    LOL!

    I actually want to take it apart and install this expensive/over-the-top contraption that does not add more power. lol

    Plus, it will give me a chance to inspect areas I wouldn't normally see.

    Nothing was wrong with the plugs, but this change was performed as per the Toyota recommended service intervals.

    Best regards,

    More maintenance.

    I haven't coated my exhaust in over 2 years. It was time for a quick cleanup and a good enough paint job.
    IMG_20241109_114030425.jpg

    Can't believe this stuff was $16. Last can of this I had was $8.99. Where are analysts coming up with inflation rates of 18-22%.. seems like many goods and services are almost double.

    Anyway... $15 is still cheap maintenance.

    My guess is it was the shortest (ie least expensive) route that met the criteria the engineers were given. It is in the middle and higher than the rear diff (half inch higher on my 2022 OR) so that was probably seen as acceptable. Of course when going over things that doesn't keep it from getting bashed especially since itnisn't between the tires but 99.999% of tacomas probably never see such use. There is also the matter of lining the lengths of the two sides up for performance and efficiency as it does actually have an effect. I really need to upgrade my Y pipe.

    Local muffler shop re-routed that pipe for me to "flat" for $95, 1 hour (maybe 1.5 hours).

    You got a picture of yours?

    I might consider doing the y pipe if it was possible to keep the oem muffler.

    He just cut the old bent section (left the converter) and swapped in a new section.

    I helped @daveeasa get all of my additional features functional on my Super Pacific X1 yesterday. He made a harness to connect my Wolfbox rear camera, ASG Off-road brake/chase light with chase connected to the parking brake signal (https://asgoffroad.com/products/upg...tegrated-chase-light-1?variant=45356611436793), and GateKeeper power locks (https://mountainyotas.com/shop/tacoma/canopy-camper-keyless-entry/) and ran it through a 12-pin Deutsch flange connector(https://www.ebay.com/itm/3551288002...ar=624374414687&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) into the bed and got it all connected to the wires I had pulled. The picture is very clear on the Wolfbox screen. I didn’t realize that I had it in a mirrored image mode until I pulled up to an intersection that was three lanes and all of the cars coming up on my “left” never passed me on the left.

    I did the wire loom on the harness going into the Super Pacific fuselage, everything Dave touched is way more professional.

    Getting the transponder out was tedious and nerve racking. Got it all together, just need to get the key cut now.
