id be sad to come all that way to not hear it fire up.

Damn Burnz,
Looking good. I haven't checked out your build in a while. The 1uz looks so good in there. I have a 1uz sitiing in the garage for my swap. Just sold the 22RTE and your build has inspired me to start my swap soon..

 

thanks! i can't wait to drive it and see what the 1uz will do in such a light truck. are you gunna do the wiring yourself?

 

been playing with the wiring a bit







front lights and fan wiring



rear taillight and fuel gauge wiring



underdash wiring in place and awaiting connection



built a battery box



and started running comp wiring

.


i'm gunna be ordering an optima red top, header material, battery cables and some other stuff in the next couple days. also gotta get the adapter for the trans so i can get the driveshaft made

 

that dont look "painless" to me hahaha..... lots of solder and heat shrink, cause I know your gonna make it look good and do it right looking at your other work

 

this guy is a wire nut king! haha jk

 

just fold and tape save the nuts!!!

 

i love to front end, it reminds me of my favorite movie (wheels of terror)

keep up the good work man!

 

thanks!

man that does have a striking similarity lol

 

been doing more work on the lux. it's almost ready to start

more parts came



lokar shifter installed. it's for a chevy 700r4 so i had to do a bit of math and make a new plate where the gear selectors are, also had to flip it from drivers linkage to passenger linkage.



i had to pull the upper and lower intake plenums to get to the starter. i installed the new battery cable as well as the charge wire from alt to starter and starter to battery.

 

fuel filter installed



fuel system hooked up



modified the shift arm to work with lokar shift linkage



trans adapter from driftmotion.com



battery cable to starter



almost done welding and cleaning up the bottom of the cab



alt charge wire and exciter wire

 

Looking great!

 

i would leave the rubber vibration pad on the trans... it helps a ton with vibration
