I might have something ? gimme a shout if you want to come have a look.

I have a couple 86-87 hj60 harnesses here if they are of any use? I know they are a bit different but most of them should be the same. I also have a CT26 from a supra I believe that might be useable for your truck?

Why would you use a mini truck/4runner body if you are going to modify it to the point of not looking anything like a mini truck or 4runner? Adding 12" to the hood and fenders to accommodate the engine will be challenging to make it look like anything that doesn't deserve the scrap pile. Why not...

Jeesus, can't wait to see how you approach that issue. Personally, I'd go find another 40 series to start with. Not much left of that.

Why did it take you 9 hrs? that job should be 1/2 that time ? Old rusty bolts I guess?

Ha Ha , it did pretty good. I lost my brakes just before that flop. Was pretty steep and I was trying to keep momentum then all of a sudden... on my side almost falling off that rock. As far as shakedown runs go, it was pretty successful. Feels more stable and climbs pretty good. I'll try to get...

Got it running today. 3 days left before I'm hoping to wheel it. Gotta drive it around and see what's up but the motor sounds pretty good without the exhaust on . My sons helped me on the weekend with door skins and floors and a new fuel cell. Also got the centre windshield bar modified . Spent...

Too Busy to take pictures lately. Only got this one. Got the battery tray made/painted/installed, made a rear d-shaft and found one that will work in the front. I'm using early minitruck slips on late model cruiser shafts so I get the bigger u-joints at the diff but get more angle out of the...

More pics of the shaft and bearing in place. Still have to weld out the holes and the base of the u-joint. Going to drill and tap the crossmember for the bearing and add nuts to the underside to lock the bolts in.

Been pretty busy but got a few things off the list.( I actually have one now) Not many pictures though. I'll try to get some more up later. I got the brake master and clutch master worked out. I'm going to run an 80 series non abs brake master in manual form. I managed to increase the pedal...

I would agree a 5vz would be not too bad. You could look around for an R151 from an LJ78 and get a split case upgrade to the t-case.

Got the steering links made. Still have to make the double shear tabs for the steering arms. Then I have to build the UHMW pucks to limit the ram and plumb it all. There is an event at the end of march that I'm going to try to make so I'm going to have to get a bit more serious about getting...

Ok vice versa but spring over vs spring under makes no difference. Pardon my mix up. I don't ever use those shims you guys talk about. I cut the welds off the balls and rotate them to the correct caster number.

Came up with an idea to mount the orbital. Ended up the steering column was too short but the lines from the orbital were getting into the intake so pushing the orbital itself out from under the dash seemed like a good way to achieve better steering wheel position. You can adjust the tilt with...

I still disagree. Clean up the edge and run it. Not a fan of roller fairleads and synthetic line.
