I guess it’s time for another update. Everything has just been crazy busy so trying to work on things where I can. So I started on the rear bumper again which has just been a huge pain in the ass. Managed to get the tire carrier mounted and my flip down tables done as well. This truck will actually have a rear sink on it too for camping, which I’ll try to get pictures of at a later date.
Next on the list was fitting up the hydroboost. I made a custom bracket that bolts to the hydroboost and then to the Toyota firewall. Seem to work great, but I have a cleanse issue near the injector I need to find a solution for. But overall happy with it! Should make this truck really come to a stop now.
Also on the list was making the upper and lower radiator hoses. Being there is such a large difference between hose size on the radiator and engine...I decided to use 2” stainless tubing and just use 2” silicon couplers the reduce the sizes down. I think this is going to work great! I’m really hoping the stock radiator is going to work on this swap. I think it’s a bit on the small side, but I’ll just have to run it and see how she does.
Pretty much all the updates I have at the moment. Waiting on a lot of parts to come in. One challenge I was facing was trying to find a air box that would work. The stock air box is too large and is hitting the engine. So I bought this 3” inlet/outlet filter housing. Maybe I can make this work out, as there space in the engine bay is rapidly running out. Considering mounting both batteries on the drivers side possibly if don’t have room for everything on the passenger side.
Some other things in the works is just trying to run all these hoses. There is multiple to run...like oil filter lines, trans cooler, power steering, black box lines, fuel lines....list goes on.
***if anyone knows how to turn this thread into a build thread that would greatly be appreciated!
