Yea, my fab skills are severly lacking, so the cantilever would be outta my skill level, and I've heard that shock tuning on a cantilever is tough. Im still looking at more travel. Ive also been thinking about CaliFabs 3 link as I have his 4 link and Chance builds pretty good stuff. I got a...

Yea Im pissed I could never get my shit together on one of Steve's kits. Not sure if Im good enough to install it, but I can dream...

When I was in High School 1978 - 1980, Big Foot style builds were getting all the attention in Florida, but me and my surfer buddies loved the new Lil red Toyotas. You could chase the surf on a budget, and then go hit the tight tree lined MX trails all over the state back then. Never got to own...

@turbomonty as everyone knows, its common place to boost these things, so everyone swaps out to Eagle for budget, Carillo and Crower for 500+ HP. I believe Carillo made the originals for TRD on Ivan's 5.0 truck. I heard rumors of a stroked 4.7 up to a 5.7, but I think that was in Australia, or...

Older Sister 1UZ. One of these Lexus LS400 Junk yard engines (Toyota didn't have a production V8 truck engine yet) modified by TRD, won Ivan a Baja 500 its first time out in 97'. Picked it up cheap. Crank spins by hand and it has the thicker 1st gen early 90s rods. Maybe a T100 project one day...

The LPGA aint your Grandmother's golf tour anymore...

Just flew to Ohio yesterday to work an LPGA Golf tournament, was surprised to see Dana as the title sponsor. Pretty cool.

Holy Shit what a difference in body roll. Should've done this years ago SMH. Wish I could afford a full cage....

Also had the inner boot tear on the drivers DK axle around the same time as the rear blew out. DK machines their inner cup to get the extra droop. I also forgot the clearance for CV removal sucks with bump stops. So I decided that removing it was out of the question and let the pressure out...

Also forgot to post this a few months ago. Much larger Lexus RC-F throttle body on a URD adapter plate. Not usually meant for an 03', but w my upgraded 06' plenum, and inverting the throttle body for the harness connector to reach, its works quite well.

600 miles on the diff now, 500 mi oil change was clean w a few tiny specs, so all is good there. Been wanting to tie the Shock towers together for a while now after watching suspension video w my frame flexing several inches. 1.5" DOM. Decided to use a removable weldable clamp on the bypass...

Not being a Fabricator I won't to pretend to know shit, but at $600, this kit seems like a steal. Hope it goes well for you.

Rock Star Status, incredible piece of art. The fact that all that work is done in a home brew shop impresses the shit outta me.

Well the lack of experience rears it's ugly head. Internal baffle is loose, never knew to check for that. Diff has to come back out SMDH...

62 yrs old with bad shoulders from surfing and construction work, I opted for the old man diff tool. ECGS was as stellar as their reputation has been for all these years. Great comms, and a quick turn around. I just now found time this evening to install the 3rd. Hoping the axles and the...
