Throaty.

I was surprised how much headers changed the sound on dads too. Yours changed a lot! Big of an improvement in the butt dyno as you'd hoped?

 

Yea changed a lot for sure, love it!

Butt dyno is telling me there's definitely more there, about what I expected (I mean its not like I strapped a blower on ha). Biggest thing i'm noticing is how much easier it just gets up to speed in normal driving style (not foot on the floor haha). Full throttle past 3k is good too, but my section of pipe from the muffler back over the axle needs changing... its kink bent and has lots of bends in it. AKA garbage flow, gotta figure something out to really get the benefit in high rpm I think.

Edit: yea here's a pic of what my rear section of pipe looks like... it's small diameter and lots of turns!

 

Days worth...

 

Had a blast today! Great to meet new people and tacoma fans. Ran a route I've wanted to run since this spring, well most of the route... Was about 90 miles of dirt and 200 miles total. Saw lots of desert and cool terrain, included were some sand dunes.

I've got about 400 miles on the headers now and it seems like the ecu has adjusted finally. I pulled up some hills in 5th gear today on the highway like i've never done before. The sound, the power, and the smell of one set of cats gone is totally worth it! See video below

SO JELLY!

Man i wanted to do this..

 

Dude, you guys need to come down for this. In pic 1-8, that long straight was nothing but LT glory terrain at about 60. So freaking fuN! I would run this route again in a heartbeat

 

Good...cause...im coming down and we are doing it...haha

 

Sounds good. This next time we are going to run it from Jeffrey city west instead of oregon buttes and west. Let me know if you want gps tracks from where we went today.

The tri-territory plaque we saw today was the point wich all these territories met back in the early-late 1800's. Pretty cool

 

That is cool.

No i don't need GPS. I still need a GPS system i like first.

 

The backcountry navigator has been all i could have ever wanted imo. I have it on my phone too now, and it works just like the tablet but smaller screen and better gps accuracy. 10 foot (phone) instead of 33 foot(tablet).

I bet your phone can do it, just have to make sure you've got the memory for downloads of areas you are going to.

 

Yea i used my phone with APRS on the big trip. Which was nice. I just want something that has APRS and a better map.

 

Beautiful country out there. I bet that landscape hasn't changed in a few hundred years. Your pictures feel like I am looking into the past.

Did you get to check out that cabin up close?

 

I think I was up in your neck of the woods this past weekend. We went to visit family in Laramie. We met up at Ames Monument, hiked Medicine Bow, hit the hot springs in Saratoga and went rock climbing at Happy Jack.

 

Cool, @BabyTaco lives in Laramie. Been nice weather lately!

Yea stuff sticks around for a looong time! I didn't but @BossFoss did. I ended up looking at the map after grabbing that pic. I assumed it looked like every other abandon cabin I've found

 

You mean I could have met someone else who has the Ironman lift? Dang it! Oh well, I'm sure we'll be visiting again.

 

Doesn't really have it anymore..least not the front lift. running ORI's up front now.

 

Yep, working on upgrading the rear pretty soon too. I was going to wait till tax season but with the GB going on I might do it sooner than later.

 

Oh well.

Would have been cool to meet some fellow TW members. We'll be back though. Just not sure when.

 

Shoot me a PM if you do. I am almost always here in laramie...or at least nearby .
