Got motor/trans in on its own weight. Once I get radiator, batteries, bumper and winch, it should settle down nicely.... it barely went in as a complete unit with heavy massaging...

Can you enlighten me about the pig fest?

First annual pig fest in June. Check out thread.
Pig Party - 2017?

So, do you totally build it and then disassemble to paint it? Like building it twice, kinda?

 

[landcruisnman]

That's what I'll have to do. That won't take that long though. Hopefully I don't just decide to drive around as is.... but I will for a bit to get bugs out. I've got some cool ideas for the dash that I'll be working on soon. Stay tuned

A good test drive would be the 800 miles to Colorado in late June. Hint hint.

I'm running the Redline Big Brake kit for 60 series axle up front. Going to make a rear kit using Tacoma from rotors and calipers.

What's going on here!

So wanna see what is the latest!

 

[xtiaan2000]

What's been going on with the beast?!!!

Hope all is well.

He needs $800,000 to finish it. And since he spends his time making me goofy s*** for free it’s probably at a standstill...

 

[landcruisnman]

Updates coming soon...

Back at it. Getting rear brakes done. Using Tacoma front rotors and calipers. Had to machine the hubs a bit to get rotor to fit over. Pulled body off again today. Making room for finishing up chassis items. I’ll post more soon..
