ARCHIVE Catuned offroad introduction

[Madmaxs]

Hello I would like to introduce myself to the IH8Mud community. My name is Max. I have always been involved with the automotive industry. I have done a few projects with cars ranging from my 1965 Ford Mustang, a LS6 swapped 1988 5 series BMW, and a Honda S2000 swapped 1974 BMW 2002 and lots more. I was always into outdoor stuff with my family, camping and fishing. Then I wanted to try something off the beaten path for me. I had a Isuzu Trooper that I swapped out the gas engine to the Japanese diesel option. Then I wanted to SAS it, and that’s when I go bit by the off road bug. After doing a few projects I decided to open up a small shop in Sacramento California after this hobby started to interest me more than ever. Below are some of our customer builds as well as our current FJ62 that we are in the process of swapping in a Mercedes OM606 diesel engine. Everyone likes picture so here are a few of them.

Below are some of our recent customer builds. More info can be given if there are some questions.

Currently we will be documenting our Fj62 that we are in the process of swapping in a Mercedes OM606 engine with custom adapter plate to use the 5 speed transmission.

I will start a separate thread for that. Just want to post this first to introduce ourselves.
Max.

Welcome Max. I follow you on Instagram and love your builds. Excited to see what you do with your 62. I got to admit, your name throws me for a loop. I always read cat-tuned...

Wait. Is it Igor or Max? Holy hell, the 60 at SEMA was absolutely stunning. Excellent job on the 606 swap. The packaging and attention to detail was exquisite! Having dine a few SEMA builds, I really appreciate the attention to detail you put into this build. Really, great job!

I follow you on Instagram, love what you’re doing. I’m really wanting a diesel in my 100 series, can you tackle that kind of project and/or how long would it take and how much would you guesstimate it cost. I see a lot of people in Australia throwing the 6.6 duramax engines into 100series as well but 100series don’t seem as popular here. And information is appropriated
