They put all that aftermarket stuff in the engine, yet probably didn’t change the oil or do any basic maintenance, astounding. I’m about as curious about the previous owners are the truck itself 😂
My bet is someone with fuck you money who used it, abused it, and sold it when he wanted a new one.
I’ve got so much done. Procharged all the bolt ons, custom exhaust with one cat instead of 4. About the be on 315/45 nittos. But holy shit how sacred I am about maintenance. I literally open my engine bay when it’s hot out because I wanna have her cool off quicker lmao. I can’t believe someone abused one so bad
Sounds like a lot of cope. There sure are a lot of 3rd gen owners on TacomaWorld with blown engines and they didn't all neglect to change oil or check oil level. Across all of Toyota's vehicles, the 2GR has had a bad reputation for engine failures and not always due to not changing oil or checking oil level.
Dude, way to stick with it. Like everyone else said, how in the hell could anyone neglect a Tacoma to this extent?! I applaud your efforts!
you shouldnt have a vehicle if you somehow manage to neglect and break a freaking toyota to this extent
Chufch. Soñgs
I can’t believe that someone would do such a thing to such a beautiful truck
great stuff - was worried the extendo would just collapse hahaha
Again, it floors me how the previous owner neglected it so much in 3 years as to blow the engine!
Probably never did an oil change or any services.
lol if not for that he wouldn't of been able to get the truck
Having a supercharger probably didn't help
@@845ToastT that magnuson supercharger adds SOME power but it’s at the cost of redlining and raping your engine components on every single acceleration. If this is a project vehichle that gets taken to the dunes once or twice a month then that’s fine but on a presumably daily driver the magnuson does more harm than good
Did you notice the supercharger?
Im stoked on your progress thus far. Wish you smooth sailing from hear on out!
Thank you!
Mega Respect for taking on this project! Patience is a virtue.
It’s amazing how calm you stay when you’re doing all this stuff especially when you have an issue. Awesome to watch 👍
Great series, I like that you show your mistakes and mishaps. Glad to know not everyone on RUclips is an expert.
i Love how raw ur content is, how u include ur mistakes. It's real, and it's my favorite type of videos. Thank u!
Absolutely!
I have this same year and model of taco and this is so horrifying to see the condition of it and so incredible to watch the efforts you've put into fixing it! Excellent work!
Good work! I appreciate the time you are putting into this Taco.
Hard work pays off. Keep doing your thing.
Wow, Mike!! Huge job!!
You got this!!!
This is great!! I have a second gen tacoma, and just seeing the community around is amazing! This series is going to be sick!
“Thats what she said” Caught me off guard🤣🤣🤣
This is great, thanks for sharing the journey with us--looking forward to its rebirth!
Thanks for watching!
Send him money to help him
It looks like you guys are real professionals great job
Insanely inspired by your dedication to fixing this Taco. Props for not getting discouraged!
Thank you!
I commend you, this kind of restoration/major fix takes some serious courage and commitment.
videos get better every time love it brother
Awesome! I can’t wait for the next episode
I have a 2016 Off Road with 68k. Boggles me that someone put that amount of money into the truck. Then just neglected EVERYTHING until it was toast. To each their own. Good luck with the build!
Cool can’t wait to see the finish product.
Just found this channel good stuff man! I will continue to watch the journey!
I’m excited to see this build come together!
Nice job man!
Dude your awesome for taking that project on. 👏
Looking good!!! This truck is gonna be awesome when you are done! You might be inspiring a project down the road for me
Love the videos brother. You are the man!
Loving this series!
good to learn specially since this is rare. this is why you have to be careful with any car you're going to buy no matter if its a toyota, just my neighbor has a 2014~ corolla that he drives everyday and only changes the oil once a year, car is full of trash inside and never gets washed.
Awesome, can’t wait to see more.
Thanks for watching!
My voodoo blue TRD OR is sitting somewhere in a junkyard with less than 4k miles. Insurance totaled it earlier this year when I got rear ended. The motor was untouched. Good thing there are plenty of these motors to go around!
Mike you are amazing! enjoyed the video. I sure was hoping it was just the fuse!!
Love the series Mike! Keep up the great work! :)
wow all those connections going eveywhere is staggering good luck young sir
Thank you!
Glad I came across this channel! Good work! I know the struggle with fixing broken cars haha! Will be looking forward to new episodes!
You’re a freaking legend bro 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow.....I admire you're sand cowboy. No joke l mean that. Looking forward to the journey . With you all the way.
You earned a sub. Love this series so far.
Very brave Mike… you got this :)
This was really great to watch. Thank you, subscribed, keep the content coming.
Great job.
Your buddy has a pretty sharp XJ I see in the driveway... I dig it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! That’s mine ;)
When off-roading with a 2GR-FKS, extreme inclines/declines will cause oil to pool in the cylinder heads and could also lead to oil starvation. That may be the case here. Installing a catch can helps prevent the PCV dumping oil into the intake, which also happens in these situations.
Interesting. Catch can is on my list
I bet the supercharger wasn't helping anything also...
How do you know that?
@@firstlast--- the internet and videos of people's Tacomas producing plumes of white smoke after hitting steep angles.
A catch can has nothing to do with what you said. It will not help in any way.
Damn ! I’m excited for this build
Good job so far.......
You’re an absolute beast man
Great series so far man, keep it up!
Great series man -- very cool to follow this one
Dude sick! Good luck! I’m hooked! Lol
Spun bearing was my first thought when I heard it. I bought a 69 Buick with a big block and it sounded almost exactly like that after I took it for a test drive, and wouldn't stay running just as you experienced.
Great video series, keep it up man god bless you.
Great job man, looking forward to you tearing this beast apart and getting it to the trail! Subd, I gotta follow the progress
Thank you!
This whole series deserves 1 million views easy
love the build, and music choices!
Bring that TACO back to life!!! Enjoying the videos 👍🏻🤯
Thanks Matt!
Haha “nice and tucked away, thank you”
Love it man!!
subbed.. looking forward this this journey.
This is awesome. Capturing all of the epic and shitty moments along the journey. You've got a new subscriber here!
Thank you!
Best of luck. I'm enjoying the videos.
At first I was scared to hear a 2018 taco engine was toast until I saw just how many mods were done to it. If left stock and maintained at recommended intervals, should go deep into 6 figure mileage with little to no issues.
Siiick! Dude we just start a down hills series and bam no need for a new engine.
Awesome videos, I especially like the beer placement 😃😁
We may have to rename you the Toyota Kid. Haven't seen that much determination in a long time. Keep after it.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
So stoked about this build series! Absolute dream of mine to find something like this and tear into it.
Enjoying the content brotha good job 👍 sick truck to …
Keep the videos coming man!
Nice truck dude and great attitude

I'm hooked!
Replacing bearings are not to bad a job.
Engine rebuild can be fun too.
I think the best build on RUclips right now! Crazy that an abused Tacoma can still get you 100k miles!
I totally agree on everything you say!
Hey thanks!
Snapperhead
Subbed! Looks like a fun project!!
yeah! dude! you cool you stickin ti it...
I love these kinds of videos!!
New subscriber🤙🏾 love this contents
Just got a subscriber my dude! Awesome videos brother
Stoked to see this come together. Sub’d.
Just found your channel, great stuff!
Good God, that poor truck has lived a hard life in such a short amount of time.
Combo of too much foot, and not enough 🛢and 🚰 and air, the previous owner wasn't aware if the trucks limits after putting on that super charger. Booyah 👊🏽😁. Keep on keeping on.
Keep going man!
I enjoy ur video brother. Keep them coming
This is awesome
The "it's okay it's okay" moment lol been there
Its hard to imagine the type person that could afford to buy that truck and then treat it the way it was. legend
Probably bank loan. Most people can afford 500 / month.
Funny beer part lol, thanx for the comedy 😅👍
New subscriber I love watching this build
this dudes about to blow up trust me
Badass man !
