The Josh's Build Thread

wow, that is awesome. I love your runner, and you did a great job on it. Did I miss something?Why did you swap out your motor?

thank you much, its taking alot of planning haha!!

i swapped it out due to a warped head, there is a thread somewhere in here....

so the new engine has about 50k now

Did you replace the Toyota motor with the same or install something completely different?
 
Great Lookin Setup!!! I only hope i can get somewhere near there someday.

When you were runnin the cornfed spacer kit, was is a 2/1 or a 3/2?

I also noticed that you put 285's on and left the mudflaps on, was there no rubbing on them?, What size wheel spacers/adapters did you have?

Thanks!! It did take many years for me to get to this point!! haha

when I had the cornfed I was running the 3/2 one and was very happy with it,
I have the 1.5 spidertrax wheel spacers and I just had to remove the front mudflaps because of rubbing, the rear ones were fine
 
well yesterday i wired up my blue seas fuse block to my second battery and i replaced the old factory terminals with monster cable multi terminals, im very happy with the outcome, now sometime this week ill clean up all the other wiring in the engine bay and rewire and ground everything back to the fuse block

Your vehicle is looking AWESOME!! Checked out your video too, nice. :hatsoff:How do you like the new Radflo suspension:cool: and how does it feel on/off road compared to the OME you previously had? Please tell us a little bit about the suspension. Any pic's of the Radflo would be cool too. Did you install them yourself? I really like the mods you have done keep up the trail happy monster. :driving:

I'm not gonna lie, I cringed when I saw your sliders flex. Never have seen sliders in action before. Sick truck!
