thanks for all the nice comments everyone. Its been a lot of work, but a lot of fun. Its going to be my daily driver, with some light to moderate off road when the mood strikes. As far as on road goes, its pretty sweet to run 35s and 3.55s be in fifth going 70 with all kinds of power to spare!

Thanks! It has a few mods, some to the injection pump, and a better turbo exhaust housing, a few more planned. Nothing totally crazy tho.

I'd highly recommend putting a governor spring in if you haven't already. More rpm's = more fun... LoL
