What about an RZ instead of the 22re rebuild?

I thought about it and I really havnt decided what i want yet, plans change every day haha. I am rhino lining the floors and building a center console this weekend. Anyone have any tips for when I replace the Tcase gaskets and seals.

So I guess its time for an update.
So I got the body off and made a hoist between two trees ,a 4x4 ,and two cable hoist.


Then got the old body off ,cleaned and painted the frame

Marked my cuts for the bob, made all my cuts with a jig saw. Use good quality blades it makes a pretty good cut.



Pedals installed for clutch

Body on finally

Yeah found it on craigslist. They go cheap here being everybody wants a v8 and the guy needs some money.

So picked up the 2rz today. It came with a rear sump oil pan, full wiring harnesses, and a modified Tacoma dash to fit in a 1st gen 4runner. I'm probably not going to use the dash. I have to order an ecu, bellhousin, and a turbo manifold.
