Whoa! quite a project; I have not one but 2! and right now no running vehicles; 2000 Toyota Tacoma 5 speed manual just pulled the head for recondition, thought a blown gasket but surprisingly it is intact; scratching my head while I look at the block; should I take it off now? or should I just do the head and re do the while thing at a later time? what it sucks is in my garage on the Max Jax half lift sits my 2015 Chrysler Town and Country which had a hydro locked engine; everything is back from the shop been there for a while and ready to assembly but got hurt at work and have been procrastinating and now I need to get one car at least in the road ASAP..having the head off the Toyota taking the block off is not more complicated as steering pump and ac compressor sits on the side and do not have to be off or obstructs the engine out or in; taking that head off WAS a nightmare even worst than what I went through with the Chrysler because I have the lift; it really sucks I can not use the lift for the Toyota which sits outside on the side if the house! during the day is murder under Las Vegas sun, even now! so I am really thinking maybe I should do it the whole thing or not; the tacoma can be raised well on a 3 ton jack and the manual transmission does not needs to come out - I think - if that is the case I will look to keep going and restore the whole thing; I also have the same builders kit, time chain, oil pump, water pump from DNJ, all the parts for rebuild this 209k truck are there so …why not? what do you think? worth the extra effort now or wait for the lift? to use the lift the truck would have to be pushed from the side of my house into the garage; with the whole engine out that is which is lighter but still…decisions decisions

yes was just wondering if you are doing more trents garage episodes on your toyota buggy?

My mechanic didn't like DNJ timing chain kit, I had to get OEM cam chain tensioner

Also, Curious where you rented your jeep.

Gemini bridges trail from rte 313 to hwy 191 in my 4x4 agile MB sprinter. Epic, BUT, Learned to stay off “easy” jeep trails. Bet you can relate 😂 good job Trent. Just subbed here. Congrats on Billy, another mini-you!

Great work there , I have a a 98' Tacoma needing a rebuild on the 2.4. It's a remac. engine which I was not aware of the synthetic oil causing the breakdown after a year. I'm at a crossroads . Buy a remac with 3 yr warranty or try my first rebuild .

For sale Toymotor, well bits of one! I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, I’ve been told it’s either me or the car that has to go! Even Brandon’s left me 😢 $200

Is this build still going or is it for sale?

Do you the contact info for Harris Metal Works? Thanks.

channel went pretty much just as I predicted, lol

What happened to this channel did you give up on it

Ready for a new episode!

Trent, what's the status of this channel?

TH-cam sent me this on a Saturday morning nine months after it came out. tHanks TH-cam.

I don't even use conventional. I get Lucas break in or 30 weight base oil with no additives and mix it with Lucas break in additive. That's the first run, change and the first 50 miles then conventional for 500, change another 500 then I switch to synthetic when I'm at 1050 miles on the motor.

🦋 just wanted to let you know I look forward to videos in the future on this channel. Haven’t forgot about it. I have been watching you on your regular channel of course. See you on the next one whenever that might be much love. And many blessings

The first thing I see after you talked about the importance of keeping sparks from hitting the cardboard boxes was sparks hitting the boxes. Oh well, so much for good intentions.

Think your going to have to pull that motor 😊

Wow, I just really been to busy to look at this Chanel but just had some time this day and ya wow you've been killing it! Congrats!

Thanks for all the information, do any of the videos talk about where the body mount relocations came from.

What size did you use for the frame rails? I just got a double cabe with a rusted bent frame. Nice progress so far.

I thought you couldnt do anything to the bores on the 1gr. Press fit dis similar metal. Toyota claims you need to replace block. Just wondering. Good fortune !

Just found your posting. Those welds look great. Is it the man or the welding machine, lol. Looks great. I know you are very busy with your house and life in general but you need to work on your hobbies a couple of times a month just for you. Work a little on the truck now and then for you. Your doing a great job on both the truck and house but find some balance between the two it will help refresh your soul.

i could never efford that bluetti but man you got me sold brother lol

My apologies, did you have the block bored over or just rebuild with stock parts? My CC wasn’t working but the video looked great!

Hey I appreciate you doing this video. I'm pretty confident I could successfully rebuilding my 1gr-fe. If you see this, I would be eternally greatful if you could suggest any videos that go more in depth or any tutorial that has all the details of torque and clearance specs. Thanks Trent for making this video.

I'm new to your page.😊Paul was talking to him.on one of his videos

Awesome

You should have a camed out V-8 motor to spin those giant tires.

What happened to this channel?

Looks very nice. Just for giggles, try to pulling the diff cover before all welds are final.

I had to subscribe to this channel! I am learning how to do my own repairs on my Ford Escape. Nothing like what you do, but I love not having a car payment. So I will repair it till, well we'll see.

Hi Trent. Have you ever checked out Chad from living the van life? His last video is him taking his full size sprinter van home rock crawling. I thought you would really love to check it out. Maybe get some new ideas for building your vans also.

Great video on rebuild, but you need to put plastic over that Rockwool insulation, cause lung, stomach problems and death

24:59 laughing at the snacks on the cabinet behind Trent 😂

6:54 Allie, I'm sure you're protecting your eyes as you film this welding 😏

5:13 still Allie's wonderful music ❤

2:12 I don't know because I'm not a welder, so I imagine raw steel would be easier to work with and half the price of stainless 🤔

Could you have used a chain link fence post as a cheaper test piece?

If the new pulley's are made in China, better off with the old stuff.

Just saw the belt fix on skid steer. I thought we might see that fix here? Excited to find this while you're still below 50 subs! I'm sure it will get busy soon!

I know you are crazy busy getting the addition dried in...but... Missing the 'Yota' build videos 😢.

Thanks for the info my guy

I'm a bit late on this one Trent ,you should have temporary cross braced the frame before you welded the fishtales

Took a chance and bid on a 25 yr old Toyota tacoma 4x4 2.7 with 20k on the odo. Flawless and perfect when I showed up. A collector owned it along with a warehouse full of other amazing vehicles. I did change out the tires immediately per they were almost 20 yrs old. Timmy C Arizona

Can't wait. About 2 more months and Trent is back in the garage. The house has a roof and the crawler will be calling soon!

The story of Utah weather huh brotha! Love the content!

What's happening with the truck. And why have you not posted anything I know you're busy with the house and everything else

Trent, consider making a short video why you’re pausing this channel. We know you have a major home addition going on but some viewers may not know that.
