That's over $17,000 of brand new parts...** approx. 1/28/2023, I noticed smoke in the exhaust and was told that it is likely a leaking head gasket. Long story short, I decided to do an engine swap to a 3rd GEN engine, 5VZ-FE,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V30K7ePLMM. I removed all of the components from the 3VZ-E engine, bought an engine lift (cherry picker), and halted due to lack of time and other more important projects.So, if you are someone that wants a sweet offroad rig and knows how to install/rebuild/connect a motor, than bid on this. If you are not interested in installing/rebuilding a motor, then this truck is not for you.
