Northern Virginia Roll Call

They are occasionally for sale on the marketplace if you don't mind waiting a bit and checking in.
What's the advantages of them anyway?

 

They are a dry re-useable air filter so you dont apply oil that can attract other grime. That way your filter can stay clean without buying other products and keep your mpg consistent for cheaper. I still have a paper filter in mine, so I need to just keep an eye out or look to get one after my current project is complete.

Im really thinking with another taco guy in springfield that we can have some Toyota takeovers at @Lots2Learn58 rents pad now for some serious mod days.

Coot

 

Im down.

 

Where do you live, like general area or street?

 

Of course! You know my dad loves nothing more than a bunch of trucks outside his house and parts everywhere!!
But seriously, I'm gonna need help with this bumper install here soon and snorkel when it comes!

 

@TacoCat has that dry filter.

Ive already noticed an increase in mpg since cleaning my filter

 

I live next to Lee High School on Franconia by the mall. I cant do any work in my complex. FML

 

I figured that, you know it would really get his rocks off if we found a cruiser to join in. I feel like we should get some sort of crown royal banner and fly it like a flag at your rents pad. It just makes sense. Whenever that bumper comes, you know man we will be there installing it and giving your dad shit at the same time.

Its all good man, I roll to lots2learn's pad a lot because of this.

Coot

 

I just sent I'm link o a 84 diesel hilux that's in good shape. I'm gonna convince him to buy it and he can join us for mod days

 

Dude that would be sick man. We can start harassing him about getting armor and all that! Talk about a great way to start the year if it happens.

I have the afe stage 2 CAI. AFE makes a drop in that fits in the OEM airbox, I think that is what they are talking about. I used to have one of the AFE dry drop ins. Cant remember how much I paid but I think it was about 50 bucks. Maybe it was autoanything where I bought it from? Sounds familiar but waaay too long ago.

 

Ah yea I think that is it. Why did you swap out to a CAI? Have you seen any gains since going with that set up?

Coot

 

Didnt notice any gains. Main reason was i didnt like the stock filter box. The tube isnt smooth and it looked horrible. Plus if you have the cai, spark plug changes, at least on the passenger side, are a breeze. Now that i am forced induction the cai might actually serve a purpose other than looks and noise

 

I assume you dont still have your drop in anymore right?

Coot

 

Nah sorry sold it long ago

 

Huge thanks to @IPNPULZ for the oil and filter. I def need to pay it forward.
I was able to get a little maintainence done today. Oil changed, new oil filter, new air filter and new cabin filter right at 69995 miles.

 

I'm glad it found a good home......

 

Do any of y'all close to me in Springfield have a 2-3" Lift i can take a look at? Trying to figure out what I want. Thanks.
