Welcome to the 2uz club brother
how many of us are there? I can only think of 4.
I need some suspension help. the new v8 weighs less than the old motor. I installed the OME 861 / 862 with Nitro shocks. Truck feels a lot better, but it pushes kinda like a fwd car. In the snow, when i dial in a little right foot (tires slipping) it pulls forward. I need to add a LOT of right foot for the truck to comfortably slip sideways.
Would it be wrong to remove the front sway? (thus reducing a little bit of front spring ?)
Admittedly, I am new to this 4wd stuff, but i would like the rear to have less hookup than the front. suggestions, comments, snide remarks?
jason
Some remove the front sway and don't report too many ill effects. The safety police will probably chime in, I think it's a detriment to high speed manuvers thus causing it to be more hazardous, at least, that's the theoretical thinking. Sounds like you should add winch/bumper/dual batts to add some weight!
How about you drive it to my house and I'll give you $5k!!! Deal right?
If this thing is pretty much rust free, I think you should be able to get something like $15k.
Yup, I was thinking 15-20K as a rough number depending on location variability and if a mudder wants it. The general public won't get the added value of that motor I would imagine.
You Rock!
some more r3vlimited love from this guy

I have seen two swaps on the forum that are as of yet unfinished to my awareness.
Then for running swaps
1. Rob aka Superrunner
2. Myself
3. Christo
4. and You
Regarding your question about price, I have no idea. I was wondering the same thing. I've seen tons of overpriced cruisers. People with built rigs that are beat up trying to get 12k. Then swapped LS powered rigs for between 8-12k
Personally mine isnt for sale. I had two people ask. One guy said he would give me 14k cash and that I was stupid if I didnt take him up on it... I told him to kindly piss off.

It only makes sence. Great cars, great trucks.
I dont think there are many cruuiser guys around this area. At least not to my knowledge.
Goood luck on the supercharger / fresh engine. Sounds like fun.

Rob sold his to someone in CO I think. And wagoneer has one... might be a 60 though. not sure.
I just tallied up the expenses. I spent way more than i budgeted on this project. Not sure if I should cut loose or keep it. Either way, my wife will not be pleased.
cheers, jason
It would be a crime if you put all this money and effort in it and not enjoy it for at least a year. This thing is flipping sweet.
I want your E30... My favorite car of all time
