The company swapped the factory motor for a 6.2 L LS3 V8 crate motor making 430 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque. Behind that is a 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission and rebuilt Toyota transfer case. Power is split between rebuilt axles with ARB locking differentials. On the suspension TLC 4&#215;4 installs Old Man Emu springs, Fox Racing shocks, and rebuilds the factory disc brakes. On the outside the covered the body in Imperial Jade Green and Mystic Gold paint. The front features an 80&#8217;s grill between LED headlights.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=115795\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-115795\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
