    Awesome! That's what I needed to hear. As long as I can make the slim pods work in the mount.

    Am I missing something? Why is the AEM Classic AFR $223 and the slim X $196?

    No. It's my own sophisticated fabrication.
    I used aluminum flat bar, a hacksaw, and c-clamps to bend it on my apartment railing.:devil:

    Less material maybe? I've had mine about a year and I'm happy with them. Just fit the gauges in the pods prior to install. You'll need a little hardware creativity. Remember to leave a loop of wire slack under the dash so you can remove them. If you dont things get more frustrating. Be gentle with the screws that go in the colum. They only hold by plastic on the colum. Strip those and....
    Ask me how I know.

    So I've been without my s/c coolant temp sensor a while. Loose wire. Now its hooked up. I could be wrong but I think I'm running cooler than before. Currently, stoplight romping and cruising is keeping me about 3-5 degrees above outside temps when in the low 60's. Happy to see I didnt gain in temps.:bananadance:

    Got my NGK Ruthenium plugs from rockauto. Might put those on tonight. My PLX wideband also shipped today. Also had to switch from my AEM FIC 8 to a Apexi AFC Neo. Hoping the stock ecu can do what it needs to do with the timing. If not I’m fucked.

    It's been a very long weekend and clearly I have a lot of catching up to do on herhere. Was even tagged but never saw notifications, wild. Lol.

    I do have a NST pulley. It really made a trivial improvement over stock but I am much happier with it over the stock unit.

    Took a road trip to Southern California this weekend and achieved a confirmed 17.4 MPG with my truck. 305 miles to the tank (if not more) before it is bone dry. A new high! :thumbsup:

    Apparently I am more leadfooted than I initially thought I was.

    Does the lead foot comment come from speeding ticket cred?

    Holy Sh!t. Good job man. I am super lucky to get 200 miles to a tank! LOL

    On a side note, the last of the parts for the 5th gen 4Runner budget Big Brake Kit have arrived!

    Well, your boss gears are not highway gold but low speeds must be awesome! What's your money total on this upgraded brake system?

    I know. I have respect for exhaust chops. I'm just jealous. I've got years of payment before I dice mine up.
