    no real picture updates..... but anyone considering these rigs take into mind the amount of work it will take..... GOD DAMN lol

    Long day in the garage,

    I got the main pulley torque to 325ft lbs, I got the rad re installed and cleaned the living bejesus out of it,as well the tranny cooler and ac condenser
    Alternator is installed
    tomorrow I'll tackle putting the condenser back in and fixing some the wiring that has been bugging me


    Ill take some cleaned up installed pictures tomorrow when I roll it out of the garage.... I poured some rad flush in and top up the system with water...... Im going to run it real hot tomorrow and flush the entire system......

    than im going to dump the system.... and fill her up with some un mixed toyota red and add distilled water to dilute it

    dont run it hot, just let the t stat open let it circulate ur flush mixture, then drain in warm without pulling the radiator cap. it creates a vacuum in the system and pulls almost all the coolant out. a little is left in the block.... but not bad.

    as for the red coolant, 50/50:cheers:

    well I put it all together again and have to replace my new remand power steering pump

    what I have done over the past month

    install my rear bumper
    remove diffs and install new 5.29 gears
    new axle seals again
    ordered and installed new Corbeau XRS Baja suspension seats

    some random pictures over the past month

    Rear Bumper - I wanted to keep the new install to look as factory as possible so I ground EVERY piece of metal that was their from the factory cross member to clean it up and gave it a blast of black rustoluem

    Seat install - note to anyone when ordering the seat rails, pre fit them and be ready to use a BFH before installing the rails to your seats it will save you a huge headache

    hahahaha one is closer than the other in displacement the other is closer in engine code hahahahaha

    I picked up a 6.0L and a 4L65E though I may ditch the tranny for a NV or a 80e, the big thing is honestly deciding if I want an atlas at the same time
