    Looking forward to seeing the final build. Trying to get my own started but ended up with a 2nd truck rather then starting my swap.

    Knowing that your truck has been apart for a year makes me feel better about how long my truck has been apart.

      @ my cab is gonna come off. Engine out, tranny out, everything on to a shorter frame with the ability to have a lower ride height but just as much travel. Just gotta get some other projects dealt with first.

    It'd be cool to hear how you learned all of these skills. Are you self-taught?
    One thing's for sure, you come from good people. Canada should be proud.
    What you do is incredibly difficult. You always have such a positive attitude too. I really appreciate what you are doing.
    I can't wait to see you drive that truck.
    I am in the process of fixing up my old Tacoma and I am in love with that 1UZ.

      @jsvallee567 haha ive done a tiny bit to the mazda in the past 6 months :P i finally got a bumper mostly built for it hahaha there's not much more it really needs... speedo, shocks and a compressor. It's just a financial thing at this point haha! I don't have like 2 grand for shocks :P

    Thumb.... is it fully healed, and functional ?

    • @DirtGarage
      @DirtGarage  Місяць тому +1

      No, needs another surgery come spring. Mobility is lacking and it still hurts to use, I've just been powering through it. I can deal with lack of mobility, the other thumb joints make up for it, but it would be nice if it didnt hurt. Realisticaly if the pain is gone by spring I'll likely pass on getting it operated on again.

    This is why the upper link goes on the pumpkin side. Lemme know if you wanna see how I did mine. It’s SUPER tight. Especially after adding hydro assist

    3 link projects every time I watch one on UA-cam always look hard to do. A lot of trial and error. Yours is looks nice! If you ever swap the motor again you should 2jz swap it..

    • @DirtGarage
      @DirtGarage  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah you gotta be prepared to do alot of math and problem solving in a 3 link suspension. Caveman leaf springs are sooo much easier to deal with, I am excited to see how this suspension compares though. Should be worth it!
