Engine runs real good. Driver side exhaust manifold is off while I build the other side pipe and finish the shifter install. Some highlights. 81,000 original mile, Box A title. Sat for almost it's entire life.

92 LS400 1UZFE engine, A340F 4runner transmission, brand new 0 miles skyjacker Nitro8000s on all 4 corners, 60 miles on the mickey thompson baja legend 31x10.50r15 matching set of 5, braided stainless brake lines converter to AN3, custom made 37 gallon fuel tank, 044 fuel pump, tuned on a Megasquirt gold box standalone ECU, spring over lift, roll caged, 13,500lb winch with synthetic line never been used only mounted and tested, custom built Gamiviti roof rack with 4 -7" round lights and 4 - 4x2" light bars that point to the sides and backwards, 270° awning with built in lighting, LED headlights, RADesigns VX Control standalone shifter and shift controller, there's just so much stuff to list.

CONS. I did not weld the winch plate in completely, it's tacked in place. Same with the spring over, the plates are all tacked. The seats are a little worn out. I bandaid fixed the passenger front door hinge but all doors work. shifter not wired or mounted. need to make a tcase shifter.

I have the rear glass but no motor for it. Considering partial trades for wood truck plus cash - Dodge, internationals or Toyotas. Video of it running on the external link, or you can view my build thread in my signature.

10k obo.

Do you have any more photos of the install and drivetrain? The video of it running shows no exhaust system.


I have tons of pictures of the whole process.

Engine mounts are the stock brackets, but I cut them and moved them back, and then I used the bigger rubber pucks from the original transmission mount for extra support. Then I had to move the oil filter bracket, so I put all billet parts from Venom on there for that, including the Venom billet thermostat housing (everyone who has a UZ knows that plastic one warps ALWAYS) so just future proofing.

All the fuel lines are braided AN6, the transmission lines are braided AN6 as well to the transmission cooler at the front.

Converted to GM 1 wire alternator (yes its chrome.. but 120A only came in chrome and i didnt want 90A)



For the manifold, the passenger side. The exhaust is complete, and bolted up with hangers to the roll cage mounts in the rear, and then the Vband at the front so the whole side pipe comes off with 2 bolts. The driver side manifold is still with my friend at Stellar Fabrication so he can shorten the runners to clear the steering gearbox.

You can see the passenger side pipe, where I hid the ECU, and where the driver side pipe will go as soon as I get my manifold back. The original exhaust was a side pipe on the driver side, so side pipes was fitting.

ECU is setup for launch control, it does have overrun fireballs tuned in on decel which I can tune out of it no problems.

I also just bought a second transmission because I needed the dipstick tube, the kick down cable, and I figured a whole second functional transmission wouldnt be a bad investment.

Life has come and really screwed me over. 7K and take this home. I just put a new (used) transmission in it and its doing things just not driving yet and I just cant anymore. it has to go.
Where you at?

Currently. automatic is removed because its just not working out. I have an R150F that will be going in. I have ordered a custom clutch and adaptor kit from a very good friend of mine Samiur from Rallye Kraft - he has been building these things for 9 different rally teams and has very recently started doing more street type builds. Price stays the same 10K if purchased as its sitting. Once the adaptor and clutch show up, it will be installed and vehicle will be fully running/driving and price will reflect that. I jumped the line of his portal axle development and going to have a twin disk setup with two 3SGTE disks and 3SGTE pressure plate so readily available clutch parts and not weird off the wall stuff like all the other kits on the market.
