Sorry I missed the April Run. I have been working 14 hours a day 7 days a week.
Status of vehicle now is I am using as daily however still some minor things before I can off road.
1. Transfer case input shaft seal and bearing to fix a bad leak.
2. Ball joints to fix clunk in front end and avoid catastrophic failure.
Then to enjoy until I can do suspension and other build items. She runs really good and drives nice and in town with a 15 mile commute getting 16.5 mpg and 20-21mpg on my longer runs into civilization.

I definitely understand bro, I took a promotion to manager that takes a lot of my time too...but not quite 7 days a week, you are a beast to pull that off. Let me know if I can help.

Long time but more progress
Okay so after getting the engine in and driving a little bit I found the transfer case and front diff. were spewing oil everywhere. I parked it for several months and finally worked on it last month. I pulled the transfer case and front diff and replaced all the seals. I have been driving it for about a month and it is running great with no leaks so far. I had purchased a cheap $70 lightbar to mount on the bumper and found a guy with some Tundra Wheels in Havasu for real cheap. Still no suspension or armor but here is how she is now.

Still very slow, especially now that my Contract ended and back to looking for work. I just installed new plugs yesterday and will be installing new fuel filters tomorrow. I also put on new stock sized shocks since I do not have the funds for my lift yet. I sometimes get a random CEL and codes that do not correlate with how the vehicle is performing. Also sometimes my scanner is not able to connect/ communicate and read the ECU properly so thinking of replacing the ECU or sending mine to have repaired.
