Pulling The Motor And Transmission Out Of The Tacoma! 

Somebody donate this man a lift for his shop. Nice work as always!

Time to do a 5 speed swap into that 4runner! That would be sick!

Thank you for video. Don't have any Toyota, but your work is magic. Just wear protective glasses when you work under the car. It prevents your eyes from falling crap

Good stuff! That's good to know about the wiring too. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming . Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺🇺🇸

love it how you make everything look so easy lol nice work man!

You just make it look so easy mate I wish I could just do that myself lol 👍

Coming along nicely.. thanks for the video 👍

Dude!!!! I love this. I’m collecting all the parts for a 4x4 swap on My 99 PreRunner 🤟🏽

Really looking forward to this build, I had an 02 Taco, it wasn't big enough so I traded it in 2 weeks later for an 02 tundra extended cab SR5, 3 yrs later I traded that in for my 05 tundra Limited. which I still have. I love the first gen Tundra and Taco's. As always Austin, great job 👍👍👍

Dude, you are cranking these videos out, lovin' it!

Oh baby im excited for this video, got my popcorn and a Pop. Lets get into it bro!

This man drops new vids even when he’s on vacation. Gotta respect that work ethic and dedication. This truck is gonna be awesome!

Coming along, always excited to see what you do to it everytime. Also, when are ya gonna finish up momma's 4-runner? Still needs a rear bumper and roof rack!

Maybe it's been addressed in a newer video, but what are your plans for that 3.4? Save it for another swap, sell, keep as a spare? I really like it's a real cable throttle. Maybe I'm just romanticizing, but I like how much simpler that double cab is. I almost bought an 04 back in 05 when I wrecked my 99 f150. Wish I did, I'm sure I'd still have it, but I do like the 4th gen 4Runner I have now. When I was in the army, my unit bought a fleet of 02's, maybe 01's to take to Afghanistan. They got modded with gun mounts and painted flat tan. Only problem was they were cramped when you had dudes with full battle rattle in them.

My 2001 Tacoma is a standard. It has 257000 miles on it with the original clutch

Yeah bro was waiting for u to release a new video even if your on vacation

👍🎩😎

State smog there must be lax, compared to Cali. Nice work and video.

Bro it’s me again when this whole COVID stuff over please extend and invite for me to come give you a hand free of course lol The virus has been so bad for my family I need to get away lost my pops Thursday gone and it’s been really rough for me looking forward to seeing your videos keeps me grounded here in Trinidad I am a trained tech been doing this all my life in Trinidad hope we can chat a bit more keep up the good work and could someone please sponsor this guy a lift so it will be easier when I get there lol

I couldn’t figure out what was off and it was you in shorts first video ever I think of you wearing shorts. Also I was like your 68th sub so I have seen all your videos could be wrong still though

Jus finished my 4wd swap on my 4 dr prerunner turned out super smooth only issue I have is speedometer not working thought I had all my wires in the correct places on the new trans idk what's missing the speed sensor wire is connected but it's not reading speed gotta do more research on why it's not working but nice job on yours. What's your plans for that 3.4 you pulled out of the truck?

Blue Steel - NDA

With your experience parting out motorcycles, you'll probably get back the cost of the Taco by selling the tranny, 3.4 and associated hardware. We all know that every single part of a Toyota pickup is wanted by someone, somewhere. Also, that tranny jack has been a game-changer for you.

Is that a hoist/crane on your back wall? I have been wanting to put one in my shop to help pick up just about everything. I use a wheelchair and am getting older and need more gadgets to pick stuff up. If it is one, is it hooked to the wall or in the ground or both. I am going to get some 3/16 plate this week and will use my engine hoist, but would like to build a crane that moves in a pretty good arc. Truck is coming right along! I know it will slow doing the swap, but you've done it before so you'll get it!

Skid plate, 4Runner, paint

is it possible to re-route the upper radiator hose to the passenger side of the engine on the PD engines? I was able to on the ALH swap on my samurai (see my channel), but not sure on the PD motors.

Which flywheel/clutch did you use? Did you have to mess with the r150f throwout bearing?

Older Rangers are similar in wiring to the Toyota.

when you were moving the truck into the shop i was like wtf running with no engine

My BHW Cam in my passat has 330,000miles on the stock cam. The BHW that I'm putting into my 1994 toyota pickup has a forged cam. Cheaper than a colt cam but better than OEM.

Great video! is this the same procedure for a 2000 Tacoma, 5 speed tranny?

What kind of jack do you reccomend, my truck is alittle tall(around 22 inches tall) and I can’t find a jack that has a long enough reach

I'm in sandpoint, doing a 3.4 swap samurai. Would you be willing to sell an ecm and some extra parts?

Put the 3.4 in the Passat.

Austin give that motor n transmission for my 1997 hilux,,,i fron Trinidad..

How many miles on the motor?

Im sorry but where di you get the fobs for the 4runner please !!!

Maybe you could contact humblemechanic and do a collab ? He is a VW expert, and it would make a great video if you two could get together.

the cams are an inherently weak design with only 2/3 the lobe width of the older VE engines. So even running a good 5w40 they can hole lifters. Whatever you do, do not run the vw 505.1 spec oil. Makes the problem worse. I use rotella t6 5w40 or fuchs 5w40. BTW my 05 golf PD TDI has 414k miles with original cam still in good shape. Luck more than oil i guess as the P.O. ran whatever synthetic was on sale.

Curious why you don't have a lift?

Is the new front diff the same gear ratio as the rear diff.

Hey man by any chance are you selling that rear piece of the drive shaft I’m in desperate need of one

Did you sell the green tacoma ?

You can sell that cat for some good money these days

Please !!!! In This build!!! keep the body of the truck original. looks better

Wish you didn’t have that 3.4 and ECU already sold.

I'm intrested in the template please starting my project like yours 2004 going with 5 speed getting rid of auto trans need help please

Time to invest in a lift.

U need assistant idol ?

Are you selling the motor?

Why do you think that a diesel VW engine is more reliable than a gasoline Toyota? Don't really understand...

Just hope ur not using any harbor freight jackstands, those things had a recall on them, they are dangerous. I got myself a pair from autozone, and the tooth different was major. Much more safety on the autozone ones. Please stay away from harbor freight jackstands guys, take care of yourselves!!!
