So ... found a guy in Washington that will tune this little baby to put out 480 foot Lbs of torque !! Thats more than my 6.0L LS

Cant wait to see this !

Steve

Wow you'll be able to pull full grown trees out of the ground!!
SWEET! you know I'll be watching!

Thanks Wayne !
 

LMAO ... yup, mom will be happy

Who did you source the wheels through?
We’ve been toying with the idea of going to 18s on ours just to give it some more stability on the highway. Nothing like the wallow of 33s on a 15x6 wheel....

Hey Jeff .. the biggest I could go with the smoothie wheels was 16, there may be other adoptions but give Rex a call and ask him about going bigger. He made them to accommodate the OEM hub caps

Mine will be done this week, so hope to see them soon

New wheels
 

I know they aren't Forgeline's but they ARE custom made just for me !!
These are 16x8's powder coated in Wimbledon white smoothie wheels made to accommodate the OEM Toyota hubcaps

Here you go Jeff ...

This is the classic colour combo that we are going with ...
