Finding an engine bay this original on a classic 4Runner is getting rarer by the day.

Even though the motor is seized, Pablo takes a step back to appreciate what makes Mr. Krabs a true time capsule. In this clip, Pablo points out all the factory vacuum lines, original emissions equipment, untouched stickers, and factory components that haven't been hacked up by past owners. Hit play to see a super clean, bone-stock layout before the teardown begins!

Will it run long enough to get off the trailer? 🦀⚡️

Meet Mr. Krabs. 🦀🚙

Every great shop project needs a name, and Pablo and Chayton’s latest rescue mission has officially arrived. This non-running 4Runner rolled into the shop on a trailer, looking like it’s been through absolute war. Is it rusty? Yes. Does it currently start? Not a chance. But that’s exactly why we love bringing these classic Toyotas back to life. Hit play to see the very first look at Mr. Krabs and drop a comment to welcome him to the shop!

Tackling one of the trickiest leaks on the 3.5L V6 engine!

We had this 2017 Toyota Tacoma in the bays to fix a leaking rear coolant crossover pipe. Because of where this housing sits on the back of the engine, it's notorious for hiding slow coolant loss until you catch that sweet smell under the hood or notice your reservoir dropping. The team got the upper intake removed, prepped the block surfaces, and installed a fresh pipe assembly with new gaskets to keep this 3rd Gen running cool for miles to come.
