Allenfab’s 2008 5-lug SAS and LS swap

Shit I call that a man with BALLS to try what others wouldn’t.
And I think I can top that. How many of you have hit a parked car on a bicycle?
I have

Screwing around with a few of my buddies doing little short sprints while out doing a training ride I got the jump and looking behind me to see if anyone was going to catch me, I hit a parked car @ 37.5 mph. The only reason I know how fast I was going is the last thing I remember is seeing was the little computer on my handlebars as I was going over the bars. The fastest slow motion on earth….

Only did pulls in 2nd gear as this truck just ain’t designed to spin the tires at 120mph. I don’t have the actual numbers at the moment but final run was around 305hp at the wheels and around 385hp at the crank. I’ll post the actual screenshots once I get them.

with that being said, everything went well and the truck runs and shifts great.

 

And the numbers are…..

 

Numbers in the post with video. Edited after posting

 

I see that!

So I’m just guessing it’s a little bit stronger than the 2.7L & 4.0L?
One more question when you get up to say 70 mph what RPM’s is the engine turning?

 

Just a little stronger haha.

I’ll get back to you on the RPMs at 70. I haven’t put it on the road yet

 

Swapped to an 1.25" master cylinder and FINALLY got the brake lines on the rear axle to stop leaking, so I finally have great brakes.

Topped off fluids, did a bolt check, put insurance and and a tag on it and took it for about a 30 mile drive today.

 

She rips. Got to ride around in it ‍

 

The stars on the steering wheel are my favorite part of this build, can we paint them rainbow colors?

 

absolutely

 

About 200 trouble-free miles so far.

Things I have done since the last post...

- Made a polycarb intake cover to keep some hot air out of the engine
- Added an 18" Vibrant resonator
- Installed new u-joints and seals in the front axle shafts
- Received the Grizzly locker and 4.56 gears for the front
- Received the Warn hubs

I plan on making the install appointment for the front gears sometime next week after I order the install kit.

 

Epic Build

Clean AF

 

SHUT THE F**K UP‼️

Rubbing it in on us poor f**kers who are still down and out!!

I finally just told the shop to redo ALL the Wiring on mine‼️

The new shop going to try to put the GM ECU inside the cab and install most the relays / breakers inside the factory Toyota main box. They said there’s all kinds of space because my truck from the factory is as base as they get with Power Brakes & Steering w/ AC, manual every thing else.
Here’s an example of what the initial installer did! He had to run a power wire from the switch that controls the relays that power the electrical fans. So he used a BLACK wire that was to SHORT, he then butt connected a BLUE wire to finish the connection. Now this was all hidden in a bunch of electrical tape!
You install a power wire and use BLACK wire then change the wire color to BLUE❓ He has lose grounds, bad connections and wrong connections, half the wiring looks like a rats nest and a big F**king mess.
Fucker was either to cheap or lazy to buy red wire⁉️

 

RPMs at speed

 

Congrats I’m jealous!!

 

It's been too hot to do much lately, but still slowly knocking some things out.

- Made some hi-lift mounts for the bed rail
- Built bumper/recovery point mounts and got them welded on.

I've got an idea in my head of what I am going to do with the front bumper stuff now after a year of thinking about it lol

 

The start of the front "bumper"

 

That looks sharp!

 

Clean AF!
