It's not going to get any better either. It's VERY hard for me to visit clients or engage in any conversation without the other person wanting to go into the subject of politics! Seriously, I've seen people start to just rant about the economy, the president, congress and most commonly start to...

Yeah go with 1UZ. I'm doing it for another reason... you will never break the engine. They are super strong and Ivan Stewerts factory Toyota Baja used them for the last couple years. For a long time his baja race truck was V6. They could run the 1UZ up to 650HP all day long - well all race long...

Lex did you score any deals? I got another flexible set of Gear Wrench metric wrenches. I use them so much that it will be nice to have another set floating around the garage. I also picked up a Craftsman self propelled mower with a Honda engine for $259, what a deal. Put a little bend in the...

HAH an S2000 engine in a bug would be SICK! I love those engines. They are built tight and they rev all day long like a streetbike engine. I've worked on those engines in the past. Love'em. The 1UZ would be super unique and fun... and cheaper compared to the S2000. I was shocked how light the...

I love that video. That must have taken FOREVER to create.

The problem with Sears is that they keep re-inventing common tools! How many kinda of wrenches do we need? But those Gearwrench 7pc sets of wrenches are getting so cheap! I really want a full set of them though. Sears doesn't carry the smaller and larger sizes of ratcheting wrenches or I would...

Let's see some pictures of your dash with the deck installed when you have a chance. Haha don't sweat it. We all know we can't go back and edit posts once the 5 minute time bomb has expired on new posts we write. Yeah car stereo stuff is awesome. Once you have the power you can't go back! As...

The computer is probably learning the fuel curve right now. I know on newer cars they run really wimpy for a while until you get some miles on them. I can't say I have experience with those of course. Have someone check the codes for sure. I also agree that the engine needs to be broken in for a...

Get some nice BLACK window tint on the back half to make it look way better IMO. Not that you have to go limo but a nice 30% tint would make the car look cleaner. Nice ride though. I like black :D

So what are you going to run instead? I would roll with the Motec for sure if I was choosing something different.

Sure! I should be playing with mine this weekend or at least next week FINALLY!!! Front end will be done by the weekend and then I'll be securing the wiring in the engine bay. Going as fast as I can guys.

Yeah this RX is going to rip. A perfect smooth engine that will probably be as smooth as the rotary and sound a hell of a lot better! I've driven a couple 3rd gens and they are quick as hell... but everyone knows the downsides to those engines and all. : \ This is a great solution.

Front end is nearly done and I'm continuing work today. Besides the plastic and the side fenders everything else but the suspension and base frame is hand made at this point. It all just takes time... I have a ton of stuff to do when this truck is done so I'm going as fast as I can. I was out of...

I literally cut everything from the front of the truck the other day. I couldn't see spending one minute reinforcing stock body metal when I could just use that effort towards just making a whole new front end. But I've been making it a point to work a few hours a day at least so things are...

Awesome, I could use a good calendar for next year! I can help out too. ;)

Well I want to keep it looking more like a stock Tacoma. I will use fiberglass fenders down the road. But that's more $$ and I want to have the roll cage from front to back first. Yes I am having a lot of fun with the grinders indeed. I did have a front flip up hood on a F100 1956 Ford hot rod I...

You guys think anyone will want to race me if they see this next to them at a stop light? Might have to cover it up a little bit...

1UZ engine is standing by patiently. :D

No messing around now. I added a lot of steel plating and the tubing is cut for the supports. Tomorrow I'll weld it together and then it will be powdercoated in time to install the day after. The front corners of this truck are going to be many times stronger than factory. I can't wait to drive...

I had to show that awesome grinder off. I love that thing. Having the nice tools makes working on stuff so much more fun, to me anyways. I cut out the whole fender already and tomorrow morning I'm continuing to run chromoly tubing to support everything. It's going to be a lot better spacewise. I...
