Builds Pua'a Tua’h (1 Viewer)

[Cruisers and Co]

I'm about to do something to my frame. It's in great shape with just some surface rust on parts of it. So, if you don't mind sharing, how was it prepped and what did you do inside the boxed portion?

Pressure washed and cleaned very thoroughly, hung the frame with the forklift and ran water through each channel for 30 ish minutes before we cut it apart to get the mud out, sanded and roughed up the existing paint, gave it an acetone bath and then started spraying. We did our best to get inside by using an applicator tip from eastwood. Most of the frame had internal coating besides where we cut and welded it so I am pretty confident what we did will hold up.

Which brand did you use?

Eastwood, I have used their chassis paints in the past with great results. Also comes in single cans so we can reapply as scrapes occur which is nice

Exactly!
It's a used Toyota...

Wow, that looks quite nice!!!

Is that a regular body paint? Or a frame/chassis paint?

I love technology and making sure things fit well on the first go... 40 Gallon tank should be plenty for all the road tripping this pig will do. In tank pump, fully baffled, a few more measurements tomorrow and it'll head to the laser... Good luck banging this one @gonzopancho (Yes that's a challenge!)

Airbox in the works, will use a drop in panel air filter from a 3UR-FE from a 200 Series. Easy, cheap, obtainable and will flow enough air and TOYOTA. Sucking from the passenger fender hole for clean air that is up high since there is no snorkel on this one. Fender hole has more surface area than the front of the turbo inlet so it is a prime candidate to get our air from. Will run a 4" tube direct into the turbo. Not quite wrapped up but it's 11:00 and I am done for the evening, tomorrow we'll get it wrapped up!

Seems like a lot for hauling groceries home from the King Souper.

Maybe the ice cream won’t melt now.

Nice!
It's almost like the Pig was made for this...

How much pressure will she need at the rail?

Shoulda been

1FZ Piggy on coils - this is the way...

Yo dawg, I heard you like clutches…

 

[gonzopancho]

Yes

 

[samc2447]

So does the clutch actually get installed, or do you just carry it around in that fancy case?

Your new fusible link is your driveshaft.

Like an Apple product, someone paid for the nice packaging, and it’s not likely to be the manufacturer.

Your new fusible link is your driveshaft.

Given the H55F and black box, and their associated torque multiplication in front of the driveshaft(s), and the RCV chromoly innards in the axles, this was already true.

The twin disc clutch just makes it more true.

Uniclutch have a couple options for 1hd-fte as well, and you do have my FTE-swapped lx450. Might be an option to consider, and then you’ll have a case for yourself.

this is a really really cool build. Lots of good stuff going on here. It so refreshing to see other shops 3d scanning and designing parts in CAD

62 dash and headlight buckets are for the wife’s 62

The other stuff is the headlight buckets and rings, grille and fender vents for this build. Hat tip to @samc2447 on those.

Gamavitti rack on the right. @nakman of course.

I've been reading up these clutches and they're super cool that the center input is swappable for whatever input shaft you're running. I was wondering when someone would start using them in Land Cruisers.
