Props to Trey for such an awesome build. Hoping my shenanigans can do it justice.

You have issues

Congrats on the sweet toy!

Matt! That was a smoking deal!! Glad you picked it up. I know you will abuse it like it should be.

Tis the season for the hard deck.

My 80 got a RedHead steering box with 105 sector shaft, thanks to @orangefj45 & Valley Hybrids.

That's one less thing making noise on my truck.....

Maybe this means I'll drive the other 80 a little less like an ultra 4 truck.

Essentially a new Toyota long block

Mine! got this last year

Icon 2.5s and Slinky coils for mine.

What Slinky’s did you order? I have the Icon stage 3’s on mine with a 2.5, but it sags a little.

Did you get all new head and innards above the short block as well? I forget.

I got my 80 a pair of front row seat covers from Escape Gear and a rear bumper with tire swing out from Dissent Off-road.

Yes, I did an entire new long block, plus new radiator, alternator, fan, fan clutch, water pump, harmonic balancer, and a few other things that I’ve now forgotten.

I even got a new oil cooler assembly at $600! New distributor, everything except the valve cover including OEM fuel injectors and forgot to keep the old ones. It was a crazy, profligate phase for me and sounds like for you. Now I remember you had a ton of extra time spent with the shop.

Enjoy the drive!

I didn’t get those things. After $12k my wallet was exhausted! It took my mechanic about a year to get it done. I had to hound him to the bitter end to get it done. That’s all in the rear view mirror now. I am enjoying it now. It’s nice knowing I have essentially a brand new, rock solid engine.

I am taking it to Death Valley for a trip the day after Christmas. Good luck with your build! Are you doing a build thread on it?

Nice!

I have a thread somewhere here, but my truck isn’t dramatic enough to be anything worthy of a build show.

I got mine an 18" diode dynamics led light bar and leds for the cluster and a whole lot of gas.. almost pulled the trigger on a comeup 9500 but bought a bunch of plane tickets instead.. I'll probably get the winch anyway though lol.

Some last minute adds: A battery 18" chainsaw, a 2nd pair of tire chains, and a 2nd pair of orange traction boards so I won't be as worried going deeper while solo.

Rear RCV's once the bonus comes.

Let me know how filling out the hubs goes - interested to know how big of a pain that is.

What chainsaw did you get? I need to pull the trigger and pick up a cordless chainsaw.
