    Builds Removing SBC conversion, going back to Toyota. 1972 Frame Off

    Hardest part for you is setting a proper reserve. High enough that you don't give it away for all the work put in, but also attainable for where the market is at.... which is the hard part to figure right now. No shame if you set it too high and the market can't get there. I watch a lot of...

    Builds Removing SBC conversion, going back to Toyota. 1972 Frame Off

    I am saving a bag of popcorn to eat during the final hours of the auction to see where this spectacular specimen winds up. I hope you are rewarded for your excellent work and attention to detail. This will be an interesting litmus test for the strength of the market in general.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

Boat engines are designed for extractors by having the dipstick tube reach to the bottom of the oil pan (because there is no room to use a drain plug and pan to catch oil in the bilge) so the extractor screws on the top of the...

    Registry 8x Series V8 Swaps

    ^^ absolutely this. PS, AC, alt, exhaust manifolds, oil pan at a minimum, check front driveshaft to oil pan, etc. Now is the time to figure all that out, not after the mounts are burned in.

    Terrain Tamer parabolics installed

    Another happy customer! Sits nice and level, rides much smoother, and nice complete kit. Rear axle definitely came forward compared to the old ranchos. Now I have to find a way to mount the steering damper to my Saginaw/1 ton linkage... Edited to add pic are of BFG km3 33 x 10.5-15 on factory...

    Best Lift Kit for GX470 Daily Driver

    I sold the GX earlier this year. Both front shocks were leaking a bitand it seems like the front springs may have sagged a bit as it was riding more stink bug then I remember when it was new. Eibachs warranty says to contact the retailer you got them from, but the retailer I got them from was of...

    Do yourself or whomever a future favor and add a more visible punch mark now that it's confirmed? (Or is that sacrilege?)
