Hahahaha you not lying bro. It's basically a life experiment in what the fuck can go wrong now

I'll pass on the cherry bomb. She's a 4 cylinder. Never gonna be fast or a tow rig. Just want a decent sounding exhaust. It's a parking lot princess. I literally drive 6 miles a day at best now with the new job. If it were not for the hills i would walk to work.

 

Exhaust came in last night. For the price you can't beat it. Great packaging, components look to be of pretty good quality. Included gaskets hardware damn near everything. LCE is dope. Hope to have it installed by the end of the week.

 

Got my new headlights installed. I'll get pics of exhaust next oil change. Other than the rear hanger being 3 inches too short to actually hang on the mounting point (got some ghetto rigged jank shit atm) its a solid setup well worth the price. My exhaust leaks now are limited to the even more apparent manifold cracks. Been reading some horror stories on the LCE header cracking at the 4 way collector so I may not go that route.

The headlights and harness I bought from Amazon. Superb light output compared to shitty sealed beam.

The headlights come with a little harness. Chuck that fucker into the woodline. Slap the new lights into the stock light brackets. Use the secondary harness. I made a grounding point for the 2 relays with a section cut off from a metal hose clamp.
Plugged the driver side headlight plug into the passthrough portion and added power/ negative to the color coded doohickey.

 

Those headlights are frightening. You use those on the highway?

 

4 banger can throw some decent fireballs on deceleration in gear.

 

how do i get my truck to spit flames hahah
I'd kill for that to happen!

 

Cut your pipe a bit short , have a reasonably free flowing muffler it no muffler and cruise in gear without your foot on the pedal or just barely on it. Or go full ricer and use a standalone computer to over fuel so you can blow flames on purpose

 

Where'd you get that toyota lettering for your grille? looks fucking clean.

 

You have any idea where he got that toyota lettering for his front grille? shit looks mean.

 

Looks like a 1980s Land cruiser front emblem to me

 

Found his build post. Its a land cruiser badge with mesh grille, im wondering how he made it fit and stay thou, thats my question.

 

Lots of ways, when I did it to my last taco I used Auto Goop

 

Alright sounds good ill make sure to make a forum post on it when i finally get around to doing it

 

Sweet, the satoshi look on the 1st gens definitely adds a lot. I found that the 1990 4runner emblem fit the grill a bit better, it uses 3 fasteners to attach to the grill. I just did mine recently on the 95.5

 

i think ill probably start with a new grille, heres what i have right now.

dont even ask about the bedliner hood lol. A new hood is next on the list as well.

 

how much was your overall cost?
for the satoshi

also you got a link to the 4runner emblem you used?

 

Got my lettering from http://cruiserparts.net/

It’s stuck on there with 3M double sided tape. It’s held on for the last 15k Miles, so I’m hopeful.

A few of us from the St. Louis area are going to the Appalachian Toyota Round Up at Windrock just west of Knoxville, Tennessee for Labor Day weekend and if you’re schedule and budget allow it we’d love to see you there.

On the entry where it asks for club just put TacomaWorld. We set up the off-road camper and our group uses it as a sort of base camp.

 

I found the 4runner emblem on ebay, they are around from time to time. Emblem was about $35, mesh was $75 from @HomerTaco, and $5 in spray paint. Definitely time consuming though, probably took me about 3 hours.

 

Yeah, i found one on ebay for the emblem.

I'm probably gonna get the perforated steel from a local shop or something or online, not sure yet
