    Official 37" and up picture thread

    I would argue that you should get something nice because you're going to beat on it. There's a reason you need to replace one

    Official 37" and up picture thread

    The best way to clear 37s in these top heavy monstrosities is to not be afraid to modify the body. I'd rather chop fenders than go up to 6" springs on the kind of off kilter rocks we get on a lot of the trails in Colorado you start touching when you go to 37s

    Official 37" and up picture thread

    I haven't been able to test flex yet since I'm still finishing up my LS swap, but here are my 37s on a 3.5" variable flex dobinsons setup. The front is lighter than stock now with the old boat anchor engine being replaced, but all I had to do to clear the inner wheel wells was a tiny bit of...

    Official 37" and up picture thread

    Hey guys, I'm currently running 35's on stock wheels and a 3.5" variable Dobinsons lift. I have zero rub anywhere even under full flex. However, with my LS swap coming to completion, I'm looking at stepping up to 37's. I'm seeing reviews of set ups on here about rub at full lock, but does anyone...

    Another L92 Swap

    Here's a quick bracket I bent up to mount the oil catch can. I'll get a picture when it's all cleaned up, but I also got a custom power steering hose from Mosley Motors. It wasn't cheap and required some bending to make it fit, but I'll take what I can get to make this project go faster at this...

    Another L92 Swap

    Well, first start up happened a couple weeks ago. It only runs for a few seconds without stumbling and stalling with no o2 or intake sensors plugged in right now, but it starts! Now just the millions of tiny projects to get it driving. First up was fabbing a throttle pedal bracket. The pedal out...

    Another L92 Swap

    This engine runs a fair amount cleaner than the stock one, so I'm hoping with the escalade cats welded in I can sneak through. If not, Arizona plates

    Another L92 Swap

    I spent all day today getting the tcase shifter into place. I had assumed that the Mark's adapter would be a more or less bolt on ordeal, but apparently the fj80 and fzj80 tcase shifters use different mounting brackets. I started by cutting a bit of the sheet metal away, as the new mounting...

    Another L92 Swap

    Well, after almost 2 moths of radio silence, I'm finally making progress again. After spending hours and hours stressing out while staring at wiring diagrams and tearing into harnesses, I decided to suck it up and get a pre made harness. I ordered one from wiring specialties that should be here...

    Another L92 Swap

    Well that's a huge step in the right direction. Thanks!

    Another L92 Swap

    This of course leaves me at everyone's favorite point: spaghetti dinner. I just got all the harnesses (minus BCM wiring) freed of their looms this evening. It was honestly funny the difference in quality between the two. The Lexus looming was still very solid, while the much newer Escalade loom...

    Another L92 Swap

    Pro tip, cutting this bit of fin off the power steering fluid reservoir gets you a lot more room, but you will have to weld it up as this opens up a hole into the reservoir. Thankfully part of my preparation for this project was buying a tig welder. At this point, all of the big physical parts...

    Another L92 Swap

    I of course got the Marks4wd kit that makes this whole thing possible. Every other thread I've come across had people making new motor mounts even with the kit. I don't know if I was the only one brave enough to try or if Marks just updated their kit, but I was able to bolt the engine in on the...

    Another L92 Swap

    Once I was done losing all of my project time to work, weather, part shipping times, and putting lifts on buddies' trucks, I finally got around to refreshing the new engine. I took it down as far as the heads and replaced every gasket I could along the way. Right before this, I had thrown the...

    Another L92 Swap

    I got extremely lucky again, and the project started with a local(ish) guy paying me to swap my old engine/trans into his Cruiser (this is also a big factor as to how I'm at a profit for the project so far).

    Another L92 Swap

    Here is the donor vehicle. It's a 2008 Escalade that supposedly has 100k miles on the engine/trans. The thing was a disgusting piece of toddler stricken garbage otherwise, so I got a screaming deal on it. I would definitely recommend doing this swap with a donor vehicle if for no other reasons...

    Another L92 Swap

    Hello ladies and gents. I'll keep the preamble short: I have a triple locked LX450 on 35's that needed more power, so it's getting an L92 and a 6l80e. I planned on setting a record for how well I was going to document this swap process, but I have done an exceedingly terrible job at this. Then...

    Another LS Swap: L92 & 6l80e into a '94 LC

    Where on the oil pan did it hit?

    Another LS Swap: L92 & 6l80e into a '94 LC

    Would you say it's worth keeping the factory pump to avoid the extra work and cost then?

    Another LS Swap: L92 & 6l80e into a '94 LC

    I'm pulling the drivetrain out of my 08 escalade parts truck this weekend to start this exact swap. You couldn't have started this thread at a better time
