False. Some manufacturers are running multiple injectors (such as the BRZ/FRS, I believe it's Toyota's system). They have a large direct injector, and a smaller port injector to handle idle/low load situations and valve cleaning. Bull.Shit. DI allows an engine to produce more power while...

God dammit. That's going to look AWFUL in chrome. :facepalm:

Hey if you see something glaring let me know, I'm far from an expert on this shit. I usually deal with things that move. :lol:

All of the sharp corners are going to be drilled and most will also be welded over. It should make more sense once you see it finished I'm definitely not super experienced with structural stuff but I don't see it being much of an issue. I ran a quick FEA on it compared to the stock frame in...

Good news and bad news. Good news: I was able to stop by my buddy's shop last night and we got the notch all bent up. The bad news: I'm sick as shit and in no condition to be working on the truck. Next weekend shits getting real.

Worked great! Thing vibrates like a mofo, but it turned out awesome. Thanks again man.

:lol: Meh, it's just a truck frame. Worst case scenario it breaks and I build it stronger. It's definitely stronger than all of the off the shelf bolt in or weld in notches, so I think I'll be alright. Yall can have your buildings and bridges, if those fail I don't wanna be responsible. :lol:

Shit's gonna get interesting this weekend. DJM LCAs, McGaughy's flip kit, and part of the step notch I designed. Also have McG's spindles, and Belltech shocks sitting in my parents' garage, just didn't get any pictures. Here's a rough idea of how the notch should look. Also realized I...

The kids drink that much beer?

When is there beer? I think you guys didn't have any when I was there last, I know I definitely wasn't old enough to drink. :lol:

Look at that intimidating beast. :lol: So on Friday night i tinted my windows. And on Saturday afternoon I ripped it off. 20% is way too dark for me, felt claustrophobic. The 35% on the green truck was perfect, gonna order some of that. In more exciting news, I ordered a shitload of...

What buffer? I ordered from Amazon, I could always return it haha.

Guys, my truck is officially NOT STOCK anymore! Tore off the moldings and badges the other day. Super exciting, I know. Paid the truck off this weekend, so suspension parts should start to get ordered in the next week or so, and I'm working on a frame notch design and finding someone with...

Yes. So... Good news and bad news. Good news: I found out why the 6.0 lost oil pressure, it was in fact the bypass valve in the oil pump that was stuck open. Bad news: One cam lobe is pretty fucked, and there's a significant amount of play in the #1 rod bearing. So it looks like I'll be...

It looks like it's either that or the bypass valve in the pump. Hoping it's just the o-ring, that'll make my life easier.

Shouldn't need a rebuild, it lost oil pressure while sitting (somehow) and was never driven only idled, so there should be no bearing issues, and the motor itself only has 65k on it. Gonna still pull the pan and cut up the filter to make sure there's no fuckery going on, and pull the oil pump...

All I can say is I'm glad it's a 3 day weekend. :lol:

It's really incredible. Having complete access to it feels like I'm doing something wrong. Green truck is being parted out, and then either sold or scrapped. It's in pretty sorry shape. I stripped almost everything I wanted other than interior parts off the green truck yesterday, the...

So I guess I officially got this project started yesterday. Had a lot of things going on lately, and since I haven't been traveling as much for work money has been tighter so I haven't really been able to start acquiring many parts, but I was able to get the 6.0 out of the green truck. Doing all...

For those of you that don't know, a couple weeks ago I flew down to Georgia and drove back a 2001 Z71 regular cab short bed with 190,000 miles and most importantly, no rust. The truck wasn't quite as clean as I was hoping for, but whatever. It looks decent from 10 feet, and I can fix everything...

It drove pretty good. Engine runs great and the trans shifts well, which is good because it'll be my main transportation for the next couple months. The rear brakes are warped pretty bad, but I'm planning to upgrade to the SUV rear brakes pretty soon so I'll just cut them on my buddy's brake...

Haha I'm in Rochester, NY for work, 350 miles away from the truck. I've covered pretty much the entire east coast in the last 3 days.

The truck isn't perfect, but it seems like it should make it back to NJ! Rust free, and it drives well enough so I'm happy.

You're in NC, right? Pretty sure I won't be hitting 95 until somewhere around Fredericksburg, VA. My buddy who's coming with me and I have always wanted to check out the blue ridge parkway so we'll be on 81 most of the way.

Hmm... I like it.
