    I'm moving to Hanover NH, btw - right off of I-91. Looking forward to your trip up!

    guess i should go searching for treasure at the scrappers, or fork out a grand to one of the jdm sites for a 4agze w/ 5spd. would be nice to get a real tweak from tweak.

    Phoenix tuning ftw :woot:

    It's still a 4.7l, no? iForce / etc, but similar engine. I could be wrong, though.

    Just for kicks, what would you sell yours for? It's quite far away, though...this is what I'm looking at now. KBB Retail is $23,990...private party is just under 20k.

    LOL, that truck looks exactly like a grown-up version of your old Toyota pickup! :D

    Sorry, I thought you meant the new 5.7. I actually didn't realize there was a difference from '04 to '05. Mine is a full 4-door, Limited. I'll sell it to you for $16k. And I'll deliver it to you. ;)

    Oh wait, nevermind, you need 4WD, and mine's not.

    Actually I haven't been fulltime at SCC in over a year, I oversee all the swaps, do all the wiring, and help them out when they get stuck, other than that they've been handling all the "regular" work and I've been doing just wiring and special projects.

    LOL! Yeah he's coming :)

    SCC will still be able to handle all of the regular heavy work, they would have been the ones doing it anyway under my direction :)

    Not in a religious sense :) but not many people work on Toyota cars so since I'm like, the only one, I've always kept busy doing that and I've never had the need to do much on other cars. I have done swaps in Nissan, Honda, Ford, and Mitsubishi cars though, so I'm not against it. What have you got?

    Oh, we're definitely coming.

    Yeah I'm sure we can work something out, shoot me an email at drtweak@phoenixtuning.com and we'll iron out the details.

    That depends, do you have a place to do the conversion? Do you have tools?

    Neither, just going mobile for a while :cool:
