    Builds Lexus LX450 Cummins 6bt/NV4500 swap

    Correct, one wire to ground the other connect to the tach reference wire out of coil.

    Whats everyone using for upgraded sway bars now?

    Are the rear Whiteline 30mm bars still available? Need something for my porker.

    The one ton swap thread

    That's no good! I thought they were totally out of the picture now.

    '97 LX Ground Up Build, Cummins

    Yes they are noisy, I have heard a few P-Pump swapped 24v's and they are no louder than my P-Pump 12V really. I don't mind the p-pump 12v in my truck currently, I found its not as bad as most think. I do not have the timing cranked on it though so that keeps it a bit quieter. One nice thing...

    Yeah, but I document it for everyone so they can follow along my pain :P

    Dobinsons IMS Monotube Shocks for 80 Series - Internal resi Monotube Shocks

    Just seals, this issue is they are not valved correctly for my weight and I think overheating. I have toyed with getting them rebuilt and re valved but I'm still stuck with a 2" shock not able to shed heat.

    '97 LX Ground Up Build, Cummins

    Yeah, I have contemplated switching over to a VE pump buts a lot of work for marginal gain. Now I'm looking down a P-Pump 24V rabbit hole...

    Remote mount battery’s

    I have been keeping my eyes on them. I don't feel the benefits outweigh the negatives at this point. They are great for house loads like Fridges, lights charging etc but not great for starting. Putting them in a hot engine bay is also problematic from what I have read, then top it all off with...

    Dobinsons IMS Monotube Shocks for 80 Series - Internal resi Monotube Shocks

    I have the Fox IFP shocks all round with a 4" lift and was less than impressed. Yes they absorb the road seams and harsh bumps better than the OME shocks they replaced but they do not control the weight of the truck very well. I have also now had 3 rear Fox shocks fail in 25k kms so am...

    '97 LX Ground Up Build, Cummins

    I went NV4500 in mine connected to the factory AWD transfer case. I have a P-pump in mine but when I started down this path I wanted a VE pump engine for its better cold starts and slightly better economy. A good deal on a very low millage 215hp P pump engine came up and I could not pass it up...

    Remote mount battery’s

    They actually work really well from what I can tell. Gives a nice muffled idle and then when you get on it they have a bit more tone. As far as claims of improved economy etc I have no idea.

    Remote mount battery’s

    Yes I will need to design it right and be very careful of the layout. A short is a concern with any system, my truck has been fully re wired once for the house battery system and the Cummins swap. If the batteries are mounted under the truck all the main power leads will have Fuses, Breakers...

    Remote mount battery’s

    Not Practical, I have young kids and would rather keep heavy things like batteries out of the cab of the truck.

    Remote mount battery’s

    Yes I could do that, in all honesty I could delete the muffler for that matter. My only other concern would be heat in that area having the exhaust fairly close.

    Remote mount battery’s

    I have a Aero Turbine muffler in the factory...ish location. Exhaust runs inside the frame front to back. There is also a decent spot on the driver side behind the transfer case and in front of the fuel tank as well but ideally I would like both batteries on the passenger side to offset fuel...
