You need to notch the open diff slightly on one side. No big deal.

My custom bell intercooler was $1000.00 , two years ago for a 1 off. Just for reference

It’s a radiator inside a cavity of coolant. There are gaskets and I think I’ve seen 1 pic of a hole in the radiator. You have to take it out and inspect it. Typical HG is coolant in your oil. You seem to have oil in your coolant. Drain down...

don't overlook the possibility of an oil cooler issue.

I ended up with a custom bell-intercooler setup for my Super Charger. they're more efficient than the Chinese ones which allows for a smaller package. But the throttle body is mounted on the chargers intake so there is a lot more room up top...

With my kit the seat still bolts to the floor in the same position. What I did was modify the rail so it operates in the same range but 2” back. No loss of head room.

Do you have 555 brand TREs? They can rust and get noisy.

I’m 6’6” with a 36” inseam. My seat brackets were design 1 right after the purchase. I’ve owned multiple 80s who all got the kit. I find that the amount of increase is fine. Cloth seats fall short of the modified electric seats by about a...

Check your nuts. On the right knuckle

Installing caster correction will take a lot of that out.

@landtank casterplates.

My understanding of zener diodes is they only pass a certain voltage. In this case it might be 12v. Since a charged battery is usually around 12.3v and has a charging voltage or 14.2v. Passing only 12v would ensure that the rings brightness is...

I put a new pipe in whole with the body on. I compressed the pipe from being round to an oval. Then jacked up on the rear floor for extra room and forced the pipe in. Then using a c-clamp round out the pipe again. The pipe interfaces with a...

On old connectors like that I take a pair of channel locks and adjust them so the jaws are parallel when clamped on h to he housing snd then crack the housing like you would walnuts.

the bosch injectors use wiring adapters. You said you didn't use them.

What I’d do is unplug each injector 1 at a time and do 2 checks each time. First check is to take a continuity check on each wire on that injector to ground. Toyota switches ground to fire the injector that’s why a short to ground holds the...

i prefer these but they seem to be out of production and only a few out there...

Not do much on Quality Control

The 4” plates adds 7* of caster correction. Tilting the axle on the rear bolt would cause all kinds of problems with tie rod contact, springs hitting the bump stops and perch alignment issues. Drilling new holes eliminated all the problems...

It’s an unintentional benefit of using them

I’ve had people use my 4” plates to repair an axle bracket. The 4” plates have dowel pins that lock into the factory bolt holes and once welded on add additional strength.

looks like there is something going on with the front left wheel. Look cat the camber reading. Might check the wheel bearings.

I have no experience with these springs but that doesn't seem right. With that 3/4" difference your axles aren't parallel and the truck won't track straight. I'd get some shims and level that truck out. I think you'll end up around 3" of lift.

you might have the springs installed backwards, that's a rather big difference and it could be the rears as well. You want the taller springs on the left (DS) of the truck.

There is nothing better than stock bushings in the front arms for longevity. I’d install OEM bushings and then add plates. If you measure from the center of the front hub to the underside of the flare and subtract 20.5 you will get a good idea...
