    Supercharger on Ebay what to offer?

    That's what I was afraid of. Getting the missing parts and rebuilding the nose cone and I'm probably better off just getting a new one. Thanks for the feedback.

    Alternate SUV/TRUCK to 3rd Gen

    So a mid 2000's Landcruiser or the LX 470 both have the 4.7 2UZ FE motor. Is that a pretty good drivetrain? It looks like those would fit my criteria nicely.
