    No I was never an editor, John Cappa is a buddy of mine and I did the build/fab work for the magazine

    Between all the magazine guys and JD Fabrications I’ve been able to learn from the best in the industry

    I’m running the 22r engine with the Weber as well. The new Holley Sniper throttle body EFI seems like an easy upgrade. Have you looked into it?

    The only thing I’m looking into now is a 2jz Supra motor :)

    After this season I plan to chop the front off and put a real motor in it. I love the dunes and need lots more hp.

    If I was only using it to crawl that efi setup would be cool as the truck already does really well with the geared dual tcase setup

    Are you going to ditch the dual cases for a drivetrain that can handle more power? Or are beef up the internal splines and chromoly shafts.

    I already have all the beefy stuff in there and there is no way it’s gonna like 350hp on 37’s.

    The plan is to do a turbo 350 mated to an atlas

    This is it. I have searched for it and I have found it. This is the ultimate 1st gen pickup. My wallet's telling me no. But my mind..... my mind is telling me yes.

    What an awesome build. The attention to detail is amazing. What confuses me is how is it so damn clean?!

    The interior is a nice feature for a rig like this, did you finish the headliner?
