Builds Yajū 野獣 (aka Beast)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Spoke to the REF again. So the LS3 Erod I have can accept a EO# whipple due to the early build date and will pass CA SMOG. If there are any issues I'll just register it with my Trail Tailor LLC in Montana and all good.

Pulled the Whipple and LS3 (2021 build date with RED GM EO# label-- this is one way to tell if your LS3 Erod crate engine is grandfathered in for CA SMOG- IF BLUE, a no go until new paperwork is accepted). I bought this Whipple to go on my Dingo rig and been sitting on the shelf with another one for about 2 years. So blow the dust off and get this party started.

While not needed per Whipple... I'm adding an intercooler as well.

Digging those arms

They are very well built and Tony at TK1 is great to work with.

Tremec arrived with bell and clutch kit. Axis 23 spline to HF2A arrived.

Pulled the spare rebuilt HF2A from @orangefj45 (need another brother!!--- bring up with engines, transmissions and elocked 3rds)

Have you considered doing a 14 bolt in the rear?

 

[klip]

Where did you get the rear full float spindles?

 

[4runner2FJ60]

He made them?

My partner shop makes most of my machined parts.

I only have 3 sets remaining currently and all are spoken for on axle builds.

I'll have another run made as well as knuckle balls in the next 60 days.

That’s awesome! Very nice looking parts. About a year ago I was searching high and low for those spindles. Only found one company that has them and they were impossible to do business with. My plan has changed since. Really look forward to seeing your axle builds.

I've built 30 or so in the past couple years. They are throughout my build threads.

Stripping all the old jute padding off the floor. Pulled the headliner and stripped the roof as well.

Working on the coilover tower design. With having to inset around the 80 steering box I'm using 1/4" HSLA material for the towers. Should have this done soon and off to the laser cutter.

Pulled the body. Will get started stripping the firewall lines and get to cleaning the underbelly.

ROLLING CHASSIS IS SPOKEN FOR, NOT AVAILABLE.

I am doing the exact same set up. What Bellhousing did you go with, Quickdraw? Looks different than mine from advance adaptors.
Thnx
