I am sorry I did not notice you had a 97. What kind of ride are you looking for, is this a Daily Driver? What size tire are you wanting to use. I have built three 1st gen tacos. Bilstin gave the best ride for DD and long overlanding trips. It is still in use in my wifes truck . I had OME in the...
If your doing a Tacoma I would look at King Suspension if your ok with the price. All my Tacoma wold buds have ditched there Boss for kings. @Boort we can fix the Rising Sun member just come on track with us or trail clean up and I will sponsor you. Thanks for the complement on the build she is...
Had some down time before work this week so I installed the hand throttle kit I bought. Works great and should help out when filling tires and winching. Thanks @beno for sourcing the new foot pedal.
OK here is a little update. I have 800 mile on her now and I have been running like I would normally drive. I am very imprest with the new motor. I have no problems passing even on the freeway now. Cruise control will keep me at 75mph on my way to work without even down shifting or going over...

Did a little work on the getting the dual battery's back in and cleaning up the wiring. Engine looks awesome. Not sure how I feel about the purple hoses. Have to order some more parts from @NLXTACY. I will say I love Robbie's attention to detail. Exhaust is next.
Robbie has it running and it should be buttoned up today. He sent me this pic a few days ago. Really won't be able to give a honest update till I get 1k on it and I can really put it through its paces. I will post updates as I break it in.
OK big week for the rig. Dropped her off at Robbie's for motor swap. Here are some it pics of the swap so far. Also a big thanks to Onur for getting all the Toyota parts in so fast.
The old motor. It was still running strong just a few oil leaks.
Cleaned up the engine bay a little and...
I have been very happy with this set up. The Blue Sea ML-ACR is very simple and has worked great. I will be adding a third battery just for the fridge hooked up to solar soon. The three fuse box zones has work out great. At this time I can run the fridge for five days befor aux battery is too...
