Was thinking the same, but there’s something interesting and maybe satisfying about just using what you got with shop extras and new as needed. Very interested to follow how this turns out.

I remember seeing that cruiser in your other shop before your move where you are now back in Jan of 2020. I had just bought my cruiser on December 8th 2019 and you were the first place I stopped in to talk cruisers. I saw this one in the back of your shop with a canoe strapped to the top. What a...

Well made point @cruisers and company, essentially by definition LS swaps are a Frankenstein of sorts and that’s where my level of confidence is out the door trusting myself to pull this off. So then becomes a question of cost at a well known pro shop turbo 1fz with rebuilt engine or LS. I might...

It is an interesting consideration between the two. For me it depends on the starting spot. In my case, I would, at minimum need a top end refresh as I’m approaching 290k on an OG 1FZ. Add that to the stage one turbo and intercooler, because I think that would be best practice, and I’m getting...

@wardharris, I absolutely love your GCC choice but am curious if you considered a later model 200 series, that option wasn’t on you list of contenders. I figure one could find a sub 100k 2017 in the mid 50k range. Also, as a native to Boise, glad to see you in my neck of the woods. Hope to run...

I did this as well with good results. IIRC, you also need to trim a bit of the bulb tabs on the 9011’s for the fit. Just match the old 9005/9006 tab’s and trip to fit.

Interesting thing about the 06 I picked up, it was from an elderly couple and came with a thick file of dealer maintenance. Seems his hobby was taking it in for service as he had the coolant flushed, all front, rear and transfer case oil changed about every regular oil change. Timing belt done...

Yeah, it’s definitely better than I expected.

Certainly no an 80 but happened into this one owner dealership only maintained 06 DC tundra with 132k. My initial thoughts were to possibly turn it over in the spring to help fund a turbo but after some seat time this rig it’s really solid, very punchy and even quick off the line, something I...

I have no experience with catch cans, but interesting enough, what is there in that bowl all was collected in the first 300-500 miles after install and seemingly not much or nothing more since.

This is mine added 3,419 miles ago during last batch sale. Rig at 287k now.

Mine showed up yesterday, installed last night and drove 25-30 miles today. My results when I got home. I don’t have any experience with catch cans, wondering what and how much blow by to expect. No very good lighting in the pick but the bottom of the bowl has a small amount in there. Rig is a...

No worries, thanks. Ordered.

When I try to order just the catch can kit is shows as sold out, if I add the PVC it shows as available. I don’t need the added PVC grommet, can I order just the kit?

I regularly run my 282k 95’ mostly stock rig with a few bolt ons (sliders, bumper and bowfin roof rack) up local 6-7% grades in 2nd to 70 mph at 4800 rpm. The last stretch of that grade is ~1/2 to 3/4 mile and I hold that rpm for about 30 sec or so. Does not fuss a bit and I do this 2-3 times a...
