Well boys. She's fucking fucked mate. Tore down the engine to slap a belt on a time it up to see what needed to be done. Cams wouldn't turn more than a few degrees. Crank still was stuck, only turning about 10 degrees.

So I did what I should have done in the first place. Pulled a plug. Cylinder 1. Then I tried cylinder 3....tried... So I pulled cylinder 2.

1 and two are DEMOLISHED. Three wouldn't come out. From what I can tell the belt was done once (truck has 209k on it). Rollers and WP are all free and smooth, but the tensioner was fully depressed and stuck down. I think it wasn't replaced when the belt was done. So I'm looking for an engine now. Anyone know of any yards within a few hours of central Va with a 2005+ 2uz VVTI?

I'll post carnage pics as they come as a reward.....

shut up ford boy

ecoboost go woosh

Yeah junkyard 2UZs with VVTI are more than I paid for the truck, by double. Plus I'll have a resealed, known good engine when I'm done. I'm not scared of a rebuild lol. Figure worst case I'll get some heads and rebuild them.

Would totally just put a new engine in that sequoia. Small achievement on my 02 2WD tacoma the other day though, now at 301k

Well boys. Picked up the 2007 Sequoia Limited. "Seized engine" apparently meant broken timing belt. So I may not be out and engine and just have to do some head work. I'm going to slap a belt on it and see what happens. Fingers crossed there's no bent rods. Figure my optimal scenario is getting some junkyard heads and going through them.

You've really got your work cut out for yourself. I probably just swap it with a good motor than just trying to disassemble that motor...

Can't wait to get back out on some longer trips.

That's one hot 80. My guess... 37"s?

I concur not much doubt those are 37s. And where is Linus, His 80 would go will in here

[DEV0 E30]

My Luxobarge. Hasn't really changed.

Got an inspection at the dealer, LC500 was parked next to it when I came back to pick it up, so I snapped this and politely said I'll do my own brakes and save $$$$.

I need to get my tint done owned it for years and still haven't. Meant to do it before it hit 100... too late... thanks Corona! I have the hard to find bronze stuff for the front side windows (3 sets actually) to match the bronze factory glass in the rear. Then I'll probably get dark rear windows. And because I live in Phoenix tint the windshield... after I get it replaced but thanks to the insane amount of chips I've picked up thanks to freeway construction I'll wait on that.

Here is mine

Out of curiosity, what size tires are you running on your 80?

NICE....

Nice to not be the only FZJ on here.... Yours is in much better shape than mine though, but I drive it almost everywhere, its a NE origin rig so its got a bit of rot. I have a Prisnu Rack sitting in the shop I have yet to put together, I picked up from the last Mud Group buy in fall of 16 before Zach sold out, How do you like yours???
