Took the bumper I have for it (and the airbox) over to LCS today.

Ordered an intercooler. Might allow me to turn the boost up some.

Pic is from the PDI website (not my truck).

Fit a bumper that was built for an 80-series.

It’s arrived

Since the turbo 1fz-fe is now in the 1966 fj45lv, the new plan for this truck is a LS3 and 6-speed auto.

Paint looks fantastic

That’s because it’s 085 “Lexus Eminent White Pearl”

I have a diesel-swapped lx450 painted the same color.

If that’s the fuel tank your using, it looks like your intake opening is on the wrong side for using a 60 body.
