Hah! If they would have tried that with my old high school football team that QB would have been surprised right back when he woke up on the ground. :D

I've read of many people re-using these gaskets with good results. And have read of people tightening down the torque a bit more and taking care of leaks. Should I spray with copper sealer and re-use? I can remove my heads out of my truck in about 1.5 hr and put them back in about 2. So I'm...

Ok here is an interesting topic. I didn't torque down my ARP studs enough to get a good clamp on the Cometic headgaskets. I probably drove it about 1,000 miles before I noticed the engine was running rough so I quickly removed the spark plugs and found the two middle passenger side cylinders...

Yeah just transfer the domain over to your webhost and all will be good. The place you are with is just a small time operation that uses cheap, crappy billing software. Just transfer the domain to anyone else like the other members have said here and you'll have no problems. Make sure and make a...

Yes we all have more than one project in the works! That will be a smooth ride when it's done.

Did you get a pulley yet?

That is awesome! This is one of the best engine swaps I have seen the 1UZ being used for. Yeah I agree that the chassis is a very nice road going vehicle and even offroad. But the engines are just junky. I have a friend with an auto repair facility and he's ALWAYS working on Jeeps and Ford...

A friend of mine just gave up on his 5.9L Jeep Grand. Yeah the engine was bitchen but yeap... the auto trans was acting up on him so he went and traded it in on a new car as fast as he could. A few other things were just falling apart on it as well and it was in GREAT cosmetic condition. They...

This would be a VERY good thing if you could do this. A lot of Jeep people would benefit from such a swap. Off to a great start indeed.

Man I passed an LS460 on the fwy today... what a fine looking car. You don't see many of those around the Central Coast area :). I have two 90's cars that I'm going to sell for a few grand each and buy myself an older RX300. Those things are sweet and go for really reasonable prices. I saw one...

Biggest update this week, grabbed some PIAA lights of the shelf and threw them on the front of the truck. I hate it when people are driving slow and act like you aren't there. These little daytime lights will get their attention I think. They are a quick fix for now until I get my bumpers made...

I would recommend 1UZ.. much easier and cheaper, lighter. Just depends how cheap that 2UZ is and if you are getting EVERYTHING with it. Good work Extremetoy2000 - your brackets and everything look just fine to me - better than most swaps out there. :)

Here's an easy answer. If you want more power then Chevy for sure. Better fuel economy? Both are good on fuel for V8's I think. You can't really use that to compare the engines as it's not really a deciding factor. They will be close in that respect. The UZ is much smoother running so if you...

Video of a friends truck that I was riding around in last weekend. You gotta have nerves of steel to last 5 minutes in this truck at the speeds he drives at. We went over the largest bumps and sane berms I've ever hit at the speed... really really fast and you have to keep telling yourself you...

Just picked this up last week. I'll be trussing the thing from left to right and stuffing it with 35 spline axles. I have hubs and Wilwood brakes I have to pick up as well. My rear suspension was designed with this rear end in mind so I can't wait to actually have this underneath the truck!

18" travel in the rear. Deavers hung on Total Chaos shackles, custom mounts of course. Not sure about what I'll end up with up front. Definitely keeping the 4wd and I'm sure I'll be making some custom axles to get longer travel up there. I'm shooting for 16-18". Should be fun!

Engine runs great - truck is rediculously fast and rollcage is top priority now. I got the wheels I've always wanted and the all terrains ride so much better then the muds - the ride is much better. I'm also am building a full floating Ford 9" rear end which will complete the rear suspension...

Very nice.

That two post mounted IN the floor would be awesome! But that's a ton of $$$. The two posts above ground are the best for a private shop IMO. The four posts is a HUGE setup to have in a single or even double garage. You'll get tired of walking around it really quick. Muffler shops love them but...

Ahhh that would be sweet to have the big LEX engine in there. It's a lot of work and I hope you can do a little fabrication on your own. That things looks tough. You can make a new wiring harness pretty easy. Just unwrap the one you have and get to work making another one. You'll just have to...
