@@bennysax1 the angle it was sitting at, oil all went to drivers side and hydro locked it. That’s what I assume since there were two holes in the block and the intake was full of oil on the drivers side
It’s just the off camber and incline that did it in. The oil got in the intake and caused it to either hydro lock or too much pressure and crack the block.
Just buy a catch can. JLT Performance makes one specifically for the 3rd gen tacoma's. It's saved me countless times from a blown motor since I'm doing a lot of steep off camber trails.
Thanks for sharing, excited to see the process thats coming. I will recommend that once you have everything out, put a front locker in. Especially with how and where you wheel, it will be a completely different truck. East Coast Gear supply has an option for a Torsen in the front now. You know how it goes, once you are in there might as well re-gear. It's about to be a fun project. I see tons of good content in the future.
@@TacomaDad oil catch can would of saved your motor. Takes 20 min to install. I don't get why people sit on important upgrades. Hope you get it fixed soon.
Have one sitting in a drawer at home. Never had an issue and I’m 100% sure I’ve done way steeper and more off camber climbs than this. But it’s all good. Never liked this motor/ power on this truck.
Wellllll, yes. Lol. Bent the trailer a bit too from catching on a rock in the park/ camp area. It was a rough weekend on the ol wallet but it was funnnn!
Lol it’s coming along. I just got the transmission the other day. Been waiting for months. 2 failed orders and lots of waiting. It’ll go in the truck soon. I’ll post up what I’ve got once that happens
Do you still plan to SAS the truck? Pretty crazy to see it’s progression. I still remember when you considered the TacoBox and a lot of dudes on the forum were saying it wasn’t necessary lol
Yes. I’ve got to get this motor swap done first though lol. Yeah the tacobox has been cool. I may be done with it if I have to swap trans. Hoping I’m big gonna have to though.

That’s too extreme off roading for me.
I’m old and on SSI, so I can’t tear up my Tacoma TRD OR
I enjoy a nice easy crawl every now and then. Just like to push the truck sometimes. This time may have been too far lol
Why? Why did the engine blew? What caused it to crap out?

Updates?
Gathering more parts now! Made a little bit of progress dropping it in to fit it. So that’s good lol
have same truck..... Howmuch did it take it blow it? should i be worried? always paranoid about transmission too
It’s just the off camber and incline that did it in. The oil got in the intake and caused it to either hydro lock or too much pressure and crack the block.

Ouch, still, worst day on the trail beats the best day in an office.
That’s the truth!

Oh a front locker is a must. It’ll get one. Yeah ecgs is where most of the guys I wheel with get their stuff, so I would too.
Thanks for watchingb
Love the truck man!! Hope everything goes well with the new engine
Thank you! I’m hoping for a completely different machine 🤘🏻
Did you have a catch can on it?
Curious if that is a fix for this.
I did not. I have one in the drawer at home, never installed it. It will help, but only if you keep up on emptying the canister.
What a weekend for you man, whew!
It was a good time though lol. Definitely won’t forget this trip!
@@TacomaDad That's what its all about!!!
Did you ever tune your truck with vf tuner ?
It was tuned a while ago by a buddy with ov tune.
What kind of grade were you on when you blew the motor? Trying to find out how sever it has to be to cause the oil to leave the block
I’m not even sure, it was pretty steep I know that
@@TacomaDadis there a prevention method that can help with this?
😧 were you running an oil catch can?
I was not. It’s in a drawer at my house lol

Holy cow....
Haha. It comes with the territory. It was a fun weekend though!
@@TacomaDad mad respect 😂 good luck with the swap. Found you on Instagram. Can’t wait to see what’s coming!
Bro i thought all 4x4 tacomas had the a trac system. My trd sport applies the brakes to front spinning wheel to send power to the other one. So weird.
So 1st you blew your transmission on the van and then the motor on the rut. You are crazy honey. Glad you had fun
Wellllll, yes. Lol. Bent the trailer a bit too from catching on a rock in the park/ camp area.
It was a rough weekend on the ol wallet but it was funnnn!
Nice rig! So sorry about the blown motor.
It’s all good! I’ve been wanting more power anyway! Thanks for watching
Sorry to hear motor blew
Mannnnn I keep coming back to your channel for the past 4 months waiting to see the new motor. How is it going?? As you can tell I’m excited
Lol it’s coming along. I just got the transmission the other day. Been waiting for months. 2 failed orders and lots of waiting. It’ll go in the truck soon. I’ll post up what I’ve got once that happens
My Tacoma is my only way of getting somewhere I sure couldn’t risk abusing something like that.
It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. This is more or less just a toy now. It’s been a whole lotta fun.
@@TacomaDad Thanks for sharing sir.
it's almost like he asked the motor to blow, and it did!
Yes. I asked for the pos to blow up mid trail and inconvenience everyone. Genius
@@TacomaDad yes, seems that way to us, too
Super excited for the 1UZ swap. Hit me up if you need help!
Me too! Will do man
Would have a catch can prevented total Engine loss
Tacoma is not a good platform for crawling. IFS and an engine prone to blow at steep angles.
Beg to differ.
Plenty of people out there hitting knarly lines with ifs Tacomas. Warfab guys, Marlin crawler and others.
@TacomaDad Guess if you drop 40k on suspension you can make anything work.

@@TacomaDad well, if you get rid of it I want it 😬 lol marlin no longer makes them! Nor do they sell the parts to build it. They just gave up on it.
Oh no way! Why do you think the motor failed, because of the slope or just mileage? How many miles does it have? Man that sucks! I’m sorry
It’s only got 41k lol
Mainly the slope and off camber. I’ve been in worse inclines and more off camber but this together just did it in
@@TacomaDad man I can’t believe that! Totally stinks.
No it’s all good. It’s for the better
Let’s ruin a brand new truck climbing rocks
Technically this was just a dirt hill, very few rocks on it.
But it’s ok, it’s not YOUR truck so just don’t follow my lead and it’ll be ok 👍
That’s it youuuuu blocked! 🤣💀
😂 you’re wild! It’ll be back to new in no time
Sad times man. 👉🏽@welds_taco👈🏽 😢🤙🏽
Haha no! Good times man. It’s gonna be better than ever
More sound less narrating! Great vid tho! Definitely beat not babied haha
Haha I thought I did little to no narrating! Thanks for watching though.
It is a toy after all 😂
