    Ok time for an update. So I decided I needed to figure out my accessories before proceeding with my motor mounts. The power steering pump and oem motor mount perch were going to try to occupy the same space as I mention in my last update. I had hinted that the power steering pump assembly would...

    Started to modify the toyota 4.0l harmonic balancer. I have a broach on order to open up the key. Before Bringing the thickness down close to the kubota hub thickness. It will fit the tier 4 motor nicely but the tier 2 motor looks like it may need a small spacer. Approx 1/4 inch so it doesnt...

    Ordered up a harmonic balancer for a 1gr-fe. 4.0l toyota v6. Fits the kubota crank shaft 31.01mm. I will use this to base my pulley setup off of. Will also make a alternator pulley that measures 2.45 od to have 95% charging amperage at 1900 (90 amp) and at idle 850 rpm should yield 75 amps...

    I have "heard" that with the right paperwork you can walk into dmv and ask them to verify it is a diesel without going to the ref. Now this will only work for 97 and older. I am going to try this but my vehicles are regestered in a non smog county anyways. The 92 4x4 is heading to chicago...
