Team, I unfortunately have injured my back again and may have to sell this truck because I'm not sure I'll be able to work on it myself. Anyone know someone looking for a troopy with a pop top? I've got no idea what to price this at for a...

two engine swaps in less time than I take to change my oil. Sub'd

A thread that started this afternoon. Cant tell if this is 10 years or 10 days of work. A bit mind boggling for a simpleton like me, but especially after: “So the truck did great on the trip, had plenty of power in the mountains, shifts...

and just 25 months later….

Last night I finally got everything bolted together. The airbox lid is 80 mm or about 3.15 inches. I bought some 3.25 inch silicone couplers and a 12 inch 45° intercooler pipe. I cut it down to size and used a cheap bead roller to make absolutely...

I like that you retained the inner finder wells. Clean work as always!

I wish I needed this right now. I’m sure once it’s sold I will

Got the correct quad headlight clear corner lens sub harnesses from Stedman. Much lower profile than the standard harness at the bottom.

I finally got moving forward on the PDI intercooler. I picked up the correct early valance from @Hamachi to suit the turbo grill. I had to clearance the lower valence edges quite a bit. The turn signals fit with just a tiny bit of overhang at the...

Not really roughing it but took a little drive up north to Banff for the week.

Transmisssion cooler mounted up

Ok…I take back what I said about the 3” hole saw…I wound up using a oscillating tool to cut open the holes needed for the silicone 90* parts…

I did do this once (and was a bit nervous my first time). I met the seller at the bank that held the lien, which happened to be a local bank that he had gotten the loan through. I basically handed the money to the bank rep who “paid off” the lien...

My kit getting installed with a brand new short block.

Here is an NOS fuel door information label:

Be aware that the process for dropping the headliner on a pre-95 is a lenghty process and you essentially have to remove everything on the inside beltline up. Some people find a 95+ setup and convert to make it easier later on. There is another...

I have a 2013 second gen Tacoma trd off-road that I've spent too much money on over the years and built it to a great little all around truck. Couldn't shake the dream of owning an 80's series Land Cruiser the more i learned about them. Ended up...

Oh ya, we chemically stripped these body panels too, only parts not touched yet are doors. Sill working on these plus need to do doors but we are going to bare metal on everything and ya it’s a friggin’ ton of work! 😐🤌 Cheers

Legend, Ian. You guys are amazing and appreciate you sharing it all 🤙

Cheers
