    Sorry to hear about the truck man, but I'd ask for the GEO Metro. 4g63 turbo swap, it is documented and allmost a bolt in. :waytogo:

    No to the Geo. No one would take me seriously in that.

    I'd rather not part my truck out, just sell it to someone who can afford to fix it, but beggers can't be choosers

    My parents and my dad's friend (toyota mechanic) are looking for a good 2nd gen 4Runner for me, supposedly with a smittybilt on it already, have to see how it turns out. It's got the 3VZ, so if the Head Gasket has not been replaced, that one's out and move on to another, or a Civic.

    I'll take your word for it Bernie, but I'd rather stick with a Toyota.

    I think I found the one 4Runner they were looking for, obviously doesn't have Smittybilts on it, but my signature's got it's image now. Just gotta find out about its head gaskets.

    Yeah, this was a bit rash, but as you guys can see, I'm a Toyotaholic, so I can't stay off here. I'll probably be on more if I get the 4Runner, I don't even care if it's a 2WD, I'll pre-run the f***er.:lol:

    Definitely can't pre-run my new ride. Picked it up today. It's not a 4Runner (all good ones were taken), or even a Toyota, but don't get me wrong, I'm still a Toyotaholic.

    2001 Saturn SL2, thing came pre-pimped out (dark tint and a lot of dealership options) except for the lame wheel covers. Before I get any haters, I bought it from a Toyota dealership, so the money went to the world's best car company.

    I outcornered a Mustang and lost my dad's V8 Ram behind me on the downhill touge!:evil: Thing's nice too... I never thought I'd like an American car as much as I do this. No pics yet.

    You said no one would take you seriously in a Geo. But you get a Saturn??? LOL Out Loud. But wait, let me do some searching, there may be a swap option. Probably not though.

    If I knew you were desperate, we would have built you something a little better. And don't get to proud of your Saturn, I would have smoked that car in my mini - van:doah:











    Btw, you know I am just giving you a hard time. Congrats on you new Saturn:ROFL:

    Nice, congrats on the new car! I like Saturn's, we used to have a 97 SW1 that was loaded, complete with leather. Thing was actually pretty peppy.

    Still have to figure out what's going to happen with the Hilux (parents are trying to sell it to some company that buys cars, running or not, for donations) but until it's gone, I plan on leaving it on the driveway. I'll miss it, so many good memories.
