Here is the switch. It goes were the power antenna switch used to be.

 

Nice rig good work man

 

I wired it to a 12 volt switch. So it does not have constant power to it. Comments or suggestions are welcome. After I do the timing belt and water pump stay tuned for the front bumper build as well.

 

Looking really good so far. Good luck with the timing belt and water pump. Hardest part is getting that crank pulley off.

 

Thanks man. I'll have to check out your thread.

 

That is what I hear. Working 7 days a week right now and is hard to find time to do any thing. I'll make a tool to get that crank pulley off, that is if my impact will not break it free.

 

What saw u runnin in that avatar pic?? Looks like a stihl. U climb??

 

Yeah, I know what it is like not having time to work on projects. You need to throw some 40's on there and get us some snow wheeling pics when you are done. Those 35 MTRs do pretty well in the snow also.

 

Husky 372 XPW ported and polished by Steve's Saw Service in Lolo, MT. He does really good work. No climbing for this guy.

 

My brother in law's truck has a set of 39.5x13.5x15" IROK's on it right now, that I would like to mock up on her for a little bit of fender trimming. Trying to see how I can sneak some money to Marlin right now to purchase the 4.7 gear set first. Will do on the snow wheeling pics as soon as I can.

 

Nice clean build. I like that you kept it low, makes a huge difference in the end. Whats next?

 

Well, it has been a while since I have posted. I did install this last weekend. Very straight forward. I do have to say that the original timing belt and water pump lasted in this engine 200,000 miles. The belt and pump were factory. None of the bolts had ever had a wrench on them. Very impressive. The belt was terrifying to look at. I will post some pictures of it tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the support so far.

 

Wanted to cut the minimal amount out of the hood this time to keep it from flexing too much.

 

This is what the scoop looks like from the front.

 

Side shot of the scoop.

 

Ran out of battery in the camera. I'll post pictures later of the finished product. I welded the scoop in place on the hood. Feathered out some bondo and primer coat for now. turned out well I think. The scoop is off of a 2000 4Runner sport. Thought that it would be fitting since the whole truck is nothing but Toyota.

 

Looks like its sitting nice and low. How much up travel do you have in the front?

 

Thanks. I have 3 inches in the front right now of up travel. The 14 inch shocks are set at 4.5 inches exposed. I do plan on notching the frame for the drag link to gain one more inch of up travel. I'll probably use a piece of 2 inch .25 wall D.O.M. only on the passenger side frame rail. Then I will raise the bump stops up one inch leaving me with a safe half inch of shock piston left.

 

Scoop looks nice. I assume the cuts are strategic to allow for air to escape the hotter areas?? cant wait to see finished product.

You gonna raise the back up a bit??

 

The scoop will be dual purpose. It will help cool the upper intake. It will not be functional for air intake. The main purpose give more room for the upper intake. I will also block it off for wet, snowy, and muddy conditions.
