    Will you be replacing the interior wiring harness too?

    Yes. Because in my dash harness I'm missing a plug for the ECU. I don't know for sure what that plug is for. And there are a few relays that are needed.

    OK... does that mean you will need to replace the dash cluster too?
    Has me thinking of the added wiring I've done to date... that also would need to be redone as well.

    Like I always say... 'It's not custom if it were easy."

    Yes I am replacing the cluster. Also the bell housing from the tranny to the 3.4L is different from the 2.7L. The starter changes location.

    Thanks for the info... I'll continue watching your build.

    Good luck.

    I thought maybe you were skipping out on the SC and going cheap on the "forced" air. :p

    I did find what I was looking for but it had a hole. I'll just order one off Amazon. I seen a 94 4Runner with a 3.0 in it and an older Toyota pick with a 22rz. These where cool to see in a yard like this. Unexpected.

    I was looking for one of these. I like the way is fits in there.

    Edit: I found the exact one on rock auto just a few dollars cheaper then amazon "score".

    That's how I got my $5 methanol tank. Hey, so what's an approximate time frame to put an LT kit on the front. I was thinking two days. Only thing that concerns me is welding in those buckets and cam gussets.

    By your self. 2 days if it goes well. But never count on that. Give yourself at least 4 days from tear down to driving again. Best advise, don't make yourself rush it. Plan on taking your time.

    I know I'll need to schedule in an alignment too. Any recommendations there, was going to do something local like Firestone or midas.

    Yes! I highly recommend @lotsoftoys, Jace N. at Stevinsons toyota west. He understands Long Travel and he's the one going to do mine once it's done. I believe that's in your neck of the woods too.

    Jace I know you'll see this. It's a turbo 1st gen like yours. :D enjoy!
