Hi all! My name is James, I am from Maryland and I am the proud owner of a 1994 std cab Toyota pick up. I have owned it for 8 years now it is the reason i am here... I have toyed with the idea of doing the 2jz swap for about the last 5 years. After a lot of reading online I figure its time now that i have another DD (Lexus RX350) My poor little truck has been threw threw hell 3 accidents none of i was driving for or even in this country! It is currently running a stock 22re with a custom exhaust to clear the air ride. And that's about it. So i picked up a JDM 2JZ-GTE and the rear irs. I plan on continuing to run the air ride after the swap. I figure that will help with aerodynamics. I could be wrong. I have come here to try to learn the dos and don'ts of the 2JZ and hopefully get a bit of guidance for the spots when we get stuck. Any feed back or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if i fit in but ill give it a try.

Welcome.
There is a great sticky in the other engine section done by Iboughtasupra. It's a good read and has just about everything as far as parts and info and some electrical links tho your swap will be going into a truck.
Iirc its called 1 and 2jz swap for dummies or something.

Welcome to Supramania James. We also have a pretty nice Other Cars section in off topic with a pretty wide variety of odd cars. Some with Supra engines, some with Toyota engines, some completely unrelated, but still cool (like my Chevy for example). Anyway, enjoy your stay here. 
sounds like you have a good plan! i swapped a 7mgte/r154 in my truck about 1 1/2 years ago and been daily driving it since
if you keep it 2wd the 2jz swap shoundn't be much different. the only thing thats tight is the length of the engine. theres a ton of room on the sides compared to a mk3 so twins should fit easy if you plan on running them. i made a build thread here about my swap but not many people were interested lol
it sure is a nice change from the 22re though thats for sure! and the look on peoples face as a old mini truck screams past there new car or truck from a light is so great!!!
also have a body lift and a set of 30" mudders. and all i can say is boost+mud= :biglaugh:

Thats awesome man! Mud trucks are cool but all im looking to do is blow the doors off of all the mid life crises Corvette guys. Eeeh the mustang n camaros too i guess. Only trouble is going to be the rear.... the motor and trans are in finishing up the front suspension tomorrow. Yeah im bagging it. I have had many cars from the boxster when it first came out the Audi tt an 86 1500 on 44in boggers to a 1967 c10 that was slammed i miss having a toy now my dd is a rx350..... had to get a family car really wanted to get the mkiv but with the old lady finishing up her masters and having a lil one it isnt in the cards i have had the truck for years and always wanted to do the swap. So i guess its time. I think its more supra than pick up but it will be fun. Do you have a link to your build?
yeah heres my build thread.
