This is going to be a good thread. I recomend everyone keep a close eye for some cutting edge stuff.

I almost took a spy pic tonight.

Tonight's update

got the split case beadblasted and cleaned, figured some stuff out. I should have some pictures of the toybox split-case in the next few days

on to the pictures

If your gonna have someone build a Toyota driveline, why not ask the best




I haven't seen this done before sight tubes to check the oil level.







And I'm pretty sure this is new(fittings are just mock up, more bling is needed before its done)
