Thanks Chef you have no idea what this means to me I was 50 when it broke and of course things were not going good in my life so now I am 60 and I do not get around as good as I used to but enought of that crap it's running.

The sliders are from Stubs Welding I just like them because they were different lets face it as long as there is some good tubing there you are good.

CONGRATS on getting your truck running and back on the road!!! I bet it feels really good to be driving it again after 10 years! That is one beautiful truck and I hope you enjoy many more years with it!

Thanks Ed it's been 3 days and I have 820 miles on it and 3 oil changes I can't stop driving it. How are your trucks running and hows the weather up there we have been in the low 90's for the last 4 days. I need to pick your brain some time about SAS I will be doing mine after summer is over I have a nice welder and I just order a plasma cutter I want to fab as many parts as I can so I will have some question.

LCE HEADER: Had one on(still debating, but I do 95mph on 32's with the orig cast mani.... and its quieter... Not sure yet wut I'll do from here, lol). ... only removed due to having trouble with smog and the 02 bung being in the wrong location. Mine sounded nice. .. but much of that is due to having 2.25 after the CAT and a Borla. Hows that muffler?

Sounds like you've been having fun!!!

My trucks are running good, haven't driven the 4runner as much now that I have my 83'... I plan on getting a new aluminum radiator for the runner before summer. I'm going to be working on my offroad camping trailer project here pretty soon, it's been on hold for quite awhile, I'd like to be able to use it this summer!

Wow, 90* already!!! We've hit close to 50* here, snows starting to finally melt off, it's so shady here I still have like a foot of snow in the front yard, lol.

That's sweet that you got a nice welder and plasma cutter, I really want to upgrade to a nicer welder and eventually get a plasma. I didn't know that you were planning a SAS on your truck, it will be so much easier since you have the tools already... yeah let me know I will be more than happy to answer any questions if I can... I look forward to seeing how your truck turns out!

Is that an LCE system front to back? Or just the header?

Thanks Ed i just started looking at the front end it needs some work and I thought why put any more money in it mite as well just do the SAS. Over the summer I will be installing double T-cases that won't be that hard to do I can start at 5:30am and work till about 9:00am and then it is to hot out for me. This is not my DD if it goes slow no big deal.
