    thanks

    lol maybe after i figure out my current traction issues i'll look into more power. i'd love to do turbos with an intercooler but don't think i have the space.

    So after going through this awesome build again... Yes, all 87 pages. I've been looking at it for 2, maybe 3 hours... I heard that you sold it... Is that true? I am guessing so since there has not been anything on it in a while.

    yeah i sold it to a friend june 29 2014. he had it for a several months and had some stuff done to it like a quieter exhaust and had the grille finish welded. he ended up trading it to another friend of ours and it's now up in washington. new owner has been doing a lot to it, he definitely has the skills to get it finished. he owns a shop called soundwerks. there is a facebook page for his shop.

    Hey man, I started looking into the 1UZ as a possible candidate for my truck in the future. I didn't notice on here you mentioning any huge difficulties with its install. How was it to get in the truck? any major frame stiffening needed? And how was the fit?
