Wifes car,
1996 targa, was NA at first now Turbonetics 62mm, also has TT brakes, Apex 3.5" exhaust, 650cc injectors HKS Super AFR for fuel control, Greddy boost controller, Gwalt 18" wheels with 295/35-18 BFG G-force drag radials 3500 RPM stall converter ect........Only running 13 psi now maybe 360 RWHP was trying to run 20-25 PSI and 4 or 5 transmissions later its back on low boost:

But I have LOTS of spare 340E transmission parts for the Cruiser LOL

Good work on the body, now you got one clean Cruiser! I cant wait to see the bumper when done, do you have plans for a swing out or anything else special for it?

Doing dual swing outs...one for the spare tire other for fuel and water. Then I will be doing the rock sliders and a front bumper-winch.

repost for my mud build:

Here is the low down on materials and price up to the point above.

1 stick of 3/16 x 6 flat $75.98
1 stick of 3/16 x 2 flat $22.71
Frame mounts free...cut them off of the OEM receiver :hillbilly:

So if you want a bare bones with no swing outs or recovery points you are in for
$98.69

I have added dual 1000 lbs swing outs for $104.85 shipped

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

and dual clevis recovery tabs for $24.95 shipped

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

$228.40 is the total not counting the steel for the swing out and tire mount but lets say add $50 for that. I will also be adding lots more reinforcement a hitch and tubing on the wings to protect the 1/4 panels...but I have scrap steel for all that from the race car and past projects

I think I may be stealing your rear bumper and making my own soon. Thanks for the links and motivation to make my own!

feel free that why I post it all. Make sure to build it out of cardboard first and make sure you like it. You could make it out of 1/4" also but it is damn heavy in 3/16 lol

Those bumper measurements are just what I have been looking for! Thanks so much for posting that info! Truck is really coming along well. I had a 2jz-gte single supra as well, great fun!

Back in the FZJ80 game again:ylsmoke:
1997 LX450.. no elockers on this one but I already have a Aussie Locker for the rear and looking at options for the front.
Here she is just after pulling the running boards and mall cruiser brush guard. Did the PHH and all belt and hoses. Had to replace the radiator.
Just ordered a TJM 2" lift and five Hankook 285/75R16 MT's

Anyone need this junk??

Soon will be posting a front and rear bumper build and slider...stay tuned:sombrero:
