I can't speak to where the frame may had been replaced unfortunately. I've listed both the 99 and 01 for sale. I had the coilovers replaced with ICON and replaced the tires but due to other events... failed ac compressor and actuator motor, I'm done. The frame must had been just well preserved...

For Sale: $2000 email me please > [email protected] 16 years owned 2000 Limited OME Rear Springs (I don't recall part number but not the 'heavy' coils) ICON Front Coilover (again not heavy coils) Overall Lift 2.5''-3" approx Gibson Catback 2.5'' stainless IMERIK Panhard bar correction Mickey...

I will pay freight or pickup. I'm in Ohio. PM me please.

Done! On the road again. OP - Back on the road! :) I found a local guy who was willing to pull the 99 engine and drop it in my 01 for $1k. Discovered the frame had been replaced by recall and is in better shape than I thought! Bad News: My left front Bilstein coilover has prematurely failed...

Still making up my mind. lol OP - I don't mind resurrecting my own post lol. I still have my beloved 4R. I've had to put it on the back burner of decisions since I couldn't make one. Although no decision has been made I can say that I've got a possible solution. I also have a 99 SR5 that runs...

How do you even go about getting a JDM engine? I would think that is the pricey option, no? Not being on the coast and all those benefits. :)

There is some frame rust but not as bad as some others I've seen. The extra oil leak/spray was preserving most of the frame for me. :) I went to look at a salvage yard motor today. They wanted $400 and $75core charge but it has about the same miles as my current motor. I'd like to find one under...

Yes, but once the dirty oil started to wear I was getting cold start smoking and assumed I was starting to get oil blow by on the valves. After a minute or two the smoke would clear mostly. She ran really good but the damaged had been done. It was only a matter of time and I couldn't sell it...

I stopped counting after 8k... I was that broke. I'm actually thankful because had I not been driving such a durable vehicle I would have been thumbing it or standing on the corner with a cardboard sign. Not kidding.

I ran into financial drought and neglected to change the oil thinking since I was running full synthetic I could go longer. No over revving, just pulled out the driveway and heard the knock which got louder by the time I turned around and went back home feeling sick over it. Add to the leaking...

2000 Limited w/264,000miles ~approx I wanted to get some input from a group that understands the attachment to the 3rd gen before making a final decision. My motor started producing a low knock and appears to have spun a bearing. (all my fault and not the engine or durability of the 3.4l). This...

In the same boat, cracked lens and hard to find in the salvage yard. Will likely go with aftermarket LEDs anyway that are amber :)

I think some salvage yard OEM would have been way cheaper. Wow $385+ on Amazon

Yup, look to be these here -> Bushwacker 31913-11

I agree, they look aftermarket of some brand for sure.
