This thread hasn't been touched in a while...But I just want to say this build has been sweet for this truck. Thanks for all the pictures. Curious-how did you end up wiring and mounting the alt lights? They looks sweet.

Well the oil leak on my 4R was getting bad enough that I finally decided to do something about it. By far one of the worst valve cover gasket jobs to do to date.
You can see where it was leaking. Gaskets are rock solid after just a year. Hmm.

Here's an idea... you should swap in a 22RE that lasts longer than one season.
actually looking into FZJ80'S now... lol.

I can't remember because I never took them off the first time lol.
these do suck. I can do 4th gen V6 VC's in About 30 minutes and that was my first set on a 4th gen. 3rd gens about an hour, 1.5 hours.
second gen took me all damn day.

She's officially up for sale. I know I'll regret it....but I finally bought something I've always wanted.
Proud to say I was able to take it from what it was to what it is now. Such a beautiful truck. I'll post up my ad pics eventually. Hopefully a caring individual will take as good care of it as I have.
