What I want to do is get rid of the turbo motor and just go 22re. I'm lucky to put on 3,000 miles a year on my rigs! I live 2 miles to work, and the mountains I play in are less than that! I bought the truck knowing that it came with a r151 tranny and that the motor is tired! Body wise, it is in really good shape for the age and mileage of this rig! The frame still has the black paint on it, with very minimal surface rust on any of it! I love this body style, and I want to do this buildup right! Originally, I wanted to keep the turbo setup, until I started to see what motors and turbo rebuilds cost! Yeah, 143 hp sounds really good to me, but I really don't care about hp, 100 hp will be fine. This is going to be my DD, wood hauler and play truck! I just spendt the last 11 years driving a 85 nissan 4x4, that did everything I asked it to do and then some! But, I wanted a rig that has possibilities, potential and a long list of aftermarket stuff! Nissan, didn't have any of that, unless your got a shop full of metal working equipment. Yeah, my dream toy would be a extra cab with a 3rz in it! But that will be later down the road, maybe my next rig! This is the truck I will be learning about toyota's with! I appreciate and thank you all for your ideas and support on helping me with this project! I'm sorry if I got you guys confused, any help/ideas are greatfully appreciated! Hopefully this clarifies things!
