Daher Kodiak, they're an airplane manufacturer at the Sandpoint airport. I was trying to get that job more because airplanes and the skiing. Unfortunate about the wheeling

Well got busy with my day job and side work and haven't updated this in a long time. Tinkered on the 4runner here and there. Picked up and rebuilt a new motor. Ended up getting a great deal on a 6.0, that turned out to be a truck LS2 from a TBSS or SSR. Stock rebuild with a TSP truck cam to delete the vvt.

Built an engine cage that ties into the cab cage and opted to cut out the whole firewall... once I get everthing in and the cage tubes in, I can start to figure out how to build a new firewall. Not a lot of room with a v8 pushed back under the cowl of a first gen 4runner

With the motor out I've been working on finishing up as much of the front cage and frame welding as I can. lots of teadious stuff and just keep finding things to add to my list. Hoping to drop the motor back in so I can figure out the firewall and than engine plumbing. Also picked up a set of bypasses from a friend who was parting out a project. They are making their way on to the front of the 4runner pretty sure..

Not great at stepping back to take photos as I work on things but here's were it's at so far
