Selling because I currently have bigger fish to fry, motivated. Tons of pics in the build thread links below. It doesn't come with the 37s pictured, it has some 15" Tacoma rims with snow tires on it currently. No winch but has the mounting plate on the frame already. It was a CT vehicle...

Currently I'm leaning towards...

Not really anything new here that you can't find in the 80's tech section. Just some documentation of the journey to get rid of the tick-tick-tick in my current motor and, once the new engine is in, my "2 Week" endeavor into adding some boost via turbo.
I will edit in pictures as time allows...
