Alas!
The big green stationary machine runs! Glad to hear your making some progress boys!

Jayson, I need to talk to you about the camera if you haven't already gotten it... I'll call you tomorrow, or you can call me if you find a convienant time.

 

That sounds sweet! Glad you did a Toyota swap and not a GM swap like some have done...

 

Congratulations. I'll have to race you (so you can spank me) next time I see you around town.

 

i accept all challengers, unless you turn :chicken: before then

 

Thems fightin words boy !

 

ok its update time again, several pictures of the for now finished fuel system, a side shot showing the final underbelly clearance, and of course everyones favorites. . . movies of the supra motor running. I couldnt get any driving around movies b/c i'm home alone, but as soon as i get someone to film me i'll post up a movie of it driving around.

 

all pictures linked to help out the 56K people

And now for the movies, please right click and "save as" to save bandwidth for future viewing. Dont kill my bandwidth or i wont be able to post videos anymore.

Startup and some revving


full idle from under truck


edit: fixed movie links, didnt think file extensions were case sensitive

 

if under the new rules this should be in fab please move it

 

having technical difficulties with the startup and rev movie, it shows up as 7.8MB on my CF disk but only 4.1 MB when i upload it. Any ideas ? Its the much more pleasing video of the two anyway, cant imagine why it wont work.


edit: looks like i just exceeded my filespace limit it works now. gonna need help posting any future videos

 

Great job Jeremy! That thing sounds bad a##
Are you still planning to make it to Tellico? I want to see that monster on the trail

 

well the main problem i see is faith in the truck. My college graduation is the saturday morning of the trip so if i go i wont be leaving till lunch time saturday which means i dont get to caravan with anyone. Now if i had a support group that would help me out of the truck died i would have no problem chancing it but that many hours on the road by myself with an untested platform . . . i dunno. If i get enough seat time in between now and then i'll definetly be there assuming i get the following done:

a REAL air intake is the most important and probably most difficult task (no idea when or where)

get my water temperature gauge installed and 100% functional (scheduled for wednesday this week delivery)

get my electric radiator fans hooked up and 100% functional so i can drive it for more than 5 minutes(also scheduled for wednesday deliver)

get a real exhaust made up (pending travel to a local shop when i can drive it more than 5 minutes at a time)

figure out why my brake pedal is so soft, i think theres just some air left in the line but damn i sure bled them alot for air to still be there.


optional things i need to get done are my OBA to run the air locker and a tcase mounted e-brake

 

what about the ARB compressor?

 

"optional things i need to get done are my OBA to run the air locker"


thats what i was talking about, i have to hook it up. I already dropped the ARB/5.29 3rd in there.

 

trade ya!... lol.... my wife is telling me no more mods for a while. doh!

 

you got more use out of it already than i ever did!

 

girlfriend . . .

wife . . .


theres your answer to why


I'm single and practically married to my truck, i spend more money on it than i do anything else.

 

Exactly, no time or money for a girlfriend. I've been single for a year now and I never realized the money I had been missing for the past 3 years. Man J. I'm glad to see such a huge jump towards being driveable, I know you have got to be tired of the pickel.
