Thanks for the updates and such a cool build. Video of start up works on my end and sounds like a start up of an Ultra4 rig not a Won-Tundra.

Thanks. i love the way it sounds, but it really is too loud at cruising rpms. I wouldnt call it a drone. Id like to quiet it down some so i can hear myself think while driving it. May add a resonator, or two, before the muffler. Maybe not.

EDIT: I plan on adding a baby truck norris cam to my 4.3L LV3 v6 in the new buggy. I love the chop.

Makes sense there cruising sound wise.

This build came out tits.

Yeah, this thing is pretty sweet!

I have an 06' Double Cab I'm thinking of turning into a family wheeler. I would keep the 4.7, trans, add a TacoBox, and some 05+ SD Axles.

Question, is your dash a Christmas tree? I'm worried about my Traction Control System putting my truck in limp mode.

Thanks man. Mine started out as a v6 6-speed 2wd truck. With the Holley terminator running my LS, I chose to use their Holley digital dash. I gutted the factory cluster and adapted the Holley dash. I have no original ecu anymore so I don’t see any codes or lights on the dash. For your truck I have no idea how it would work, but I’d expect a Christmas tree. I chose the easy route.

This is such a cool build. It would work well at so many things. You can have a cool DD, mild crawler, oven well built overland setup.

Thank you. I love driving it. Once i get the AC working, it will be near perfect.

I've shown this a few times to a buddy who has a sequoia trying to get him to cut it. This looks awesome!

Thanks. He should definitely do it. 100% will not regret.

Badass build! If you could make about 10 more and sell them at cheap prices , we would appreciate it 😂 Got to love the truck Norris cam I plan to put one in my suburban daily driver I have reports for 2mpg gained with them if you can keep your foot out in stock trucks and suvs

Got anything new with this one?

 

[fl0w3n]

Can you share more details on the remote mount hydro boost? Never seen that before

Nothing new. Just been driving it and enjoying. Still looking for the right white camper shell though.

It uses a clutch master and slave cylinder (same a the one that actuates a clutch fork externally) to actuate the hydroboost. I bought an adapter for the chevy hydroboost and bolted up the slave cylinder. I bought a second identical clutch master as i am using for my transmission and made a plate to bolt it up to the firewall in the spot of the original brake booster. An AN line connects the master to the slave. It works like normal and you would never know the hydroboost is not on the firewall. You can make the AN line as long as you want and mount the hydroboost wherever. You will also need to make a longer pressure line if using hydroboost.

Pics aren't loading for me about halfway down the build.

Check them now. Not sure what happened.

Good deal. I've seen it lurking in the Dirt Squirrel 2.0 thread so was curious.

Well, 3.0 is currently getting built on the table now.

Dirt Squirrel 3.0 - The 2nd Mortgage

I figured i would start a build thread on the new buggy, mainly to ask questions to those with more experience, and to document parts, dimensions, thought process, etc. for the build. I just sold version 2.0 which was also a tube buggy, but built around a 79-83 first gen toyota Cab. It had 2x3...

Nope. Just driving it a few days a week and enjoying it.

Time to do some overlanding in northern new mexico and colorado so i needed a camper shell. Finally found one for a good deal after searching for a long while. I wanted a color matched white one but black will work too. Ive been doing some work on the truck to get it ready for the trip. Installed two vibrant resonators to keep the exhaust note down. Damn it sounded good before but now i can actually hear the radio whn going 70mph. Gay, i know. But im getting old. I also installed a new oil pan gasket.

Sleeping platform for the back with ample room for storage for coolers and everything else an overlander needs.

Im going to add a 12V plug in the bed as well for a fridge and USB charging. Im also hoping to finally get the new carpet and some sound deadening installed before i leave on the trip.

Topside Paint (marine) works wonders for the interior of caps! I had one that looked worse that yours, now its a joy to be inside of!
