The Patrol - Phase II

What's a small pulley? I wouldn't do any accessory underdrive stuff if that's what it is. We spend too much time at idle, keep it spinning fast.

Why you need a new gas tank? Just worried it isn't big enough?

The small idler pulley is needed to fit the air filter directly onto the throttle body. I don't need a new tank - mine is just modified by droping the stock Toyota pump into it. There is a 5" hole cut out of the top...

Did I see something on FB about replacing the rear axle and 4 link? Was that just old pics of the high 9 swap?

that's old pics of the high 9 swap. I need to call this Phase III but I don't want to start a new thread...

what are you going to do about the electronic throttle body?

**redcagepatrol** · 02-03-2011, 11:25 PM

I was planning on getting a pedal and using it. What do others prefer? Bad idea? I hate running throttle cables... Wire is so much easier!

I have been perfectly happy with the electronic pedal on Pigpen. Cutting and welding the arm will probably take some trial and error though. I would just get a brand new one from the dealership. The one I got from Doggets was only like $10 cheaper than a new one.

I guess the only problem I remember was when your battery or alternator took a crap and you couldn't do anything but idle...

**redcagepatrol** · 05-23-2011, 12:27 PM

for the New buggy Patrol build, should I go with a 4.3 Atlas or a 3.8? The tranny is a 4L60E, 39's and 5.13's in the axles

**robertf03** · 05-23-2011, 12:40 PM

I'd go 3.8. Do they make something higher than that? I think you'll be shifting to high range a lot with an auto and 5.13s

**redcagepatrol** · 05-23-2011, 02:18 PM

they make a 3.0 also - man, I need to re-subscribe to these threads or something, I'm not getting the emails...

**tigweld** · 05-23-2011, 02:19 PM

3.8 if you dont have room for a 4 speed

**redcagepatrol** · 05-23-2011, 03:46 PM

I ordered the 3.8 ratio

**eight** · 05-23-2011, 11:36 PM

Random idea, can you have the idle speed dropped to 600 rpm or so?

That's what I have in the back of the 4speed. It is a good ratio break, not too big, not to small.
