And met another cruiser

Got a new bike rack, really like the quality of the 1up. Bike is super stable and secure in the rack

Date night with the wife, think she likes my creation even though she has been extremely skeptical throughout the build

Must be nice to still be driving around with the top off. It has been cold enough here to keep me out if the garage everynight.

I like the stance of your 40, good job it turned out nice.

Thanks, it really came together better than I expected. I had this vision, and trying to explain it to my buddies (all fighter pilots) was challenging. It was a ton of work, lots of welding upside down. I really think all the upside down and out of position welds improved my welding skills a lot. As far as the cold, it's a little chilly in the mornings, but side benefit is I'm wide awake by the time I get to work lol. And I am so excited about how it turned out it could be 30 below and I would still probably drive it.

Still driving without shocks?

Yup, I still need to flex it out to figure out bump stops and measure for the shocks

What brake booster you running with the Vortec?

What brake booster you running with the Vortec?

City racer dual diaphragm, master is the 80 series 1". It will lock up all 4 37" tires if I step on it. Very happy with how the combo works. Front axle has fj60 rotors and 1995 4 runner calipers. Rear is stock fj60 drums with a fresh rebuild

Congrats on putting it back on the road. How do you like the Terminator?

Thanks, I really like the terminator. Only complaint I have is that you don't get all of the options on the hand held programmer. I needed a lap top to program which map sensor I was using. I also didn't like how rich the initial fuel map was set, very conservative. Once I leaned it out (really easy and user friendly) it really started to run a lot better.

Thanks, I’m planning on using the LS Terminator on my next build. I’ve installed the Sniper on our 72 and really like it so far, I’m excited to put some miles on it next spring.

If you are familiar with the sniper u will like the terminator a lot. The harness is labeled really well, and software is pretty much the same

Been reading thru your thread, and have one question. What size exhaust are you running? Judging from the tail pipe, 3"?
