Thanks, I appreciate it! I looked back through yours and it looks like we both have Fox notches too, so there must be some kind of similarity in taste there! That doesn't sound fun, hopefully bodywork is minimal. Mine needs paint in an increasingly bad way, but I think I'll wheel it this...

Just Instagram, haphazardly and infrequently. @everyday_gearhead on there. I should probably do a build thread somewhere, maybe here. When I posted last night, my signature reflected progress about halfway through building a truck I sold ~7 years ago, putting my last participation here about...

Very cool build, I'll be going back through it. Really intrigued by the sound blankets, and will be looking hard at them for my own truck. I bet with the oil pan and valve cover ones, you'll see a huge difference. I did a bunch of Dynamat Xtreme in my cab when I did the quad cab swap on my '96...

Jeez, I even posted in one of those threads a year ago and said almost the exact same thing I said yesterday. Apparently my memory sucks. Does not appear that anyone has any conclusive answers for this question, though. I did see some brackets in one of the OvExpo threads last night that...

I'm contemplating the addition of a RTT to my rig in the next several years, but I'm not sold on the ability of the fiberglass top to withstand the weight of the tent and its human contents. The top is pretty tough and certainly heavy, but will it take the weight of a rack, the tent itself, and...

Somehow I'm really not surprised that that thing came out of Boulder.

I think you missed the IFS part.

Yeah, ORS's shop is definitely closed. Now that you mention it, though, I recall hearing that Mike is doing stuff out of his home garage in Kansas now. What were his options for the swap, just a harness or oil pan mods as well?

They are. Marlin seems to be the pioneer when it comes to 3RZ swaps, but I'm not sure if they have wiring harnesses available yet. I'm waiting for a practical solution to the fact that 3RZ oilpans won't clear IFS, but once that's solved or I decide to fab a custom oilpan, it's game on.

If you end up in CO, be sure to give us a shout on CoTTORA. Great group and maybe we can wheel together.

I'll be watching this thread as well, as I've been wanting to build a platform for several years now. I just discovered this week, though, while working on our chicken coop, that carpentry and I do not mix well, so we'll see what ever develops. :p

I told him he should just SAS it and make it huge while he's under there, but he kept whining about something called "money" and an alleged "lack thereof". I dunno what he's talking about. :D That lady was a real pain in the ********, but we got 'r' dun in an hour just to show her how we do. :D

Neat setup. How much do you have in the whole rig, if you don't mind me asking?

My stock '86 4Runner buckets are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in, barring high-dollar race seats.

Did you do the SAS yourself?
