Thanks, no need for the pictures, I'll plan on looking for a used one at a reasonable price. I'm sure it would work fine without it but don't want to mess around when it comes to brakes.

It's the busiest time of the year with people getting their cars ready for winter. I haven't been able to do much of any work on it. But I have had alot of good parts coming in: Beno got me a good throttle cable. Diesel tachometer and vacuum reservoir from leland. Plazman air to water Inter cooler is here. Between Christmas and tax time it usually slows down a bit, and i hope to make some more progress then.

still thinking about this every day but not getting much done on it. Most recent task i opened up the fan clutch, planing on making some adjustments and changing out the fluid but the valve position was about 90 degrees off. Bought a new ASIAN one and put it in. great price from spareto seemed like the only place that sold them. the gas a442f throttle/kickdown cable is 1/2" shorter then the diesel so i had to get one of those. bought a junkyard tacoma shaft, replace ujoint and then had the local driveshaft shop shorten it and balance to be used for the front. Here's how far things are at the moment under the hood:
I didn't remember to take pics of the outside before i put it into the shop so here's one:
Always a good day when there are 3 diesel Toyotas in the shop!

Forgot to take pics before i rolled the truck inside, so here's one. The white monsta liner looks terrible, it's got to go after it's driving.
Cluster is ready. took the "turbo" lights off, just going to run the gas tach face-plate over top even though the redline is a little too high. leaking caps on the speedometer, no surprise there, traces are good though, caught it just in time. Put all new caps in the speedo and tach. going to use the check engine light as the glow light.
air to water heat exchanger bracket is fab'd but not painted yet. pics soon.

charge pipe to intercooler done:
denso AC condensor, derale transmission cooler installed machined the fittings that came with the cooler into AN tube nuts and then flared and bent some copper nickel tube for the transmission lines.
Universal CSF heat exchanger, coated with more KG2400 didn't want the silver showing though the grill
heat exchanger is smaller then the one that comes in the plazaman kit but hopefully will cool down enough for my uses, there is at least an inch of space between the heat exchanger, AC condenser and trans cooler. the heat exchanger is gets the best air from right behind the grill.
next up: air to water pump bracket, fuel filter housing bracket. will probibly swap to the old style reciver drier if I can find a used set of lines for sale.
