I owned a 1995 4runner 3.0 slow with auto 4x4, that was the family rig. It was a beautiful truck, super clean. The Wife rolled it a couple weeks ago its not so nice anymore
. O well
Family is OK and trucks can be replaced. So no more than get the insurance money in hand when two yota's show up on craigslist. A 1995 4runner v6, auto, 4x4 and a 1994 pickup v6, auto, 4x4. The 4runner needs a motor and the pickup needs a trans but really needs to be buried in a hole
. 4runner was from Florida and was good shape body wise. The pickup was rolled but ran. The gent wanted 3000 bucks for both. Offered 2 and he took it. So I now have three dead toyota's in the yard.
Before the first 4runner got rolled I was acquiring parts to convert it to a 2RZ/3RZ five speed manual. You guys on here have some awesome write ups on how to do it. Granted most are converting 22R's but hey. So since I have to start from scratch and I'm ahead a couple bucks at the moment the Wife cleared me to do the swap now. Of course still looking for a motor.
I will be posting pictures and questions along the way so here we go. Give me some time, its snowing really hard right now and COLD.
Info about me: I work parts counter at a Toyota dealer. The dealer my Dad bought his first Toyota a new 1988 4runner. First Toyota was a 1989 Supra. Bought the 4runner from my Dad when it had 350 thousand miles on it, still ran like a top.
