    Yes, I know they are expensive. But has anyone had any experience with their 3rz or engines in general?

    I'd do it but the long lead times are discouraging.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I have learned the hard way Engine or Gear Box work is best done face to face.

    Shipping claims are higher all the time.

    I am lucky to still have both near at hand though when they close the doors it will be interesting .

    Though my days are almost over as well.

    Just 3 tons of fun!!!

    They are a local (to me) shop. I've gotten to the point where I buy most of my OEM parts from them. I'm in there pretty close to once a month.

    Their lead times are because their shop is pretty much always full. I know a few people who have had various work done by them. I've never heard a negative word.

    They are really cool people, that do meticulous work.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Yota1 is respected and plenty here have run their engines. Another option is Sunwest
