TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I gotta come check them out. Do you have front and back?

 

Just front, my backs stay folded down 90% of the time. I've had them for about a year and a half now and they've held up great

 

i have them on my taco. love them. theyre just so expensive lol

 

I need some wheel spacers! Anyone know the best place to purchase them? Just need the front set.

 

Bora wheel spacers will make you whatever size you want and they're pretty cheap too.

Cleared the 35s

 

@BigFishAllDay went with KO2's? Can't tell but are they the 34 skinnies?

 

Shoot maybe I shouldn't have posted that particular picture.

 

Muahahahaha, knew he got new tires just wasn't sure what.

 

So I have hit a rough patch on the supercharger install. The gasket, check valve, and vacuum tee are about impossible to find. Also cant find the template. Granted, I can cut till it fits... Also going to fab up the relocation brackets. The small things are killer. haha

 

The throttle body gasket? Did Toyota stop making those? Also I used generic vacuum tees for my install and you can run it without the check valve and just add it later. Really you just need to bring in the IAC hose (or measure it which will be a better option) and ask for all the one wake brake valves they have at the parts store. It's a very simple part and tons of makes use one, just need to find the right fit.

I never used the wire loom bracket and just made a oil dipstick bracket out of some thick aluminum. It only needs to have two holes and about 1.5" long.

 

Haha I've only installed and rebuilt 4 superchargers over the years. Both 1st and 4th gens, static and dynamic tensioners, so I've seen it all. The black 4th gen are very simple to install and aren't as menacing as people think (I'm sure you know from experience). Just have to have some patience and double check everything is on right or you'll be chasing CEL and vacuum leaks like a mad man. The 1st gens just have more pieces and the vacuum routing is annoying and not documented very well (I should have documented mine before I uninstalled it).

 

Good to know, thank you.

I was going to use the stock metal gasket with some RTV. The instrucktions call for the paper gasket and as far as I can tell they only come in the kits which are $300.

None of the stores around me have the tees, and the employees aren't willing to look through their check valves without a part number. Lazy mother fers. I will see if I can look through napas brake boosters Monday morning before I order through Amazon.

Going to fab the dipstick out of scrap. Buy vacuum hose across the street. Heroin, meth, and car parts all in one place! I am going to use epoxy and 1/8in vacuum line to make a plug for the intake silencer. Technically I don't need the Tee, unless I want 4wd. lol

Aliens.

 

so Those parts weren't included?
