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
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.
I can’t believe that someone would do such a thing to such a beautiful truck
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?
great stuff - was worried the extendo would just collapse hahaha
Im stoked on your progress thus far. Wish you smooth sailing from hear on out!
Thank you!
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!
Great series, I like that you show your mistakes and mishaps. Glad to know not everyone on RUclips is an expert.
Mega Respect for taking on this project! Patience is a virtue.
“Thats what she said” Caught me off guard🤣🤣🤣
It’s amazing how calm you stay when you’re doing all this stuff especially when you have an issue. Awesome to watch 👍
This is great!! I have a second gen tacoma, and just seeing the community around is amazing! This series is going to be sick!
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.
This is great, thanks for sharing the journey with us--looking forward to its rebirth!
Thanks for watching!
Send him money to help him
Insanely inspired by your dedication to fixing this Taco. Props for not getting discouraged!
Thank you!
Wow, Mike!! Huge job!!
You got this!!!
I commend you, this kind of restoration/major fix takes some serious courage and commitment.
Hard work pays off. Keep doing your thing.
videos get better every time love it brother
Looking good!!! This truck is gonna be awesome when you are done! You might be inspiring a project down the road for me
I’m excited to see this build come together!
Nice job man!
Just found this channel good stuff man! I will continue to watch the journey!
Glad I came across this channel! Good work! I know the struggle with fixing broken cars haha! Will be looking forward to new episodes!
The "it's okay it's okay" moment lol been there
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.
Dude your awesome for taking that project on. 👏
Mike you are amazing! enjoyed the video. I sure was hoping it was just the fuse!!
It looks like you guys are real professionals great job
Wow.....I admire you're sand cowboy. No joke l mean that. Looking forward to the journey . With you all the way.
Love the series Mike! Keep up the great work! :)
This was really great to watch. Thank you, subscribed, keep the content coming.
Love the videos brother. You are the man!
Awesome! I can’t wait for the next episode
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
You earned a sub. Love this series so far.

New subscriber🤙🏾 love this contents
Subbed! Looks like a fun project!!
Very brave Mike… you got this :)
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!
subbed.. looking forward this this journey.
love the build, and music choices!
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!
Just got a subscriber my dude! Awesome videos brother
I enjoy ur video brother. Keep them coming
Damn ! I’m excited for this build
Awesome, can’t wait to see more.
Thanks for watching!
This whole series deserves 1 million views easy
New subscriber I love watching this build
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.
Just found your channel, great stuff!
Great job.
You’re an absolute beast man
Bring that TACO back to life!!! Enjoying the videos 👍🏻🤯
Thanks Matt!
Keep the videos coming man!
Nice truck dude and great attitude

Stoked to see this come together. Sub’d.
I love these kinds of 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.
Love it man!!
Siiick! Dude we just start a down hills series and bam no need for a new engine.
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.
I'm hooked!
This is awesome

I remember seeing this truck for sale on Facebook! It’s a shame how someone could do that to a truck
Crazy
this dudes about to blow up trust me
yay 1K subed. i wanna see this thing on the road again!
Badass man !
Funny beer part lol, thanx for the comedy 😅👍
"Big Wheel Keep On Turning..."
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.
So stoked about this build series! Absolute dream of mine to find something like this and tear into it.
This is an awesome series! Looking forward to watching more. I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way but your audio is all over the place my dude. Sometimes it's a whisper and once in a while you'll be right close to the mic and it'll be loud as all get out! Gotta try to edit that out in post production!
Working on that…
Good job so far.......
alright my dude, i subscribed and im hooked.
Keep going man!
New sub here........pretty good content pal keep up the good work!
Thanks!
How did you learn so much about engines? This is fun to watch?
Good God, that poor truck has lived a hard life in such a short amount of time.
Great video!!
yeah! dude! you cool you stickin ti it...
Replacing bearings are not to bad a job.
Engine rebuild can be fun too.
Truck has a lot of money in high end parts actually pretty crazy find!
