    Fluxcore is just messier in general, but penetrates better.

    Those LCA's are what, 1/8" thick?

    A cheap solid core capable welder can knock that out.

    Old post from my 4Runner but with some useful info.

    I think the hard brake line attached to the frame may differ from yours, but everything else is identical.

    The LCA Gussets were 1/4" I believe, probably would have been okay. I was planning on doing it and then my brother convinced me not to (who knows why I still listen to his advice haha)

    I forgot to update that. I moved to Sac in November. I'll probably be here another year, at least.

    More details about the filet mignon please. I cook in cast iron all the time and I love my own ribeye with mushroom dinners. Never made a filet mignon.

    I've been meaning to measure between the snorkel and stock airbox to see if Silicone Intake solutions would have a better way to connect the snorkel to the stock airbox. something airtight and possibly less restrictive

    I thought of this too when installing. That little POS foam tape where the airbox plugs into that elbow does nothing.
    Maybe just replace the stock air tube/duct with something along the lines of this -

    or just use fusion tape :eek:

    Two 90° elbows and a couple feet of tubing should do it
