That's really the whole reason for being on this swap, per-se. Long-term cost benefit is just really appealing.

Who knows what'll happen to it. It'll be long travel next winter-- this winter I made lots of quality of life improvements and had to reengineer the cooling system.

I finally got around to making an IG for this thing yesterday, it's LFX_T4R. There will be lots of content videos on there. I'll start putting more content out again since it's spring and running again-- I ran into some cooling issues ~3hrs into a muddy trail ride and had to reengineer some...

Keisler Automation 3.6L GM LFX '97 T4R Megathread Here she is, bro.

I'd hope that the consensus would be questioning why someone wouldn't do it. I'll hopefully be throwing some content in here sporadically and I'm working on getting an instagram spun up, as annoying and time consuming as that is. Thank you for the kind words!

Still one of the prettiest things out there. My favorite thing to do is run with the LC/GX/5T4R (or even 4T4R) folks on super narrow trails. We've got such a footprint advantage, I daily an '18 GX460 and it's a freaking mammoth in comparison. On the East Coast, having something narrow really...

"Soon" being a relative term, in this case. I got married, moved houses, endured a global pandemic, etc in the time between completing this and actually getting it on paper... Now my goal is to enjoy it haha! I did keep the slip yoke output, but the local driveline shop was so confused by what...

Haha! Thank you! I also love information, given the borderline excruciating amount of detail I included... Glad you appreciate it!

Honestly, if the LS wasn't so damn big, it wouldn't be a bad option. Again, space was a concern given the small footprint of our 3rd gens! I can throw some more engine bay pics up here after these storms go away-- I'm reconfiguring the coolant inlet location right now, but that should be...

The main reason is because I started down this path because of what I've seen from Andrew and the several Rx8's that he's thrown this into, but also because of how clean / oem the swap would turn out and ultimately did turn out on our chassis. It looks/feels factory, aside from the obvious...

Random Photo Dump for Historical Context Random Photo Dump and Historical Context for Progression Sake Before I threw the rear bumper on, it needed some well-deserved TLC from years of abuse and from the few test runs that I did to make sure all of the 4WD components in the swap worked as they...

Keisler Automation 3.6L GM LFX '97 T4R Megathread JWaldz, I've finally done it. The '97 LFX_T4R is here.

So, some of you might know me from the Facebook group or from me buying your stuff, or maybe just because someone you know in the community was talking about this pretty cool contraption that Andrew Keisler over at Keisler Automation and I put together throughout 2019 and now into 2020. This...

Andrew Keisler was local to me before he moved out West, and a very dear friend. He's totally self-taught and if you study the Rx8 material, it's really interesting to see what he's done. This was the very first 4runner that he did, and I developed requirements/use-cases, advised on some of the...

Hey man! Check out Keisler Automation to get an idea of what goes into it. I'm working on a build thread, but it's really extensive and I work full-time / also a full-time student so I'm having difficulty throwing it all together. If you're really curious, I would actually love to give you a...
