I'll see if I can't get some pictures of doing donuts. It won't be hard. The nice thing about the power/torque bands of the turbo diesel is that if I just let the clutch out it will crawl, and I don't have to worry at all about it spinning the tires. If I give it some fuel before the clutch comes out (and let the turbo spool up) it can break the tires free on dry pavement.
Appreciate the compliments on the bumper. I'm really liking it. As it sits now, it's 12 lbs under the SmittyBuilt tube bumper that was there, and it MUCH stronger. Also, it looks better and has recovery points. And the LED brake lights are incredibly bright. I like people to know when I stop.
Don't remember if I posted this picture already (I probably did), but here it is spinning the back wheels just a bit. Also, it might just be the best IFS wheeling picture ever. That's the most articulation I've seen from the IFS. It's still getting cut off in favor of SAS soon.

Yeah. I know you're jealous.
What's really funny is that you see my wheel spinning back there. When Kate drove her '85 4-runner over the same rock, even with pretty lame tires it was absolutely no effort. All because that front axle can flex, and you see the best mine is currently able to do....

Finally! WAY better motor from what I gather. I really, really wish I had gotten a 1KZ-TE instead. (not that I'm not happy enough with my 2LTE though)

Writeup won't be quite as in depth as yours as I originally said I was only a set of hands for a majority of the project, I learned quiote a bit though and have since helped out on a second identical swap...second time round was much easier we learned alot about shortcuts to getting things in place...STAY TUNED too the sticky threads
