Marry xmis everyone!

005,
I'm trying to get rid of high amp draw lights. I only have a 94 amp alt. Next is install the 10 led rock lights I have. Then plugs and fix my cold start injector. I just woke up I will try and get a pic of the led rock lights later.

There is a vendor that sells toyota Alternators but he turns them into 130amp alternaors. He is an eBay vendor. If my alternator easnt so brand new I would probably go to him to get a higger output one. If you're interested ask Chefyota4x4 he knows which ebay vendor it is. I forgot to bookmark the link he sent me.

I gave up on the small Toyota alt. they are only 40-60 amp. My buddy has a respun Toyota alt and it does ok. It was just cheaper to go Chevy for me and I can get one at any parts store in stock if needed.

Redeth005

So true. I wish us 3VZE guys had an option to use those alternators. We have no space in our engine bays.

No new real updates on my pig, had to replace the front u-joint. This is the 3rd one in little over a year so instead of a cheap parts store u-joint I'm trying the trail creeper joint. We will see how long this one lasts.

Buddy of a buddy made a video of a real wet wheeling day.


So I'm finally getting around to doing update! About time right. Lol

3rd
I had a wheeling trip planed in 4 days and told the wife I was going to go mount my rear winch and that dam saws-all got away from me. Lol


So that started the redo of the cage and back of the truck.

That Dodge crew cab looks pretty cool, should make an awesome tow rig! Your cage mods look good, liking the 39.5 Iroks too! I always wanted to get a set of those re-entered H1wheels,maybe someday, lol.

Went wheeling on the 1st (hang over run 2015). Had a good time, beat the ˟˟˟˟ out of my truck. But it didn't brake.
Sold the RE on the 2nd for $800. So the new motor is going it.



Its a 1996 2rz I picked up for cheap. looks to be in really good shape. I going standalone and turbo. This is all new to me so it will be a learning experience!

rick8282

Just killing time tell my turbo manifold get made. Cleaning up the firewall and frame ralls.

rick8282

Some more small stuff getting finished up.

rick8282

Had to get my fuel system up to the turbo engine thirstiness
1st issue I had to deal with was a new fuel tank. Them dam rocks bashed in the old 1.

2nd new pump on the fixed factory hanger. Walbro 255

rick8282

Finally got my turbo manifold, only took 3 months!?! Very sexy TIG welds

rick8282

Heres some mock up pictures for you guys. Its starting to get fun trying to package all this stuff.




Oh yea and Im useing GM LS2 coils and that custom mount you can see in the pictures. Also sneak peek into my new headlights.

rick8282

So as you can see I could possibly have a firewall exhaust clearance issue. So that and the holes and red paint made me want to fix that and patch and paint the firewall.




The wife was in my shop........


Gained enough room for 3" exhaust I think now.

rick8282

Built a turbo brace/intercooler mount.

Awesome Update! I love your wifes note on the floor!

rick8282

Took the truck to the exhaust shop! Came out good. If your in this area I highly recommend Ira's muffler! (Rob 360-256-0500)
2.5" down pipe into 3" all the way to the dump under the passenger seat with no muffler hopefully it's not too loud.
