Should have bought a Jeep
I am envious. Ive replaced my head gasket, am I qualified to do an engine swap? How hard is it? Just money and time consuming?
97 LX gets a v8 and more!

You sir are qualified. Yep, just time and money. It's been done so many times that the information is out there and quite well documented.

The 6l80 is the real appeal for me. Tap shifting is all good?

I just drove this truck 850 miles yesterday up to Boise from Denver.
I will be doing some work to it for my buddy.
80-85mph most of the way, used the cruise control a lot! Super fun truck to drive but it is here with me so I can make it better!
Cheers

How did you get the cruise control to work?

Ian - are you done with S. America and back in ID? I haven't been following your saga as of late

Looking hot & sexy!!
So what am I doing to the truck??
Well, I am fitting a Warn 9.5XPS and I am going to remote mount the control box in the engine bay as well as install a remote controller on it.
I am going to install the SLEE windshield washer bottle relocator kit and get the washers working well.
I am also going to deal with a vent-charcoal canister issue and sort out some sinks fuel issue in the process.
I am also installing new window runs and fixing shaky mirrors.
That’s all for sure along with a few other minor things. What’s up in the air is this;
-dial in castor, all it has now is some OME bushes.
-brakes, rebuild and or upgrade.
-replace heater control valve.
-fix a vibration issue with the rear bumper.
-stock roof rack delete and Front Runner rack fitted.
-swap out torque converter for one with a high stall or do diff gears.
-re-tune the trans.
That is all that has been discussed at this point.
Cheers

AMAZING BUILD! I hope to do an LS swap into my LX450 in the next year or two.
