    I might try and get some sliders and a CB before URE.

    Looks awesome! I've been just past the gates of the park but no further. I really want to go back! How did your rig do?

    Pretty good, everything worked fine, the shifter popped out of gear a few times but no big deal. I put a butt load of pics and some vids on FB.

    Lucky! I want one so bad but it's just not in the cards now. Really nice find, and all the original stuff with it is super cool too. I like the color & graphics, too.

    I saw some of them in your build thread. Uber :jellydance:

    I am the new owner. The guy I bought it from said he posted it all over the place and no one took any interest and I called him the day it went on CL.

    I love it! I am really happy I ended up with it. I just wish I had more time to wheel.

    Thanks! When I have decided to just have the OE color repainted and I will replace the graphics with new ones to bling it up a bit.

    Spotted a leak while I was prepping the header for removal.

    I think it starts here:

    IMG_20130423_110308_061_56a4e7807c90ff90afaa9502034c30e5452bb804.jpg

    And it makes a nice little pool here:
    IMG_20130423_110321_261_4bd43aa3a58eaa82df7876667e0ff0f15f0f1add.jpg

    This is just below the EFI manifold. It does not have a smell so I am assuming it is water/condensation. Not sure what I should do with it.

    I ended up taking the 4Runner to a local shop to have them finish up the exhaust. They did great work and I got it back in the same day.

    Started with this:
    IMG_20130430_114509_395_30c551fa92cbbe9f500d15e1e08cfb861328fa14.jpg

    And ended with this:
    IMG_20130430_165434_338_85cbe6052c3f48b05e76f2b46167a9caee945cf9.jpgIMG_20130430_165509_231_4941b0dbc2397f6f03db663830071c4a71f916e8.jpg

    LC Engineering header with Flowmaster exhaust dumped right behind the muffler. It is a tad bit ricey but IDGAF.

    Well, after making a really dumb impulse decision, I decided to get some lights on a GB that was going on this past February via a company called TrekLights. Long story short, they fucking blow. 2 months later I finally get my lights. Go figure they were kind of beat up when they got here.

    Now I just gotta find something to mount them on :spy: but it isn't here yet :pout:

    Mine will show up in about 4 weeks :cool:

    P.S. check out Blitzpro for some good lighting for the $$$. Jandrews and I are pretty happy with ours.
