Toyota Sienna RAV4 Engine Swap by Dropping The Subframe

Recently had the opportunity to work on this project and since this was the first time that I have ever dropped the engine out of a minivan I thought it would be a good idea to write about some of the issues that I ran into. A little background on the van itself - a 2009 Toyota Sienna with the 3.5 2GR-FE. With around 80k miles on the van, the engine started to develop some problems.
