Oil pan is done, plenty of added clearance

That came out nice! How deep is the front of your pan? I'm working on one for my 1UZ which should be the same as the 2UZ. I couldn't find much info on minimum oil depths or whatever so I went with ~2.64"

Mine's a bit tighter, 1.75 to the block and using every bit of it for up travel. I was real surprised that even with the rear sump it has less capacity than stock, under 5 qts. You're also going to have to make a trans filler late and the flexplate bolts will be tough to get tight but possible.

:O Well good to know in the future if I need more space I can get away with a much tighter pan. Since I'm swapping it in my Taco I can also move the engine up a bit which should help clear everything. I'm manual as well so I should be good with trans filling and thankfully I don't have a flex plate I need to access.

The Expo was a blast, both my boys loved running around and checking out all the trucks. They led a pack that I'm sure annoyed quite a few but ended up with a pile of stickers that will last a lifetime. Their highlight was being tasked with towing out the SLR trophy truck

Only picture I got was from loading up so just imagine it parked on grass surrounded by much more interesting vehicles.
