yeah , not quite the original ..
I went with the 5VZFE + the supercharger (previously pictured)
I also used the complete wire harness from a /99 4Runner incorporating some of the goodies and adding some of my own ..



including a NEW DASH with the /99 guage cluster ... (in progress)

actually , Yes it was ...

there WAS a wolverine conversion .. like a Trekker I have personally seen it .
from memory .. it was a Trekker like conversion , but like the Trailblazer it had the factory steel box with a fiberglass canopy . it was also a walkthrew , but had no "interior seating" .. just a "plush" covering ...

The problem is .. is there are NO factual pictures (I have found on the internet) , and the company is NOT very forthright on supplying any ?

but the Wolverine did exist at one time .. could "potentially" be the most ever elusive and desirable Toyota/conversion of all time !

I would PAY for even a picture !

I was management at the largest truck dealer in Canada for 20 years (1980-2000) ... I saw all of these units back when they were brand new .. The dealer sold all 3 units , obviously in limited #'s . I have talked to my old "colleagues" hoping someone was "smart" enough to have taken a picture ..

sadly , they are all in the same group as me .. NO pictures
