What is happening with the cruiser? I am not available to actually get eyes on it until at the shop until Monday but if you can describe what’s going on I may be able to point you in the right direction Thanks man!

A bit of rubbing just means you’re racing! In reality slight rubbing is fine as long as it’s not chewing up the tire or body. It’s also a rare event full stuff actually happens.

You stop when the tire is in full conflict with the wheel well or when a tire starts to lift or when it gets to the point of way to sketchy and then you hop in there to measure for bump stops. We had an idea on what it would need at the minimum and it is actually better than I had hoped. That is...

Well done man 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

Do you have an IAT gauge post turbo or relying on the MAF IAT

Drinking gas headed north… will see it in a week and start knocking out the rest of the lunch list…

Few electrical gremlins and for some reason it started leaning out

Nope, all fixable. We knew something would pop up. Barely had any miles on it before this so there was bound to be something!

Thanks for finding the bugs!

Splash Screen while the Haltech loads. Way better than bright yellow HALTECH in your face And then the center section. Switch Pro, AC Control, Wipe/Wash, Hazard, USB, Dual Battery and Ham Radio all accented by the original Land Cruiser Emblem

not the guy doing this but as an ME I would say what Mark has done here is top notch. That article is from 2022 and likely referencing new frames. I deduce that from the discussion about zinc coating, ecu’s and the SRS system… I do not believe these early frames were made with a zinc coating...

It was great meeting you! Thanks for stopping by and hanging out for a bit!

Stage 1 on a truck with 35’s and 4:10s with a 350k+ mile trans made 64 horse more and 100 more ftlbs to the ground on 7 lbs. Ground #’s 146 hp to 210 and 190 ftlbs to 290. “stage 1” on 93 should be able to produce more because of the more advanced/tunable ecu. Add big fuel...
