    Sweet :)

    Love watching you guys put these together.


    One question about the air intake though, it looks like your plumbed for front intake but the snorkel has me puzzled. :confused:

    The snorkel was installed a long time ago. The AFE intake sits exactly where the stock system sits, so when he did the snorkel install, the inner tube that runs down the inside was already there so the AFE intake just went in where the stock one was.

    Dan decided to add a toyota style flange to his Dana 44 which makes his set up in the front stronger than the 1310 strap style u joint he had before and he is now able to use a completely all Toyota front driveshaft instead of the hybrid jeep/Toyota unit he had before. He also has alot more flex than he did before and it runs smoother too.

    Sweet. I'm super jealous. I would love to own my own biz when I get older instead of work for a company. Owning a biz and doing something I love is my dream. I look up to you.

    Thank you very much. Keep your dream in front of you at all times and someday you'll make it. My dream was to always have a vehcle of mine on the front cover of a magazine. It happened for me.

    It can happen for you too

    With a Taco like that it deserves more than one magazine cover. Thanks for the inspiration.
