No welding skillscould make you one out of some 2x4s

 

Can stack these milk crates...should be legit...

 

Storage plus a platform.....

 

Looks like the perfect height for the annex already. Unless the bed rack is as high as the cab...
If it were mine, I'd like to keep the functionality of the bed.

 

Not sure if the link will work, but found a '97 4Runner Limited that seems to only have a bad AC compressor. 165k miles for $5k with out getting the AC fixed.

Good deal?

 

It's finally out of the garage! If you guys see me rolling, throw a Shaka! Had couple second gens playing at sandys when I drove through.


this past weekend we were busy fitting and welding a full custom stainless steel exhaust. Still got more work to do, but this was the last piece of the puzzle to get it driving. If you guys need some sick TIG welding, hit up Marc @wisDOMination !!! He has an awesome setup and some real fitting and welding skills.

Turned $1000 worth of stainless parts into an exhaust system that you can't buy.

Still need to add some more hangers and also a turboflex coupling in the Y pipe. One of the V band flanges is a little off, so there is stress on it when it clamps closed. A little bit of give will keep things from cracking.

 

I need a tissue.

 

I like it, man. Post some sound clips of the exhaust. Interested to hear it if I don't see you around town.

 

It's really nice and quiet. More engine noise than exhaust noise. I have 4 magnaflow cats, vibrant quiet resonator, and the magnaflow exhaust.

 

Nice! I'm running the URD system from the upper headers back (y and muffler). Had it on a year but I'm looking around for a different sound and feel. Kinda feel like I lost back pressure with this system somehow, feels a little laggy but I love the sound.

 

Yeah, that's why I kept the cats, and stockish diameter pipe. You usually gain top end with free flowing exhaust, but lose low end power. That's where I need it most. Unless you are boosted

 

Doesn't help I'm running 33s and on stock gear ratios either. When I move back to the mainland I'll continue modding and make it how I want. It's too damn expensive here to get the right parts.

 

Don't have to tell me! I'm probably over $5K just on shipping charges for my build

 

I gave up making mods when a complete overhaul of the entire suspension system with Kings was a ridiculous amount for shipping. I went and got Toyos quoted in a 33, I nearly shit myself.

Plus recon, safety, and the rust just makes it a harder item to get pass the boss lady.

I applaud and fan boy over you guys who can afford this lifestyle. Keep on keeping on

 

Barely afford that's why the SAS has been a year in the making

 

So a turbocharger is in the future?

 

Not for me. It makes enough power and goes fast to suit my needs.

 

Because #racetruck

 

Group buys help out quite a bit. The waiting is torture though

 

Looks awesome!!
