Any update on that intercooler? Specifically for 2.8 and 4bt swap or with custom piping work with a turbo 1fz?

The IC will NOT work for 1FZ as the radiator needs to move back a couple inches (which does give you a sweet tool tray). It’s designed to fit with 2.8 and 4BT should work just fine as well.
It might work in front of the core support, but haven’t looked at that (only way it could work for 1FZ).
Lots of Aus. turbo 1fz builds mount the intercooler up front, but I've mostly been seeing 3" core. May be an option?
Very nice designs and executions, you mentioned the rear bumper would get it's own thread, a search found nothing so here's my questions.
1. do you know when the rear bumper will be available?
Or at least on the website, with options, pricing, etc?
2. On the sides of the rear bumper that extend forward toward the rear wheels, will there be any brackets to tie those sides to the frame for side impact support?
3. Does your rear bumper require cutting the frame?
I don't care, if it does, but if that's required I'd like know before buying.
4. Can I get a receiver tube integrated in to the bumper?
I don't want the tube that bolts to the holes in the stock cross member. If it can be integrated I'd also like an integrated trailer plug that accepts both 4 pin and 7pin (7 pin preferred), so the wiring or the plug won't hang below the bumper.
4. Please share the following:
Estimated install time, weight, future swing out options, etc
I really like your designs and how you've done some things differently, especially considering these trucks are 21-28 years old.
FYI: Since you are a Cummins preferred vendor, please pass them this message: I'm also waiting on Cummins to come out with an engine larger than 2.8 and smaller than 5.9 (not interested in a 4BT, but I am interested in a newer similar sized crate engine).
Keep up the great work.

Great questions, and thanks for the kind words!
1. The final prototype rear is in the shop now, will be releasing very soon. Our cost goal is to be comparable with an equally kitted SLEE
2. The bumper has what are essentially “sliders” between the frame and the winglets. You should be able to drop off a ledge from a 35” to it with no damage. Side impact should be trivial.
3. If you have a 91/92, there are a couple very small brackets welded to the frame that will have to get cut off. On the 93+, those brackets are bolted on so no cutting. The exhaust will need to be trimmed on all years, a new hanger is integrated into the bumper to make this as painless as possible. Those are the only “permanent” modifications needed.
4. Weight is up there. With spare tire carrier, it’ll be about 140 lbs. Aside from lifting into place, install is a one person job and should only take a couple hours. Swingout options to start will be spare tire/hi-lift carrier, kitchenette, and jerrycan holder. We are certainly looking for additional suggestions and desires on that front. Also, since the swingouts have modular attachment points, we will be publishing that bolt layout so other folks can design attachments.
Actually just wrapping up a stint on the Cummins RePower Cruise today! Have to head home and get back to work while a bunch of other folks are continuing on to Pismo Beach, CA. Look for a VERY short clip on Delta some point in the future on Ian Johnson’s new show coming out this fall. And, if you are somewhere along the path between Seattle and Pismo, see if you can swing by their route or one of the end points. A couple Cruisers to be seen and a lot of other cool rigs. As mentioned before, we get no early access to info on any of that stuff, but there have been some rumors about the 5L v-engine being the next package. That’d be incredibly expensive though.
Thank you very much. We are working hard to bring quality products to market as quickly as we can!
How is the center console coming along?
I am in no hurry I got to get the thing back on the road this week. The next round of mods will be some of your suspension goodies.

I currently have a front mounted A2A intercooler and a Cummins 6BT power plant, but looking for more cooling power. My truck is in SLC, but could probably get it up to you ID for a while if it helps. An intercooler you design could be engine agnostic since it all comes down to cooling power and then plumbing.
Thanks for the reply, one question was over looked.
Can I get a receiver tube integrated in to the bumper?
I'm not interested in buying the tube that bolts to the holes in the stock cross member.
If the tube can be integrated I'd also like an integrated trailer plug that accepts both 4 pin and 7pin (7 pin preferred), so the wiring or the plug won't hang below the bumper.
If the 7 pin plug option isn't offered, could we get an optional hole for one or at least a flat spot where I can drill holes to install it myself?
Your products seem to be pretty well thought out and I'd like to increase my departure angle and protect the wiring from damage when a trailer is not connected.

You cannot get a receiver tube integrated into this bumper unless you do it yourself. We are leaving space so you can add one to the stock Toyota mount points, and it is built so you can put the OEM receiver hitch underneath it. Those would be your two options. We do not want to mess with towing liability, etc. If you want a custom built bumper, we can do that too, but there will be a considerable cost increase over retail for the extra time associated with actually engineering a towing capable receiver/bumper.
As far as adding a spot for wiring, due to the way the 80 frame is set up with the rear cross-member, you're going to be hard pressed to get that plug in there in any kind of flush mounted situation, unless you cut a hole in the cross-member. Definitely doable, but our bumper is an almost completely bolt-in solution and we plan to keep it that way.

1991 to 1992 3FE with A440F mated to a HF2A
1993 to 1994 4.5L with A442F aka bus tranny mated to a HF2AV. Some 95s had this.
1995 to 1997 4.5L with A343F mated to a HF2AV.
I think 93 to 97 are interchangeable in terms of the bolt pattern. I have not confirmed this but I am not sure about the earlier model years. Others with this knowledge can chime in.

The torque converter and pumps are different between the A440 and A442. Dustin has this issue with his adaptr. He was given what we’re supposed to be A440 and A442 parts but he just got A442 parts. So for the adapter to work work with the A440, he had to have a longer snout welded on to engage the pump. All of this can be found in @jtaylor swap thread. Other than that, the patterns are the same, as are the cases.
Nice swap
How does that EGR valve fit back by the firewall? Any close up pictures?
When is Delta making sliders?
I don’t know where mine falls in the build order but the first ones are nearly complete. Last week Delta gave me this pic of it being finished up and almost ready to be powder coated. Sounds like it’ll ship out any moment now.
