Not a weekend thing, but I just got done with the quads install. Thanks @cruisermatt ! *edit- I just had 'em out to aim them and drive around and holy crap, these things are so much better than the USDM lights. If you can swing the coin...

Upgrade time…

PM sent on bellhousing cover and EVAP manifold

Great time. Really enjoyed meeting so many of you. Looking forward to the Christmas party 🤞🏼

Killer event, thanks BOD and everyone who participated in our trivia!

The $800 wire harness, not the pedal pads.

That’s a counterfeit

Nathan is @Rushing

continuing with small improvements. Don’t know what I was thinking with this ram hose routing but it was bad. Going through this forwards opening the hoses are completely relaxed. Much better. This week I’ll have one of my team print me up a...

that was all as of last night .. I think current plan is to run the Tr4050 but with my Np203/split case (will also bolt to my Tr4050, this was my original plan before the Blackbox fell into my lap) for upcoming Fall Crawl trip, that way I don't...

Shifter handle first test fit and ramble..

Next up I decided to do a test fit with the new transmission, Blackbox, and a 100 series HF2A I got from my gracious friend Nathan (@roadstr6 what’s Nathan’s mud name?) It fits really good. Better than my old setup in a lot of ways which is not...

while waiting on a few things to come in for my steering/suspension, I decided to take more stuff apart. Turns out my NV4500 is fine-ish.. what I thought was it being broken was the shift tower bolts all having fallen out... no wonder it was...

Domestic 2F reservoir would have the drain line on the opposite side of the reservoir.

If it is a US spec truck it is almost certainly not a non-US 2F pump. On second look, with the narrow belt I would bet it is off some sort of Toyota car/truck. 3FE pump is availbe new for a decent price and would bolt up to your 1F with the...

either non-US 2F or, or 3F/3FE. The difference in the mounting width. Do you have more background information on the vehicle?

Thanks for the order! I appreciate your business and support I'm still confused though as to why you need to make a transmission tunnel cover. I have a bunch of good used ones that would be proper for your setup here, be happy to sell you one...

Can’t believe this hasn’t sold. I see people blow so much more then this on total junk

Next issue.. the moving side of the ram assist would just hit the bottom of my AC tensioner. I learned the later model LS’s got rid of the tensioner and just use a stretch to fit belt, so I got one of those and had one of my guys cut the bottom...

You can get away with it, but on a a customer car? Get the head checked/cleaned at a machine shop.

Best bet would be to give CruiserMatt a call/email above and get all the parts in one delivery.

Sky's Off-Road sells a broached insert that I ordered. I did attemped (by hand, and scrapped) this same project a few years back and cut down a used Toyota arm and it remember it welding quite nicely, I would do the same here if I was more budget...

Solid steering stops cut from bar stock on my bandsaw

On the pitman arm? That's for the bolt head. I always design for bolts to sit upright in case the nut unthreads

Next issue.. pitman arm hardware would contact the leaf spring at full flex preventing full steering. Also had no room go higher without notching the frame. So, design a 4130 sheet metal double sheer pitman arm to raise the heim joint approx .75"...
