Nice build thread! Makes me want to get out an explore in the 4runner. Have only done parts of Ocotillo Wells so far. Have ridden Rodriguez on the dual sport, but don't remember the boulders; must have done the easy routes.

Downpipe and tail pipe added to the semi finish the Downey Header install
Open Header!
Open cat?
All the work was done by Joe Torcaso at Precision Muffler
Good guy, used to do all the exausts for Pro Trux
(760) 471-7748
$90 for a down pipe, flange and tail pipe
Suggested 2.25" all the way to the tail pipe at 2"
New down pipe, welded to header and flange added to join with the cat
Weld job
2in Tail pipe tucked in nicely
Hardly tell its there
Runs great, louder then I would like it to be, its got a magnaflow muffler, seems like all the noise is coming from the engine bay.
Doesn't sound like there are any leaks, I am hoping that when I replace the air-induction parts, maybe some header wrap, it will quiet down. If not I will add some kind of under coating to the hood. I want this thing to be quiet, if I am going to daily drive it.

Okay so there were a couple o large leaks... my alum block off plate did not work..
So this is what it sounded like, video inspiration from Chef

so I made a steal one from a cookie can

Drive to work was much quieter, comes off the line easier, no stumble of power and now its much more pleasant to drive... I'm happier
LC engineering Air induction tube adapters are on order so I can run the Air Induction system.
Looking forward to gears and locker.... sliders, bumpers.. then it will feel like capable rig I will be less worried to take on the trails..

crappy crap crap....
U-joints bad.. surprisingly I didn't see many posts on here on how to replace them or which ones to get other other then OEM...
dealer is closed on sundays, I'll see what I can get from Napa and maybe order a OEM one from Trail Gear for a spare to keep in the rig.

I have had no issues with the temp switch... well this one..
just find the standard brand short one..
I think the first one I had was longer and may have broke while installing.
wheeling sound good to me.. just need to get my son a little older to come with!

Still going through your thread. Since your roll over til now it is looking great. Looks like you done a great job getting it back straight.
I have found that using an original Toyata Exhaust gasket works best for me. Even when putting on headers. I cant get a good seal using an off brand.
The helicoil. Been there and done that. Thats really the only draw back on these aluminum heads. It works out well though. Got to do it twice and never had any problems.
I was stationed in San Diego. How I miss it out there. I dont know where we went but there was some great places to go 4wheelin out there. Wasnt to far and we could see about the whole city.
Subscribed to your build. Looking forward to your progress.
