If it were my truck, I'd look for a reputable remanufacturer that provides detailed build specs and a solid warranty. Even with a Toyota Yaris 1.5L 1NZ-FE engine in another project, I've found that warranty coverage and the quality of the rebuild matter more than simply finding the lowest price.

I've been running an Alu-Cab Gen 3 on my 4th gen for about a year now and love it. These car rooftop tents are built like tanks and handle weather like a champ. Setup and breakdown are fast, and the low-profile design keeps wind noise minimal. I’ll try to snap a pic this weekend and post it here.

I had my 5VZ-FE rebuilt last year, and while I love knowing what’s in it now, it cost more than a low-mile engine swap would've. If I did it again, I’d look for a Toyota engine for sale that’s already been compression tested and inspected. Rebuilding gives peace of mind, but so does a clean...
