Supra-truck Build

[Runoveru2]

Getting some work done, engine is in, was a tight fit with the ORI hoops, not sure just yet if hoops have to be modified for height clearance of the oil pan.
The upper link will have to be removed from the passenger side and put on drivers side for clearance issues due to exhaust now being on other side of rig.
had to adapt my water temp sensor with some bushings and drilling to make fitment, Bellhousing is on transmission now and ready to install to get engine and trans and t-case to the height and angle I need.
getting closer but still far away, will keep at it, this covid nonsense is out of control, ordering things I need and have people telling me it could take 6 weeks to get things shipped because of covid restrictions on number of employees allowed at businesses and such.

They're on back order because everyone spent their covid check on offroad parts.

Got my new t-case crossmember and t-case skid plate today, rig lost close to 100 lbs with this new setup + more ground clearance, was able to locate a Lexus is300 ECU factory box to put under the hood to keep everything clean and dry.

Jim needed some help to get this build done, so he brought it over to my place. We have gotten a lot accomplished.
We started by chopping off the frame behind the cab so the new cage could be built.

From there we bent up the rear cage, laid in the new FZ80 full float 9.5 rear axle, installed the rear 4 link, fuel cell, 16" ORI struts, and radiator. We are working on the fuel, power steering, and coolant lines now while we wait on the new front full width axle from Trail Gear.

All I can say is my rig would still be sitting in the garage no where near where it is today.
kevin is making it happen, he is most dedicated, precise, skilled, individual to get this moving along.
still more to go but its getting closer.
would be nice if shipping on parts didnt take so long.

Got the new front axle under the rig with the 3 link and ORI's welded on. Now we wait for the double ended full hydro parts.
