toyotafiberglass - Mikes NEW build

Mike is a repeat customer , back early in the melenium , Mike bought a bed for his /81 , all was good except truck was stolen ..

moving on to 2012 Mike now has a 91 , which he has been workin on for a while , and now brought it to us for a 5Vzfe 3.4L swap

normally running on 37's , we swapped on some shop "rollers" to lower it a bit .



Mikes plans are to have us first do the 3.4L swap , and then later do the body mods ..

Sick build! Def paying attention to this build. What do you mean when you say hi-clearance body mods?

Love to see another 3.4 swap! I can't wait for the day I get the money (and the guts) to do one!

I believe they do .
as well as protecting the flex joint from dirt and debris , there is also an air gap which helps disipate heat quicker
