TEC Minden Newbie Run || August 21, 2021

Is the air pump difficult to bypass on your Tundra? Surprised to see LT headers (and all the associated trickery for running catless) but the air pump still operational.

 

the headers came with the ports and little tubes for the air injection, I went over deep crossing in Winter and I actually had one pump got clogged, thankfully warranty covers it, but it's almost a $2500 part so I bit the bullet and get the relocation kit from SDHQ.

I'm running full OEM cats on the long tubes, not a fan of ruining the environment.

 

Cool. On the 2nd gen Tacoma, LT headers delete the front cats and require a O2 simulator dongle to avoid setting codes.

 

I had mid section fabbed by gtcustom in oshawa, I'm sure Mike can fab something up for the 4.0, with my headers it originally had aftermarket cats which was just awful in smell that and driving a truck that sounds like a nascar gets old quick, I also couldn't get rid of the cel with all sorts of foulers, he fab the cats to be 3" in and out.

Ran this trail during the Yota Crawl weekend and it's awesome. As hard or as easy as you really want it to be.

Very interested to see a full size Tundra on the trail

 

I did do more look up, is the trail bit like swift rapids? Beside couple part where you must climb the rocks.

 

Never done swift rapids so can’t say for sure.

One week away everyone! Just a reminder to read the first page about skids and what not. Everyone’s an adult and can do what ever they want. But, as always we (TEC) is not responsible for you breaking your truck obviously.

 

Just to confirm, it's this Saturday right, cause on first post you mentioned 2022

 

Yes. Typo! Fixed!

 

Well if I don't have my truck running by then, you'll be seeing me in a quattro mode

throw out bearing exploded, so things got worse until it gets better with the new clutch end of the week

 

Man found a trail so hard core, blew up the truck and doesnt tell us where its at?

 

401 is pretty rough these days

I’m out, truck needs some work before going back on the trails. Didn’t help getting home Sunday night from the last trip to a busted washing machine, FML.

 

That blows but hopefully you get it all sorted!

 

someone rally should get their own channel testing trucks, problem is no truck will ever pass..

Added up Mario who is picking up skids for this

 

Alright boys.... Hoffinator down... tore the engine mounts out of the Runner and messed up the mounting plate so saturday I'm welding on a new plate.

What they should look like. (Passenger side)

What the driver's side looks like. tore off the corner eyelits to bolt the new mounts to.

@Tech HoFFinaTor that blows. Hopefully it’s straight forward fix. Believe the motor mounts on the tacos are prone to busting as well.
