    That's probably my last vote, based on the size and awkward plumbing. I've seen it done, but the amount of frame reinforcements and diff reinforcements would be insane. I'm leaning towards the tdi, or a small turbo.

    The turbos have to stick out of the hood, otherwise they're not big enough :cookiemonster:

    Awesome build man! Good to see another single cab here. Did you have to make some custom brackets for the RSX seats?

    Nope. They were fabbed up on 4Runner frames, and all I changed was the one leg that didn't bolt up. The last owner had them bolted on, instead of welded, which seemed sketchy to me. Guess I was wrong, as the seats held up pretty good to a nasty front end collision in the 4Runner.

    That's awesome! Paradise blue is a fairly uncommon. Can't lose it in the parking lot!

    the color really has grown on me. I want to black out the chrome on mine and get some real rubber and height on the truck but im really happy with it otherwise

    just followed you on IG. Can you take some more pics of that front bumper when you get a chance? how much gap does it have between it and the front center of truck? I've been seeing a weird gap on other plate options and wanted to know if that was the same on this or just those options.

    That thing gets more and more awesome with each photo.
