So what is this rig going to be for?

 

[paulwolf350]

It's an ultimate adventure style rig, built for the week long winching comps in Australia

i decided with the addition of the coilovers I needed a swaybar to lessen some of the body roll from all of the new flex
so Fatz Fabrication hooked me up with this Currie antirock one, I spent most of the day getting it sorted, but i am reasonably happy with the result

need to do some full flex, testing to make sure it doesn't rub anywhere before we burn it in for good.
The truck is starting to take shape, i also mounted a big ass radiator on the back to keep this sucker cool

I have done a few mods to the tray to show you all when they are finished, and i am starting on some under body protection for the old girl as well. She is going to see a lot of rocks in the near future so I need to get some steel underneath

Cheers

Very cool build, keep it up! So if I follow correctly after reading through this, you're keeping the twin turbo 1uz in place of the planned 2uz? Or are you just using the 1uz for mock, and the 2uz will get the TT setup?

 

[paulwolf350]

The 1uz is being used for mock up and to iron the bugs out. I will add the 2uzfe-TT when we need more power

Sweet deal, that's the way to do it!

Some more pics, just to show that I'm still on this. It is taking F O R E V E R, I know. Bloody work, stupid commitments

process budge?

Looking good mate, are you doing wtc this year? Or a different comp? I haven't even been to a wtc round or even the 3 car challenge in years now. Keen to get out and have a look again.

Hey there, I have a running 2UZ with a750 transmission. I just started a build thread on it a few weeks ago. Here's the link:

Let me know if you have any questions! By the way, the immobilizer is extremely easy to work with.

The factory ecu and a750 are long gone mate. Went back to a A440 and haltech ecu.

Haven't raced for a while, need to finish this build, so may not be this year either

 

[paulwolf350]

So working on this again, hopefully this is the last spurt to the finish.

Finally finished the bar work, and have pulled it all off and got it painted.

I'll post some pics of the tray tomorrow.
I need to touch up the cab, then clean up the chassis, then start on final assembly
