harness and ecu.  i didnt think that was too bad for that new of an engine.

[Steve_925]

finally got a clutch, flywheel, starter, and power steering pump for my 2rz. so i installed all that last night. fixed my leaking t-case. my buddy finished TIG welding my tube adapters to my link bars. got my axle back under it. so i had to flex it. maxed the cherry picker out with my tire at 44" thatrs with stock rear suspension and no springs or shocks up front. theres also no panhard bar, that will proble change the way it flexes

[Ramrod]

just a little

[pumkin toy]

i like the colors on the front axle!  i want to get my knuckles powdercoated orange 

[Steve_925]

i like the 2 tone, but i dont think im gonna go with the yellow. proble green

[pumkin toy]

oh i thought it was green!  thats why i liked it, now that i look closer it does look yellow

[Steve_925]

its key lime!

[twistedtoy92]

lookin good!
