"That'll buff out!"   awesome vid, sure wish we could get small diesel trucks in the US.

Most impressive!

Ironic. I have a '93 4runner in my front yard right now that couldn't even make it home from GS7.

So what happen to it now Mike?



As far as the older Toyotas the 22RE engines ....Timing chains and Head gaskets are their weak point but they seem to go forever. I have friends that have 300-400,000 + miles on them.

Jackson said the engine froze up on the freeway in Williams. had it towed to his GF's house.
Had it towed here last weekend. Got it fired up. It won't idle. It will run at high RMPs. I can move it in 1st gear and reverse. other than that nada.

I'm not very mechanically inclined but you might want to check oil and coolant for signs of cross-contamination (blown headgasket, possibly from overheating, or if the timing chain is real loose it can wear a hole... happened to my old toyota pickup).
