Got everything important back together over the past few days.

I finally got to drive it today.

It runs great but I was expecting it to be little quicker than it is.
The transmission shifts just fine but 5th is a little noisy.
I took it thru some bumps and it doesnt squeak or rattle at all.
The power steering works great.


But there is a lot of BAD and alot of work left to do.

T-Case is stubborn to shift from 2 to 4 and the shifter interferes with reverse

Heater core needs to be flushed - no heat

Brakes SUCK! pedal goes too floor but probably because I only have front brakes hooked up.

Getting rear discs from TG and I have to piece together a rear brake line from the 4runners left over brake lines.


A lot of misc stuff left to do also.

Bolt in seats.
Attach fenders
Install grille
Attach Tailgate
Shift boot
switch out Tcase shifter
Get the free meats I scored installed

I work a 2000 BMW 540i 6 speed
