Seeing the DH header install can be “easily” done and the pics are a huge benefit for me.
Looking great

Thank You Sir!! Do yourself a favor and do the headers BEFORE the suspension lol. Actually doing the both jobs at the same time would be perfect, as you could disassemble the suspension, pull your CV axles, and have plenty of room for jacking up the 2UZ to remove the OEM manifolds and then install the headers.
I have to say this build was inspired a lot by the other members who did all this stuff first and your post reminded me that I want to thank a lot of them.
Header Install:
-
@
LT1coupe
was a big help in that regard.
-
@
Marfy
for being a great member liaison with Doug Thorley and diplomatically getting them to listen to and rectify their rust issues, I think we all gained some respect with DT due to his approach.
-
@
blackoutt
for the o2 sensor and cel experiences he went through.
-
@
Formidable
for being one of the first to actually install LTs.
-
@
Inv4drZm
who has helped out a bunch with his knowledge and is now building a set of headers he might try to produce for the 2UZ.
-
@
Jason B
of course, for having good rapport with DT, finding them a donor 4th gen V8 for R & D and putting all these group buys together.
I know there are members I'm forgetting and this was very much a combined effort by a lot of people getting these headers produced. You have probably already seen this thread, but for other members here is a long read and some really good info:
Group buy for Doug Thorley PREMIUM VERSION headers, need 20 people!
The suspension part of this build involved a lot research, and there are so many people on this forum who have been instrumental in that but I can't remember them all.
First for having well thought out and well built components I have to thank
-
@
TOTAL CHAOS
- @Califab Chance Hokanson makes some super strong offset rear links.
A couple people I received shock help from:
- Micah @Down South Motorsports is a great guy and local to you in San Diego, but your lucky because your area is filled with a lot of great fabricators and suspension guys.
- Ben
@
Filthy
Motorsports was a big help having some Coilovers built to match up with my secondaries on the TC dual set up. He has some great videos as well. I rebuilt my 5th gen Kings using his video as a guide.

And finally:
-
@
LTDSC
who's rig I noticed and have been following way before I even bought my 4th gen. His build, documentation, and generosity with info are second to none.
All these folks I have mentioned are bad asses in their own right and I don't think they get thanks enough for making this forum what it is.
Next up for "Pearl", hopefully soon some 4:56 gears and a rear locker, modifying her rear 4 link with some more "up" travel, and hoping to learn some more about tuning the 2UZ to get some respectable N/A power on the ground.
Thanks Again Everyone!!
