Here I go again, making more work for myself but I love this stuff. I've always wanted to make some nice clean fenders. Well I'm going to make the right fender to accommodate the intake system of course. It's going to be 100 times better. I already cut things out to make space so I could see how...

I like to live dangerously. :) Well they do get in the way. And when your working on small stuff you just make sure and be extra careful for the small amount of time you use it. On bigger stuff I would put the shield back on of course. If I had a shop with employees I would require them to put...

Super strong front body mounts and anchor points for future roll cage mostly completed. The rest of the welding and boxing in will be done at my friends shop with his welders. Then of course I had to extend the steering shaft. The steering column was the only thing that I didn't remove when I...

Yeap it looks like our projects will be running soon. I'm getting pumped up to go finish this fab work this morning.

Those are my favorite hot rod cars! I love those RX's. I've modified a few race built RX FD's and they haul butt. Of course the engines are doomed with the wimpy cooling system and such but they haul the mail. I miss em. Putting a lightweight 1UZ in one is the right thing to do! You'll have an...

I didn't slack off today at all guys. I went ahead and cut off my front frame/body mounts and got rid of the spacers! I added another inch of lift as well and it solved a whole bunch of problems for me already. My radiator is going to fit so much better and my tires will have more clearance for...

Awesome you got the LPG going! I'm totally interested in something like that. I want to do HHO maybe after my truck is complete and I need something else to do. That inclinometer is a great idea as well. I would have to make it removeable for when I go offroad. It would drive me nuts. The rig is...

Hey Earthman orange, heh yeah that air filter system looks like it belongs on the side of a big rig hauler. =] It's just nice to have something different. I'm going to start rebuilding the body mounts from the frame this morning and get rid of the body lift spacers. Then I'll have some more...

I don't know what to do with this thing. The inlet is actually the hole on the side that I have sitting on the manifold inlet. Haha it just made me smile when I opened up the big box that it came in today. :scratchchin: Time to do some fender choppin! The wheel comes within .5" of hitting...

You can never have enough Cow Bell !!! It also comes with a handy snorkle!

Yeah I remember that group buy attempt. I got the Adaptronic and my engine builder told me to be on the lookout for adjustable cam gears to squeeze some more power out of it. I don't see it happening unless I have some made myself. No big deal.

Someone needs to make us some adjustable cam gears that aren't a thousand dollars. :poke:

:D

Oh yeah, don't you need that space in the engine compartment to fit the turbos and all that stuff? That's why you need to ditch the battery...

Ahh Jibb you gotta keep the PS. It can be fixed! You can get a rebuilt one from Carquest for cheap and it comes with a crazy warranty! I had a custom high pressure line MADE for me for under $100 and it converts the line to standard fittings so if mine breaks ever I can go to any hydraulic hose...

Haha forums don't run themselves kids! That's the lesson for today. If I say anything else here it will compromise your security.

Now I can sleep at night!! I was going to be pretty bummed if I fired up my project and couldn't post the video on here! :D

It won't be too much longer now. Tomorrow I'll be lowering the transmission down yet again for another adjustment. Then I won't be having to do anymore of the transmission monkey business. I'm ready to move on and work on the top side of the truck for once!

Easier said than done. :thinking:

Here is the source of my procrastination. I'm just having too much fun at the end of this summer and being on my back under the truck in the heat bench pressing my transmission isn't very appealing. Making more custom parts.
