Another 1st gem - Kernel MusTURD

Just got home

What an epic trip, wheeled at 5 different places and only had to crimp one terminal and pinch off a brake line that I was too lazy to zip tie up. :homer:

Stay tuned for a full report :flipoff2:

Glad you had a good trip. How'd you crunch your driver side fender?
 
Copy that.
How did the 22re run? Sounds like it didn't give you any problems.

Really good over all. Had good power for what it is and crawled great, spent most of the time in 2nd which works out to like 85:1 and I almost would have been ok if thats as low as i had. 1st is like 140:1 which was plenty and i did use it a few times, but for the most part it was too low. I don't remember my 4runner having as much off idle tq as this, maybe the lce header helps?

It did make some top end noise a few times when it seemed to get a little warm, but I just ignored it since it's just a 22re :laughing:

I does let out a puff of smoke every now and then, but again, just ignored it.

Pulling some of those grades before and after rubicon was no joke :laughing:

Slacking on posting pics of the trip :homer:

I did rip the axles an tires out of this thing and send them to their new home. Buddy is putting them under a double cab 04 tacoma with a 4wu front kit, should be pretty sweet.

Today I spent a little time doing a bunch of dumb shit to make it a roller. That way I can idle backwards 50 feet and then forwards into the "shop"

I did accomplish getting a rough idea of rear ride hieght with the 5" tg leafs in spring under. Seems like it sits a little lower than before, but it's on flat 35s. Goal was roughly the same ride hieght on 40-42

Of course, I didn't take any measurements before. So I'm just guessing. I'm going to try and borrow some tires for mockup and see how it looks.
 
Are you going links or leafs up front?

Links, I have 2.5x16 air shocks for it

Edit: it's getting the whole front end chopped off, frame and core support. Looking at the frame yesterday, the shape is actually pretty good compared to the ifs frame, but at this point it's been scabbed on too much and I'd rather just start fresh with some thicker tubing.
