    Default Trevor's intro



    Hi, my name is Trevor I am a senior in high school who likes going wheeling and being outdoors.... yeah, that is boring what is fun is my rig and what I am doing with it. I had a 93 dodge Dakota for a while and I now have a 1988 Toyota 4runner. The story about it is that I picked it up off craigslist for $1500 and it has a 1.5 inch body lift, on brand new bfg mud terrains, both a hard top and a soft top,very clean interior and exterior with just a small rust patch under the gas cap, re geared down to 4:88 Yeah pretty baller. The bad- no engine so I went ahead and got a 22re off a guy at rising Sun Toyota forums, for 100 bucks. It was sitting in a back yard for a while and had a turned bearing. So rebuild kit we go got that from perfect engine off the interwebs and started doing the work Woohoo! So near two months later and a lot of blood cursing I got a few buddies together to drop the engine just yesterday, now all that is left is to route abd connect the wiring harness and then turn the key

    Welcome.

    That's pretty cool. I'm twice as old as you and never had any of my motors out or rebuilt a motor.

    Nice work.. I have to say, I love the pully come along strap engine and trany install method there. That's my kind of redneck engineering genius level of automotive work there.

    Ha! Thanks doctor duke, that was actually my uncle's idea it worked perfectly.
    Update- she lives!!! I am now playing with timing and idle. She is idling really high but I can't turn her too far down without her sputtering but I've got it at 1100 rpm and that is sounding a lot better. I've got the soft top on with everything rolled up, partly because it looks cool and part because I need to figure out my rear window abd get it rolling up. I will hopefully be on a trail here soon, so if anyone has any suggestions on a good one to take her on for the maiden voyage I'm open
