Got some pics up. Nice. Looks like you've actually got more room than my 3.0, and that thing has 2.5 times the displacement.

Any plans to move that front end forward?

Looks sick and Ide love the power.

Your gonna need to beef up the frame and suspension If you want to run that type of power. What are all the plans you have for it?

Where's the rear drive shaft? Also, get a rear axle that matches your front axle width.
Not knocking it at all. Looks tight.

PLEASE fix the rear sag though. I can't STAND 4 runners that sag in the rear like that. I haven't seen one vehicle that looks good sagging in the rear. Try to put a heavy trailer on the rear, then it looks like you a lower rider...lol.

Still looks good though!

lol... you know that little '.' key is pretty easy to reach. and it helps separate sentences.
I know you're excited about the build. Hell, I'm excited about it and it's not mine!

Use this:
