If I was buying a Tubdra...double cab is what I would get too. They look so much nicer and tougher ...
Nice ride man.

Update:
I've been extremely busy with a new job lately and just didn't have a desire to work on the supra. We recently started working on it again so here is the progress so far.
Crank Meet Block
New Main Caps:
Main Caps meet Crank No Noises this time!
I lost the pics of just the rods and mains all together
Crank Scraper test Fitting
New Modded Oil Pump and SS line
ARP Head Studs
Titan MHG
We also got the Head on but havent taken the pics yet.
So made some pretty good progress. Don't know when it will be done I'm on the road a lot so finding time is difficult.

Hahahah this is true. I'm over 2 1/2yrs now minus about 200miles on the first bottom end.
Got the motor in last week and amazinly enough it started right up. It needs some work with the fuel map to get it idling perfect. However had an instant tapping noise. We are 99.9% sure it is valves. We used different cams then what orginally came in the head and the tap is about twice that of the rpm's. I did a few quick measurements on the valve clearances on the semi warm motor and no idea where the crank was in relation to which ones I was checking(will be doing it per tsrm saturday). However about 80% of them on the EX side(only side I quickly messed with was too annoyed to do it correctly) were appox .018 and spec is .08 - .012 on a stone cold motor. Luckily I have about 4 spare heads floating around to steal shims from so thats what I'll be doing on saturday.
So I pray it will be fixed with the new correctly spec'd shims. If not will investigate a little more but will not be spending Hundreds of Dollars on a goosehunt. I will just cut my loses and call it quits. I've already have lost to much money with this "project" and need to draw a line somewhere....I'll update after I spec everything out.......
Well........Another set of Bad luck for me.....The noise we thought were the valves ended up to be instant Rod knock....The Cause when the crank was cut the machine shop didn't pull out the Crank plugs and clean all the passages and we didn't know about them to check it until to late. So one more trip to a different machine shop W/ a un-molested crank. Had it cut and all the bearing clearance's set to a spec we wanted. Stressed the need to clean those plugs and passages etc. So got it all back a little to late to make it to Texas yet again. So since I had already put in for PTO for the Texas time frame will be re-building it once again and dropping it in. The car will be 100% done this week/weekend good or bad, meaning this is the last time I'm sinking money into this thing to try and make it work. If it works great, if it doesn't keep an eye out for a part-out thread with a lot of goodies!
