5 Lug Long Travel 2rz Turbo Build

Nice I'll let you know how mine works. I have a momo 350mm wheel and nrg quick release. It's all bolt on to the factory steering shaft. Still need to wire up the horn. I'll get a pic of the interior in a bit.

I'll get you part numbers after the weekend.

 

Fresh interior shots. Need to clean my windows.

 

I like that the drapes match the carpet

 

Dude please tell me you're taking this to the meet tomorrow

I miss your truck I want to see it in person

 

Which one? I'll be in Ocotillo wells tonight and all day tomorrow.

 

And a quick bath.

 

Nah its the big SoCal Rock&Brews meet. Ocotillo sounds more fun though

 

All good. I'll be driving my truck around a lot more this winter into the spring.

 

Favorite pics from today. Truck did great. Handles great. Love how much better the truck likes the cage. Just one electrical bug with the starter cable crimp. Easy fix. Wish I ran the go pro. Hit a crazy section on accident. Felt some good hang time over a 3ft bump at 50mph.

 

I imagine it feels much more rigid and responsive, yes?

 

Oh yeah. No frame flex now. Suspension does all the work and the truck is much more predictable. I tail kicked once and was able to correct it right away. The cage didn't dog down the motor too much. I do need to retune my part throttle fueling. I was running in the low 10 below wot.

 

Tiiight !
We will have to meet up out in ocotillo one of these days

 

Cage looks great man. You ever get anywhere with solid motor mounts or are they still in the works?

 

Hey my buddy just bought an nrg

$128 srk-125h racing style, steering wheel quick release short hub adapter, 6 X 70mm bolt pattern, black body

srk-125h hub adapter to run a racing wheel. You run whatever nrg quick release you like. Mine adapts to a momo 350mm flat wheel (not deep dish) don't want the steering wheel in your chest.

Always out there if I'm not wrenching. Local to San Diego?

Thanks man. Still haven't started on the motor mounts yet. Have all the parts in a box. Might start welding next week or so. My front end is next on my rework list, but trying not to have the truck down for longer than a day.

 

Not anymore, but I will be there often when I get my truck finished. I'm in Phx now

Took truck up to a last minute trip to Johnson valley ohv. she did great. Maybe revalve the rear a bit stiffer for the big stuff. Trust me it felt wild in the truck compared to the video.

 

Did some prep after my trip over thanksgiving. Found a pretty big crack in my lower cross over frame. Gnarstow (Barstow) is no joke to truck abuse. Going to push my brake line out of the way to weld, grind, and plate over on both sides. Toyota doesn't finish up the welds in this section of frame so slamming out your suspension is a bit abusive on your frame.

 

Your hydraulic lines for the steering rack are facing outward? Holy shit I'm jealous haha

 

If I was in a crunch I could switch that rack in a half hour.

 

I've done it 5 times and it still takes me 3 hours after eye-balling an alignment
