    Hahaha so badass. Any more photos of the rectangle frame you’ve built? Is that 2x4 1/8”?

    Did this ever progress anywhere with all the work you have put into the 2nd gen front suspension i am still trying to devise a plan to fund?

    The new 4.3 is all aluminum and weighs less than the 22r. It’s also direct injection and with cam/tune/exhaust makes just over 400hp... keeping it naturally aspirated for simplicity

    Should have some really cool updates shortly, I’ve been kinda stalled out waiting for my hubs and brakes to show up. It’s kind of a science project figuring out how to properly convert from the Ford hubs to the Toyota lug pattern. Pretty happy with what I’ve come up with and the 14” rotors with wilwood calipers is gonna give the thing some insane braking

    I'm interested in how the 4.3 turns out. Ttb on 37s will look sick on a old school mini truck!

    I'm a fan boy of JD Fab! Mostly cuz they are the only few that support the 5 lug n Jesse is a pretty stand up guy. Been in their shop twice and was drooling at all the trucks they were building.

    Which version of the 4.3 did you get? What ecu are you planning to use and why?

    I was looking into a 5.3 with Holley standalone and after searching a bit a on the 4.3 I think you'll get the same results as a v8! :popcorn:

    14" calipers sound insane on a truck so light but your final tire size is 37's or larger? I am curious what you have come up with.

    Got the beams mounted, radius arms made and hubs/rotors assembled. Cycles out 18” of travel with 1 degree caster at full dropout and 16 degrees at full bump
