    You are right! Thanks so much for keeping tabs on us, I appreciate it! We got to RM 366.6 before the LBJ separated from the spindle. It wasn't an LBJ failure parse, but the Spindle lost it's threads entirely. Full story incoming!

    @ Concerning the grill, mine is held on with zip ties too! The biggest change are the light-cuts in the bumper. I cut those anew and welded mounts for the Baja Designs lighting I'm borrowing. That visually paired with the light bar in the middle nicely. Update! We have alot to cover! 1...

    Thanks! Alrighty. Now that's it's one month after the race, I feel like I've absorbed it enough to share. Firstoff, it got so much attention, that multiple companies reached out to discuss sponsorships that week. I told them I'd follow up once I go the marketing deck squared away. This has...

    Fun update! Rear fenders cut (again), and kudos to Miklos for inspiring me to update the solidworks model again with the more recent updates, including the visor and dash cover upfront. I just learned how to use the deform tool today, so that's was fun.

    Okay, tedious items update! Rear firewall made and installed. 1/16" thick Aluminum. Rewired the foglight wiring to power the main lightbar. Installed PCIRace Radio's raceair kit. Also made storage pins to keep the ends of the hose out of the way.

    Update! Welding of the engine cage is done! Out of all the things that could go wrong with tight access welding and high risk of damage, I poked the radiator with a pair of pliers while removing a zip tie. Sooo that had to get swapped out. Otherwise, it was a pretty smooth install!

    Thanks for the idea! I'll research that more and learn that heat shield. In the meantime, let's extend the roll cage to the front! Most of the research I've done shows that I'll need to reinforce the strut towers to the roll cage, so that's the reason why the engine cage is going in. Welding...

    Weird update! I got my hands on a cool camera this weekend, so here's the 4runner in thermal! What's really cool is how much heat is not radiating from the exhaust pipe to the fuel cell. I worked really hard to make sure they have ample clearance, and the footage provides more warm and...

    Me neither! Time for the right side! By the way, a 2" die grinder shaves off two or three days of work on each side. I just found out while working with the right side plates. ^coated and testdrove. ^welded in place. ^fitup was tedious--ended up needing to make a plate to bridge the...

    Confession time! I hated fender trimming. After finessing the outer fender, I 9lb sledged that @#$% inner fender into submission. 5 years later, I needed to come back and do it right. I was ashamed at what I had done. I was in denial. I was--I was---an idiot. With 34's + long travel, it...
