Waz up TW...

Sorry to start a new build thread all together, but yes I am starting the transformation of my truck as of today. Should have it all completed within the next 2-3 weeks. I will post updates as I complete and look forward to any comments and questions. And as always to each his own, just thought I'd share with our TW brothers...

Stock: Pic I had on Lap Top while deployed. Knew Tacoma was for me...


Delivered to Lot: Sales guy sent pic to me while deployed



I installed the AFE SI CAI, and Banks 3" Monster Exhaust. The Intake was installed to replace the Volant. I felt the design is more productive for the Future MODs I will be installing here shortly. The exhaust is awesome. Yeah I know 3" Diameter will somewhat cause a loss in the low end, but believe me soo I barely notice it, and the deep rumble is outstanding.




This muffler is huge. And the piping is solid. No wonder they call it the Monster





Ok, installed the new DTLT Headers with 5/8 primaries. Easy install except for the drivers side. But all went well. This set up all together has a nice rumble at low RPMs and rocks when above 3500rpm. I am on course for F/I madness Yes and they larger primaries remove any and all anoying Rasp...

In these pics you can see the changes in the bends and size of pipe. Sorry forgot pics of the primaries.


Installed



Stage III Clutch & Light Weight F/W w/PDM Sleeve kit



Soon to be mounted, Once I pick up the correct Lugs...
18x9 XD Monsters mounted on Cooper Zeon LTZ's (33" tires changed to 31.5") Wanted something Different, but the deal I got on these was sweet.


Okk well the new clutch & FlyWheel is the bomb. PDM kit installed, will keep all posted. FYI For all 6spd Taco owners, XRU is having a group buy for the PDM kit. Might want to look into that. Deffinately quality stuff. Truck is a challenge to drive now. 300 miles into my 500 mile break in period. Hate not being able to open her up. oh well, will havve lots of fun doing that after the SC install.

Finally got the wheels mounted, here are a few pics, hanging out at Carolina Beach




Here are a couple of Pics of my trucks new stance... Got the 5100's set to stock zero setting and installed the Eibachs, also removed rear add-a-leafs.. Overall 1" lower all around, and installed some LR UCA's.. Loving the smoothe ride

Hemi?

 

Nice!

Thank you for your service!

 

Couple pics and Headers installed.

 

New parts being installed. Work in progress, but coming along just right.

On a side note I took my truck in to the stealership today for AC service. No cool air in system. Dealer calls saying that the reason this was happening was because I installed Headers and had to remove AC Unit to do so. LMFAO... Soo after I squashed that bull crap, Had my AC Recharged, and a Transfer case seal replaced all under warranty. Ha, I love it when they try to pull a fast one and you just slap it right back with a bullshit card.

More to come...

 

Make sure you post a sound clip! Im jealous!

Whats TRD stage III? 7th injector x-1 and machined port with the 2.7 pulley?

 

I like, I like it alot.

 

Allan just finished up my pulley install. Will be shipping back. Should begin SC install Monday. I will do the Walbro fuel pump and 7th Inj. myself. SC, along with the 688cc Inj will be installed at a performance shop. I have too many things on the plate with family and all and dont have time to commit to this project, so please dont hate. Im sure it would of been and exciting long day of install, but right now I just want to feel the Boost

 

Video of the set up at WOT?

 

Well with Just the AFE, new DTLT's, and Banks I have this for now:

WOT not possible yet, due to Break in period of my new clutch and Flywheel.

Got a litle over a 100 miles to go. Will definatley post a WOT through the gears both before and after TRD SC install..

 

Sounds like....SECKS!

 

Im not hating I think this is awesome, I just wish I could not spend my money long enough to get my shit together and do this. I would love an extra 100hp, but then I need to beef the transmission and the list goes on. Maybe if I hadnt bought the new dirtbike lol.

 

sold. im scrapping the pipe bomb and gonna slap on the new dtlt's just waiting patiently for the x-1 to be released for the new ecu

 

Sounds good. I hear that rasp in there though!

 

Nah I know, lots of folks were telling me to do it myself. And I was all about it, but when you come back from deployment, Family comes first. I still have Eibach springs, rear leaf adjustments, fuel pump, and 7th to install. If you add all that up Kids will be like WTF dad, ha ha ha...

Overall I got lucky. Dealership will install for $650. And thats with them knowing I have the pulley, 688cc Injectors, and refusal of the reflash. This was per discussion with senior mechanic. Of coarse its on me if something goes bad, but the M. Act is still in place. they need to prove that my mods caused the problem. And this was the dealerships statement not mine. So yeah next week will be all smiles on my end

Note to all: if yo get the SC reflash from the Dealership, it will include some wacky fuel cutoff program as a result with the new recall involving the Gas pedal Mod. I am glad I am refusing the reflash. Mechanic told me straight up customers are not liking the change to include the cut pedal. But a modified pedal will be installed if not satisfied... Too bad the Flash cant be reversed also

APR X-1 FTMFW

 

J/K

I hear so many people call out rasp on exh set ups, but seriously, the only anoying sound that gets to me is the fart can four banger exh. and the nasty Flowmaster blaaah sound. But like I've always said to each their own. And Im owning this setup fo sho

Hear this in person and you will be stoked. The URD is the only other set up I liked as far as the rumble and pipe sizing, just figured I save $100

 

Are you running stock Y-pipe or URD these days? Im too lazy to scroll up and read

 

I will be inserting a full parts list for members to view.
