KOH Tacoma

[Roccrawler]

Well working with fractured ribs and torn cartilege really brings the suck, so progress has been slower than I would have liked, but roughly three days left and we are waiting for torque converter, drive flanges, drive lines, mass airflow sensor and some other items.
We received the incorrect top coils so we are a little taller than we wanted, but still need to add some stuff so we may be okay.

The back end looks sweet.. nice color too :awesomework:

I will Larry disclose whatever monetary amount he wants to, but he has gotten very little for free actually.
Yes, a lot of companies have given him a break on parts (racer & competitor programs) and we are giving him a deal on the labor.
Why, it is a huge event and people want to be involved with it for one. Larry is a young guy and very passionate about doing this, so he has sold many of his other toys and come up with money for parts w/o hesitation. He flew done to the Offroad Expo this last year just to meet people face to face and sell himself on why helping him will benefit them, not just calling around asking for free stuff.
There are a lot of companies that want to help out with the new kid on the block, he could be the next big thing in racing and they are there from the start.

nice response :beer:

Go Pat Go!!!

for those wondering, like Pat said, Larry is a very devoted guy.

Good luck Larry.

Crash, we expect that youll be able to hold a camera in one hand while you help navigate with the other.

If Crash is holding a camera in one hand, controlling the navigation with the other, how is he gonna hold on for his life.

Almost there, Tory, Justin and I have been putting a lot of hours into getting this done, we even had our wifes down helping out today.
On Friday we finally got the correct torque converter so the engine came out to install that, the rear axles showed up and were to large to fit in the locker, they were sent back to be cleaned up, then they turned out to be too long, so they were sent to Jantz to be cut down and resplined, the front inners showed up and were also too long, so Saturday they went to Jantz to be cut down and resplined.
The drivelines were built and delivered Saturday night, this morning we looked at them and the have the wrong size joints on them.
After we got the engine wired up found out we are missing some important items to make it go vrooom. Other than that most things are done, a few cosmetic things to finish and with no seat time or tuning time to race. Oh yeah we wanted to really keep the pre-runner theme going so we left the front fenders and hood white :2fingers:

Well after a little over 8 weeks, Larrys KOH Tacoma left under its own power. It was a full day and had Crash, Larry, Justin, Tory, Crystal and myself finishing enough things to get it ready for the race.

So on the way down we stopped at jess's shop (high angle) in paradise city--he got us taken care of with the yoke/front shaft issues. We spent the day in the parking lot in aplle valley getting alot more of the stuff done(me doing the wiring goods). So we are REALLY close...
