And all with the help of Chris4x4. He suggested the Deck Plate Mod which is just insanely ingenious and cheap! Pretty much all you do is cut a hole in the front of the Air box which brings cold air right from the grill, and becomes less of a restrictor as far as Air Flow is concerned. The Intake sounds more aggressive too when you really crank it! And when you feel like playing in the Mud, Dust or Water, you just screw a cap over the hole that you cut which is COMPLETELY sealed allowing you to use Toyota's already installed snorkel (Did you know that your truck came with a snorkel? I didnt!)

And the Deck Plate Mod cost less then $20 with everything said and done! Whats really neat is for those of you who are afraid to start modding your truck, you can easily bring it back to stock if you prefer not to have the increased air flow and beefier sound, just by putting the cap back on.

Pretty much all you need to do it is a 4" deck plate (which can be purchased from a boat store) and some sealant (I recommend the "Sensor-Safe" kind so the fumes wont mess with your Mass Airflow Sensor

http://www.trdoffroad.com/articles/deckplate/index.php

Thats where the write up is. But it definitely sounds cooler and allows more airflow which certainly provides increased acceleration.

You can see my dirty K&N Filter which I need to get rid of and just go OEM as Ive been told they catch the much finer particles of dust that are abundant where I am.

Also attached some pics of the old plugs and the new filter (unsure why though

)

Well sorta, Chris4x4 also pointed this out to me. You can see from the pictures of the Air Box that there is a tube that runs into the front right side panel of the truck. From there it runs up to roughly where the Antennae is and thats where air is pulled in. Now sure it isnt the highest point possible on the vehicle to be pulling air in, but It certainly makes it easier for you to drill a hole near the antennea and attach a snorkel from there. It's actually a pretty protected place to be pulling air from if you have a stock setup.

Brutus · 08-26-2009, 09:45 AM

Interesting... I just thought it ran behind the fender and stop like most other cars and trucks.

Turb0wned · 08-26-2009, 02:25 PM

fletch aka · 08-27-2009, 11:57 AM

Bad picture but I added a vintage Hurst shifter handle. Handle is on loan from my older brother. He put it on his first car in 1966, 1953 Mercury. Some of the car's he has had it in include 1968 Lotus Cortina, small block powered Pinto, 1923 T-bucket roadster, 1970 GTX 440 6 pack, 383 stroker powered Volvo and lastly on his 1941 Ford business coupe. He builds hot rods for a living and I asked him about making me a shifter handle for my taco and he loaned me this instead. I added a piece of black shrink tube to the shaft to change it from chrome to black.

Poohey · 08-27-2009, 03:08 PM
