    Me to :D

    I definately know now that custom fab takes time. It would be similar to if you waited for the race kit. Not everything is a slam dunk the 1st go.

    Yeah! I have also learned that as well. NONE of the time "estimates" were done made on my truck haha. But its all so much worth the wait.

    And when my race kit is ready, Ill be able to just sell this kit now, and then just slap that one on.

    But everything that is built correctly takes a good amount of time, my truck has been down a little over a month. And It doesnt even seem like that much of a wait..

    What all needs to be done before your ready to roll out matt?

    The part we have been waiting on for 2 1/2 weeks from the machine shop was completed on Friday so that will go on this week. With the spacers I have up front now my tires will hit the fiberglass at stuff so I didn't want to go out and break anything.

    Hoping to get one more round of testing in and have the kit powdercoated before the Mojave trip. Eddie's Defined SUA is coming off this week or next, so it will be going on the truck when it goes back in before Mojave.

    Current plan is to have my truck in the shop the last week of May when I go to Hawaii to get my frame boxed, cage and triples installed.

    So true, I wish I could have done everything at once. But I'm doing it in stages over a few months. A few vacations and some other big ticket items I bought have pushed my schedule back some. I will have the truck to where I completely want it by fall.

    For anyone with a 5vz motor looking for new motor mounts.

    Do not order from LCEngineering as they have parts listed that will work but are not actually going to because they are for the 4cyl motors..

    Had my engine up and ready to swap some I ordered only to realize they were for a 2rz...

    After calling them and bein told I ordered those I went to the website and low and behold all motors including 5vz are listed as compatible but obviously a typo.

    So now I'm out gas to my mechanic, labor for the work and shipping to send them back via RMA.

    I'm 10 kinds of pissed off.

    This is the last time I deal with LCEngineering!!!!!

    On another note instill need motor mounts replaced... :(
