I have a 94 2wd std cab with 22RE 5 spd, AC, header, exhaust, Long Travel suspension, Tundra rear axle, sittin on 33s. I must say its the most reliable vehicle ive had over a long period of time. My Tundra is great but i havent even had it a year(trouble free however).
AS others have mentioned, the 3.0 motor was prone to blown head gaskets, warped heads and in some cases blocks. It was under powered and there is very little room under the hood to work on it. Usually when people get manifold leaks, they replace them with Downey headers to eliminate the ridiculous cross over pipe.
Out of the 22RE or 3VZE, im biased towards the 22RE. Theres a ton more room to work on it, its reliable and has plenty of upgrades available.
As far as links to enthusiast sites,
www.off-road.com has a section for these trucks on their BBS.
LC Engineerins says that unless your gonna add low compression pistons to the 22RE, the most you can run is 4-6psi with a turbo kit....unless you can retard the timing alot. Just something to think about.
