    I'm about 5'10" as well. I'm looking at different cage designs. I wont be running a rear window, and some of the cage can push out the back of the cab.

    Yeah putting the b pillar outside of the cab will make a lot more room.

    So I made my cage WRL/WEC spec, and you can see how tight this gets. They require door bars without bends as of June '23...20240229_185816.jpg 20240229_185803.jpg 20240229_185752.jpg 20240229_185756.jpg

    If you end up getting a 2rz/3rz truck, I will buy the motor/harness/ecu if you decide to go 5vze.

    I will get in touch with you as soon as I have one in hand. Because a 4 cyl will be a LOT easier to find and I am 100% going with a 5vzfe... I already have one on an engine stand in my garage.

    Well... I'm bored off my ass because I can't go to work, or even lift more than 5-10 pounds (Dr orders).

    But... I don't have to lift anything to hit the Proceed to checkout button :rolleyes:

    Things slowed down a bit on this project when I went in the hospital.

    Then we lost our boy... 15 good years.

    FB_IMG_1472832236070.jpg


    Now I'm starting to get back going, gaining stamina back, getting caught back up on work (missed 3 weeks with the Gall Bladder drama).

    The bender project has been completed.

    20240428_190639.jpg

    Started a project to test out the bender and practice the notching skills.

    20240512_180223.jpg

    I'll get things back on track for some excitement soon... or... I'll start wheeling every weekend and put this off till winter lmao... that sounds better.
