4x4’s & Overlanding

@worn2fade That's about what I was expecting, which really isn't bad concidering the fab and r&d work he's already done! Looking at the IG pics of them on a taco i'm in love!
-
@mclaincausey that looks more like mine in it's current state. i kinda like the beaten down look.
if i only could figure out that damn ticking noise in the engine and why it is pulling to one side when braking hard... i'm not new to this, but this is leaving me scratching my head.

@goosehd based on frequency it's cam rpm, not crank rpm. heads completely rebuilt, so it's not a valve. all lifters cleaned and reassembled. only guess is that a lifter is losing pressure under load, because the noise takes some time to appear after startup. don't really want to break in new lifters on this old cam...
-
@goosehd like all my classics - mostly driven just to the shop and back.
I have way too much stuff...
Plan is to go through the front end first, finally dial in the diff properly (you need a spreader for the housing on a dana 30) and double check the brakes in the process. Engine has been this way ever since i slapped it back together when i got the rig, so it'll survive some kms more i guess.
