One of the fastest Iroz cars. There are dyno and 1/4 runs of it there. Would rather not fully dox myself 🤡


I put in an order for a Supra to build next a couple months ago. Hopefully that comes soon.
 
Gotta 2019 Tacoma and a 2016 Honda Pilot Elite . Hopin we never have to buy another vehicle.
Notice I said have to . When I get the cash I will definitely purchase a crew cab 5 ton because "Merica" Mother Fucker "😆.

The steal of a deal $1800 desert 🏜 Douchebag white boy special.

2001 Suburban 4x4 with RCD lift ($2500) and 35's already on it. Tires and wheels alone would have cost $2500-3k (Moto Metal 17x9's and BF Goodrich 315/70r17's). Just $$$$ performance rebuilt the 4LSlippy (4L60e). Doing other delayed maintenance things (assorted bushings, axle/wheel bearings, pitman/idler arms etc). And of course nothing is ever complete without some kind of rattle can shit (wheels 😀)

Up next is computer tune for the correct tire size, proper Mishimoto plug/play auxillary transmission cooler (not the $100 poors ebay/amazon 40K with all the jinky gay hose cutting/barb fittings), rear axle bearings and seals, rear transfer case output shaft seal, sway bar bushings, Kryptonite tie rods, new speakers, instrument cluster with transmission temp gauge, fan clutch. I'm probably gonna go up to 4.10 gears all around and Eaton Truetrac rear locker, and down to 33" tires in the future. The current 3.73's and 35's is definitely not ideal for towing plans in the relatively near-ish future.

Had one of those (2500) with ambulance doors for a work vehicle. I loved it. Fuel pumps and power steering pumps were ways failing on them though.

Can the manufacturers bring back the "ball vent" I had in a 69 ford?

Love the ball vent

Yeah, this automated climate controlled crap sucks. In two of my 2021 Toyota's, it's like they have a mind of their own. I just want cool outside air coming into the cab, and it always trying to turn the air conditioning on. And one of them I have to go three deep into the touch screen just to turn the fan down. Who ever thought of that should be shot.

Yeah, I really love the GMT800 platform. The seats are, by far, superior to any other modern GM truck. Ive had a 2006 Sierra Denali, 2013 Silverado, then 2020 Silverado. The 2020 was having odd things happen which pointed to overall build quality issues..... sold that one last September, made a little money, and the search for the GMT800 began. Kinda wanted a 2500 Suburban/Yukon with the 6.0, but didn't have any 4x4 in my general area. Then this 1500 4x4/5.3L popped up for sale a mile away from me with this high quality lift kit, good tires, LT trim, leather seats, pretty good condition 2nd row captains chairs, perfect 3rd row bench, 800w Alpine amplifier,.....and a smoked Transmission. Too good to pass up. They wanted $2500, I got them down to $1800.

My power steering pump had the standard issue leak and whining when I got it.... sucked out the old remaining fluid and she got a whole bottle of Lucas power steering stop leak with a splash of power steering fluid 🤣🤣🤣 always does the trick.

Also had a hint of not quite lifter tick, but just extra valvetrain noise and not-as-smooth idle. No misfire codes or anything bad, but just slight roughness from not being driven much. It was sitting for "a couple months after the transmission lost 3rd/4th" which means sitting for a year LOL. Transmission rebuild, Fresh brake fluid/rotors/pads, bled brakes, did a fresh oil change and dumped a 16oz bottle of Seafoam in the oil, 32oz of Lucas fuel system treatment and Chevron Techron......then drove like a complete asshole for about 200 miles, red line shifts, dirt donuts, etc. So much fun. Oil came out dark as Satan's heart and the valvetrain quieted down, and that engine runs smooooooth now. Good ol' Italian tune-up as my dad says. I'll eventually do some kind of "truck cam".. or just build my own 5.3 bored out to 5.7, or 6.0 or whatever. It'll be a fun truck.

2021 Trail Boss with a few mods, 2023 Camaro 2SS 1LE that hardly gets driven but is fun as hell, 2007 Wrangler for mobbing through the woods, and this fox body is torn down for paint and body work, it’ll have a 331 stroker, T-5 and nothing stock basically.

My 2020 was a Trail Boss. Going off road and climbing trails was indeed cheating.
