SeaDrifter's 1997 FZJ80 LS2 2UZ 4.7L Killer

Slee is going to make it right. Guess they ran out of springs so they sent used ones as temps then will get new springs once they come in.. But the shocks are killer lol

Awesome build so far. Keep it coming!

This is going to be a beast.
Where did you get the depo hid's from?

 

[RockJock82]

We got them off Ebay. Yes it WILL be a BEAST

I didn't know you could get depo already retrofitted with projectors and hids on ebay, do you have the eBay seller that you got them from?

He gonna run those bulbs too? I just asked and they don't do a different color bulb with that kit

 

[RockJock82]

There is a guy here on Mud that retrofits them with nice projectors for around 500 or 700 I cant recall and you can pick your color.

 

[Finnyfam60]

vs $280?! No thanks. I'll buy the blue ones and swap bulbs for $50 or $100!! I can settle for hid over projector.
Just wondering what seadrifter had planned..

SO its time to start updating this thread... The suspension is a 6inch lift kit using ADS (Slee)remote resi shocks. The transmission received updates as well, Transgo Full shift kit to boost line pressure to help it survive the LS2. Today the motor and transmission were installed. Funny thing is the front end didnt come down very much lol... Im guessing with the weight of the motor and transmission it compressed about 1-1.5inches. BUT we plan on adding an AOE front bumper/winch. Currently we are also redoing the leather and going to be installing new carpet as well. More updates to come!

Dorkel has been officially landed. Believe it or not the snorkels actually drop air intake temps by up to 50* from what we've seen on tuning. What does this mean? The motor doesn't have to pull timing thus losing performance. Waiting on some parts so more pics to come!
