I need gears bad, that's part of the problem... I still have stock 4.10s. Will be going with 5.29s, but not until I can afford to lock it. So many plans... not enough money or time! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I'm sure mine will last another 150k... I just don't think I can deal with the lack of power and fuel economy for that long. Not that the OM617 would do that much better than what I already have, but at least I can expect 20+mpg. Right now with 35's I get about 12! Sent from my iPhone using OB...

Haha thanks man, it's got a 3.0 in it for now... pervious owner had the head gaskets go out and fixed some time around 100k miles. I'll probably be rolling past 150k in the next couple weeks. Planning a swap but still undecided. I'm torn between the easy route (3.4 Toyota 5VZFE) or the cool...

Camped on the beach Wednesday/Thursday Put the finishing touches on my cargo system today I will eventually be converting the 2x2 wood frame to metal... the wood works okay for now though Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Heard from the shop today... should have my truck back tomorrow with a new custom front driveshaft. Just in time for my trip to Padre Island National Seashore this weekend! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Damn broken drill bit kept me from finishing the front suspension. But at least my spare tire carrier is 90% finished (need to relocate my license plate/run wiring for lights). Gotta wake up real early and put my front end back together before bossman gets to work in the morning lol Sent...

Trying to get ready for a beach trip in two weeks... added a leaf to the rear, working on a tire carrier out of scrap metal from work, building some custom leaf spring mounts on the front to lift the front up a tiny bit more and change my pinion angle so my driveshaft will fit and my steering...

Haha thanks, I think! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Wired up my light bar. Did the SR5 cluster swap Before: During: After: And hopefully tomorrow swapping out the oil pressure sensor and getting it wired up so it works on the new cluster. That single gauge is one of the main reasons I did the swap at all... Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Mounted a 16" light bar... wiring to be completed tonight! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Of course nobody can see my photos... let me see if I can figure than out. *edit, pictures are there!

Still pretty new here, so I figured I'd let yall in on my build. I've been working on my rig for about 6 months now so I've got a lot to catch up on so I'll start from the beginning. I bought a 1990 Toyota Pickup from my buddy who quit working on his 'project' in the middle of a SAS. When I...
