few more misc pics
Motors running

Ill be getting my old wheels back with the wider stance. right now the tires hit my frame in the rear when flexing out so thats gotta change lol. Oh and IROKs are directional people! so many times do i see people mount them wrong on the wheels.. the previous owner of the 39's had them wrong I still need to rotate at least on of them.


If you havent noticed either ive started on my half doors. I cant finish one thing before I start another yes I know

Well I fried the fuel pump I got from MSD. I sent it to them to fix or replace it back on the 3rd. Called yesterday to find its just sitting there and nothings been done with it. They guy on the phone was cool and said hes looking into it. I just didnt get a chance to call him today. Im just waiting on that back. I need to also make or get a bypass so I dont do that again I knew I was going to I just didnt fix it. Dumb me.

Been really busy at work which is good for the shop Im at and me $$ wise too so thats kinda taking priority since I need to afford just staying alive. Its still very big and important to me so I assure you all I will update as soon as I can.

Just read through all this. How anticlimactic lol j/k. I'm getting sick of my 3.slow very quickly and have been dreaming of engine swaps. Hoping for an update on your build man; so sick! Oh and go ahead and make a 4.3 swap kit so i can complete one on my rig more painlessly lol.

Lets hope its a good one man... been a little rough for us all haha. But hey, you're alive and you got a sick Toyota. Last time I checked, a Toyota can go through anything with a good driver, so I feel confident you'll work past your troubles and come baha-ing out the other side haha. Happy New Year!
