SQRLPWR Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Concerned about airbox flex causing fatigue on the snorkel, I took a slice out of the pipe Used the rubber out of a flexible joint to re-join the 2 parts back together Then I took an old power cord and stripped the outer to make an edging for the fender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Command Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Well.....finally got my new tires on! After being screwed around by Crappy Tire in the end Kal Tire took care of me and I have to admit I was very impressed with them. The guy I went to is part of an offroad club and takes his truck on trails so he understands the "offroad mentality" hahaha which Crappy Tire lacks. Anywho below are before and after pics with additional pics and a bit of a write up in my build thread :) Before: After: Yes......thats snow in those pics.....bugger off haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lete guess... Crappy Tire wouldn't put them on your truck because that is not the size listed on the door or in their computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right, only they made me wait 3hrs before they told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 never again will someone at canadian tire touch one of my vehicles. i had them mount tires on my M3, the rims in the rear were wider than the front. the retard managed to put the wide rims up front, with the narrower tires. on top of that, the tires had Left outside, right outside plus the arrow that points the direction and still messed it up. i had to go in there and litterally draw what i wanted them to do hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 It's like your some kind of Psychic! Exactly right, only they made me wait 3hrs before they told me. That's why I take them a set of rims to mount the tires on and leave it at that. I have never had a problem that way :P ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sunday afternoon and last night I worked on: 1) Cleaned all window and external mirror surfaces with a single-edged razor blade. There was lots of welding slag, grinding slag, and paint overspray from over the years! Now I need a new blade as well! There is a lot of glass on a Sub! 2) Tightened loose transmission/transfer case mount (crossmember) bolts. Yikes! They were a bit loose. This was the first time I checked them after installing new rubber mounts. I'll have to check them again until they no longer loosen! 3) Put Blue Lock-Tite on two fender bolts (bottom of A Pillars) that continually loosen. The M.U.D. Run and Lookoff Rally creates lots of vibrations! 4) Started wiring the Driving Lights that I installed before the Lookoff Rally, in 2013! Put them on last minute just for show! They were sitting on the shelf for years. Not finished wiring yet though. And if I find the rest of the mounts I have a set of fog lights as well. Yeah, they aren't LED, but better on the truck than on the shelf, and cost nothing! 5) Started re-installing the front fender flares, after changing the fenders earlier in the summer. 6) Prepping her for a second coat of paint. The first one didn't quite cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Installed my aux backup lights. I need to get a relay and switch so I can get them wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My04T4R Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 The dealership is just finishing now, image post Amsoil fluids for motor and diffs/ t case, Inepected steering linkages, bearings etc Brake service with new fluid too! My brake pedal feels strong again :) New driveshaft bolts Tire rotate, balance and alignment. New coolant. New power steering fluid. Investigated my exhaust manifold problems, looks like it will cost close to 2 :( Need an undercoating done... Bill? Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Anyone know where I can buy and get welded on a new exhaust tip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Most shops can do the welding, check with Double Z and see what Brad or Bill can do for you. They should be able to get it done without problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 bring your exhaust tip and I'll weld it for you for free. my welder is at Pat's house in dartmouth. can't you buy aftermarkert headers for your V8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 ^^ that's what I would get. It not much more $$ for a freer flowing header than factory manifolds it seems (at least that is the case for my 4.0L i6...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 There is no aftermarket option as there is zero room under the hood, one guy with one 4runner between here and the states managed to fit a discontinued tundra shorty header with some modifications to the dipstick and steering shaft. Unfortunately its an inherent design flaw in their welding process and every 4.7 v8 toyota owner will experience severe ticking. Maybe the new oem part has been revised who knows... Rob S was lucky enough to get both of his replaced under warranty... Jealous.... But yeah new manifolds, studs, nuts, gaskets and new heatshields.. She'll be purring nicely once again. My truck seems very very much more powerful and snappy with the throttle since my maintenance... Dont know what they did maybe pulled the efi fuse for a reset.

Try to get your hands on the TRD manifolds they were making, at least it would increase your power a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
