Yes sir.

Cheers

Happy days, they seem much more trouble-free than the DTE modules.

Lots of prep usually nets a good job.

I pushed through, stayed late and just finished painting the long block. Now it can cure all night.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Still in the shop, having a beer and pulling tape.

Good and proper paint job on it now!

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

You didn’t think I was going to paint these ARPs did you?

Tape is all pulled and that’s a day! Nice to be done with that too.

Cheers

There is usually two rules with customers for me doing a build thread on their Cruiser. #1 they remain anonymous and #2 no money discussed. Seems to me people should easily be able to respect a request like that. I didn’t clarify that when I started the thread, thems the rules though for almost all my build threads.

I already discussed price with Ben in pm, however I can beat that price.

Please enjoy the build thread and if you have questions on cost, contact me by email, pm or phone call.

I let paint cure yesterday, back on assembly today!

Well, I need to round up some odds and ends parts wise plus get some coatings done before proceeding. Parts ordered and batch of parts going out for coating Monday.

With the timing belt done, we adjusted the valves.

Our lift kit showed up.

The Cruiser should be coming to us soon!

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

It has arrived!

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

It’s basically brand new.

Funky low profile front bumper I haven’t seen before.

How many vehicles in the world still come with 7.50’s off the lot?

Installing the lift kit tomorrow.

79-series steelies with Toyo 255’s is what is going on it.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Front suspension is installed, rear going in after lunch.

The before pics and next to one on 35’s.

So there it is, lifted. We netted about 3” but it is going to settle for sure. It rides way way better.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

So I wanted to do some short acceleration videos before and after the swap.

Here is before!







Cheers

 

[SNLC]

One more, don’t let the v8 accelerating in the background fool you!




Cheers

 

[SNLC]

For those of you who like walk around videos.

For anyone who has never seen these up close, by far the heaviest leaf pack Toyota ever put in a Cruiser!

They weigh over 100lbs each! Stiff as a brick. Rated for over a ton easy, I call them the “camel leaf pack”, thing is you would have to cram three camels in the DC bed to begin to get these flexing! I get putting these under the reg cab long bed 79’s but you will never be able to put 1+ton in the DC’s tiny bed!

Hello,

Now that is overbuilt.

Guaranteed to punish your back unless you have 200 pounds or more in the back...
