Rear lift gate still available? Looking for champagne/gold color.

Do you still have the rear upper hatch? What color is it? Thanks-

Alex, I'm looking for a clean upper tailgate. Mine is developing some rust and I would like to replace it. Thanks!

Curious how much the radiator and fan combo was - Thanks

Resurrecting an old thread. Having a real hard time keeping my LS swap cool. What did you end up doing? Very close to pulling the trigger on the Ron Davis. Was looking at the Icon build videos that Jonathan Ward posts and it looks like they are using some non OEM looking solutions as well...

Good suggestion, I've seen those and there is an easy place to add one inline on my radiator plumbing.

Been a while since I've posted. I've been busy moving and the land cruiser just got unloaded from the 18 wheeler today. Update since I've put 250 miles on the swap... First and foremost, the power steering pump was bad on my engine which meant I had to tear the whole front end off and replace...

Nice, I dig the engine oil cooler. Definitely something I considered since I'm running the F-body oil pan and only have 6 quart capacity. I don't think I'll be running it quite that hard to need one though.

Are you referring to the LS or the toyo engine? Neither my LS nor the toyo engine had oil lines running to the radiator. The Toyo transmission fluid did run through the radiator before running to its own finned cooler. I kept the same plumbing on the 4L60. I do not know about the shifter...

Transmission Cooler This part of the build actually took me longer than I expected. One of my buddies had a bunch of extra AN fittings lying around so I decided to use that for most of this. Parts: AN adapters that screw into the 4L60e - FRA-481670-BL Lots of hose to run from the trans...

SHE RUNS! Fired right up! I'm behind on the build posts but couldn't wait to share.

If its not your current DD and you know how to weld this is totally doable for anyone adventurous enough to do a head gasket!

Time for some 37's!!

Temp Sender I plan on retaining the factory toyo gauges. I debated this quite a bit. I looked into OBD gauges as well as the typical dakota digital options. In the end I think this will prove the simplest. I'm already use to the speedo being off from running larger tires and I don't really care...
