Formal Intro.

Here are some poser shots of my 98', 5-speed, elocked runner.






Future Plans: (Probably in this order)
*Running boards coming off; already got the factory spash guards from Evan at Nothridge Toyota for 1/2 of what my local dealer wanted - Thanks
*Deckplate & ISR
*SS #7 or Toytec 3" (depending on $) and some 285's.
*Bumpers & Sliders

I also really need a roof rack.

I'll try to make my next photos be real wheeling or before & after mod pics.

Enjoy,
-Luke-

If you haven't purchased a deck plate yet, you can get one for pretty cheap. about 6-7 dollars shipped. Check this thread.

We need a mod that turns running boards into something useful.

Deck Plate



Sounds good when I get on the skinny pedal. Got the deck plate at the local boat store. Took all of an hour to do this from removal to reinstalation.

Yeah, I live off Birdneck. Good to see some Hampton Roads 4-runner people. We should get together for some wheeling.

Well for the past few months I've had sort of a flat spot during acceleration. It didn't really stumble during acceleration but just wasn't up to par. Hard to explain. So I did some reading and figured some new plugs would do the trick. On the old ones, the electrodes were oval shaped from wear. They definately needed to be replaced.

Got these in with out any issues except the damn 5/8ths socket kept coming off the extension.. pain in the ass when that happens. Much better and much smoother acceleration. Problem solved.

I'm gonna order up a trueflow from Evan next week to optimize the deckplate I did last weekend.
