What does a broken timing belt sound like? Ive lived in a pushrod world.

Im also looking at a '00. Looks pretty decent minus some dings n scrapes in the bumper. From what I could tell in the pics, it doesnt have a e-locker. I dont see a hint of orange on the button.

Is a 4runner expensive to maintain or mod? I still cant get over how these are so much cheaper than everything else Ive been seeing.

How is offroading an auto? Does having a stick benefit more for getting out of sticky spots? There are some pretty decent deals I have skipped because of automatic.

I might as well rent a uhaul if moving a load like that is only gonna happen once

I towed a 5x8(10?) with a '13 sonic turbo from Seattle to OKC once. Pretty sure that car was not rated to tow anything but it worked.

Can I tow a uhaul trailer with a 1st gen taco? Like a 8x12? Thats probably too big but still.. inb4 dont tow huge loads safety blah blah blah. I know all this already but not what the taco can do.

Seeing a mention of post EMP... Is there a recommended carb and distributor to swap a 3.4 over to the old way of getting around? Or should I just keep collecting bug parts?

What is Toyotas oem brand? Like with GM they have AC Delco and Ford has failure Motorcraft, and so on.

for the 89-04 trucks, is a standard more desirable than an automatic in performance and economy or is it still a personal preference?

The major think thats sticks out to me about these is parts availability across the world. Nothing lasts forever, nothing is perfect. I expect repairs to come my way. Hell, Ive been tempted to do all this in a baja bug!

Eye opening. Thanks for the honest reviews

Its a mix of both. I really dont want to go for something easily affordable, like a M1009 or M35A2, or the big 3 and something break and I get stranded in another country because those vehicles are not common. Or go broke shipping a part over night. The vehicle plays heavily on what travel I can...

Sorry for constant questions, you guys are being a huge help for me tho! Would it be worth getting something with toasted head gaskets and replacing them?

Anyone know what supercharger this is? I read somewhere it might be a B&M. It doesnt appear so from the ones Ive seen.

I have a turbo one saved in my list, going for 4k. A days drive for me so thats out of the question. I didnt think they were that rare from the few i found across the nation. I need to keep in mind that im not as young as I used to be, so swaps are only in the 'if it needs to be done' category...

I love pain? Is the swap hard to do? Im no stranger to doing engine or trans swaps... 95 taurus 5spd conversion, 98 blazer motor swap, 87 Fiero with 3800 supercharged series 3 swap, 70 Deuce and a Half trans and diff swap, 08 aveo trans swap... not afraid of building a new harness or welding a...

Something about the under powered vw anything makes you smile. Hitler had it right. :LOL: The main issue with the gm full size is tie rods and balljoints. Then comes the brick of gold driveline. When it breaks, it breaks and you are out a brick of gold. In the diesel sense anyways. @Pappy, what...

I did watch some 22re supercharged videos last night, Super charge 22r and cammed 22r to give me ideas of building a carbed 22re up. No way I can leave the truck stock. Power numbers with that.. I havent seen a thing so it just makes cool sounds at this point. To give everyone an idea about...
