Ive know the owner of dissent since late 2019. He custom built my rear fj40 bumper. I just like his product and styling. In my opinion no one does it better.
In this case - I like the more modern lines dissent arb revision.
Yes dissents stuff isn’t cheap. It’s so well designed - the fit in...
That’s the point.
Honestly i wanted to do something different. Instead of doing an erod drop. I decided to rebuild a 5.3 and turbo it. I am primarily doing this for the fun of it. I am sure it will be to much.
But i am trying to keep the power on the lower end around 500-700hp.
Almost have the assesories figured out. I have a few more tensioners and waiting on Camaro PS pump. Once that’s complete i am going to tear the block down and get it to machine shop. More to come.
Picked up a 5.3 - I gave up saving for a erod. I am just going to register it in a non Cali state. The block fit nicely in the 40.
Picked up a 1996 fj80 front axel to. Also bought a rear axel from @orangefj45 - i still need to snag it from Stockton.
I went a hair nuts over Black Fritday. @dbbowen tipped me off to a toyota parts sale. I picked up a H55F from toyota Walnut creek for $2,300. I was planning on the TR4050 but for the savings it was a no brainer. I also picked up the Marks adapter kit and the appropirate clutch kit and flywheel...
Not Land Cruiser related. Built a griddle top for my in counter grill. Very happy with the $300 investment! ($66 metal plate. $125 water jet fees, $125 sides and supports from send cut send)
