motor is in for good, got an LCE dual friction clutch. ps pump actually mounted to the factory bracket for the most part.
just have to put 20 more pounds of crap in a 5 lb bag that already has 10lbs in it
about the only picture ive taken recently.

Looking awesome Steve. Whose Bellhousing and flywheel are you using?

Steve_925 · « **Reply #903 on:** May 04, 2012, 06:19:49 AM »

I have the ks racing bellhousing and the toyotav8 flywheel. The bellhousing is nice but I would get there entire kit or nothing at all. I had problems with getting the throw out bearing to engage the pressure plate, I had to lengthen the clutch fork pivot ball a bunch. And the output(?) doesn't engage the clutch all the way. The W bell might be different though.

I did go and pick up the flywheel from the guy in Modesto and I really like his kit. It uses a OEM hydro throw out from a camero or something. I would get his setup. The only down side to him is that he ovals out the holes on a 3vz flywheel, Wich has worked for everyone he's sold them to. I'm just not sure if it will be able to handle the shock load I'm gonna give it.

Need more info Steve. Part numbers or a link to the entire kit for an R-series tranny if you have it. I want to do this swap but Im not giving up my R tranny that Marlin built for me.

finally got some stuff done! as of yesterday after work i had no steering, no hydro lines setup or routed, and a days worth of loose ends.
long story short me and my dad busted ass last night and all day today and got 99% buttoned up. the steering was a nightmare! im sure i will have some problems, there was just no room to do anything the way i wanted.

got done about an hour ago. pulled it out of the side yard for the first time in a while, putted down my court until the end and got on it through the turn. i actually spun out on asphalt with 40" tires. i couldn't believe it, this thing rips.

test run at carnegie tomorrow

Awesome hilux build.

TacoRunner · « **Reply #910 on:** May 13, 2012, 01:39:41 PM »

Looks like you may have some bump steer issues. Can you change the frame side panhard bracket so that its closer to the same angle as the draglink?

i knew you where going to say that. im gonna see how it feels at moon rocks and if its a problem ill move the panhard.

got drive it today, everything went well with it. no problems with anything so far, other than my steering being very slow. i would get sideways through a turn and i just cant counter steer fast enough. even in the little tight slowish areas i was having problems keeping up with the turns. im gonna call PSC tomorrow and see what they say, probly need a smaller dia ram.

the truck rips though. night and day differeance, with the 2rz i couldnt even take off in high range, now i can light up the tires on the street.

good trip, broke all my hub studs before i even got out of camp. then broke the front ring and pinion.
its pretty fast, to me at least. got up to 57mph on the fire roads before i had to let off due to the drive line

not sure who set it up, i bought it used. im hoping it was a bad setup. either way a ruffstuff housing, hellfire knuckles, and a 9" will be going in eventually. for now though, i need a new r&p
