It's been about a year since my 3.0 let me down, literaly, about an hour outside of town to limp back home with a bad head gasket leak. I tried a vw diesel swap and wasn't satisfied so I will be dropping an 03' 3.4 v-6 in the next week. I decided to get Toy only swaps to make me a bolt up kit since my free time is limited and I'm ready to get this thing back on the road. Looks like there are a ton of threads about 3.4 swaps but I'll go ahead and make an other one anyways.

Here is what I have done to the truck so far
-Total chaos caddy Uniball suspention kit
-sway away race runner shocks
-sway away torsion bars
-wide body fiberglass body panels
-entire truck body coated with bedliner
-4.88 ring and pinion gears
-Wet okole seat cover
-removed interior carpet and applied bed liner
-3" body lift
-custom front and rear bumpers
-new grill
-slotted and drilled front rotars
-aftermarket aluminum wheels and 33"x12.5" Hankook dynapro m/t tires
-high quality camper shell
-yakima rack system
-full new exhaust sytem
-new fuel pump
-over sized steering stabilizer

Sounds like it will be an awesome truck... consider the s/c! Also, lets see some pics!

We did about ten hours of labor today and it's almost ready for the road, should be firing it up tomorrow afternoon. Toy Only Swaps did a great job of making this a real plug and play kit. Sorry for the small picture, I'll post of some larger ones when I get totally done with it.

Well finally got it state inspection ready this last weekend. After a set of plugs and some new spark plug wires the rubber was burning. Huge difference in drivability, though I think the 4.88 to 1 ring and pinion is a bit much for me @3000 rpm at highway speed. I'm thinking 4.56 to 1 and ARB lockers will get me right where I want to be. This 3.4 seems to be the best answer to replace the 3.0, though I had Toy Only Swaps do most of the hard work, it was a very simple engine swap. Fuel burn doesn't seem to be to bad either.
