Very nice... I think I liked the hood scoop a little better on the old body, but the new one isn't bad either.

cr500rider-
I cut a much larger hole; I'm guessing you have a 1" body lift? I'm running a 1/2" body lift and I cut a about a 12" across backwards 'D' to clear my stuff.. I miss the cool looking hood scoop. That was trashed in the roll and I can't find another like it.

runner4thebeast-
I have quite an assortment of parts; no bumpers, mostly interior and a few other things. Here's a partial list:
4cyl center console gray
4cyl 5spd shift bezel and boot gray (great condition)
4runner clock
grill (non SR5) great shape
L & R front marker lamps
Alpine CD H.U. detachable face
Radio brackets 84-89 4Runner
late (87-89) Sr5 4Runner rear panels gray with pocket cups
late (87-89) SR5 4Runner manual door panels gray /w/vent
Early(84-86) Sr5 door panels gray pickup manual w/vent
89 4cyl ECU
86 turbo steering wheel (leather)
many switches- just ask
86 turbo SR5 dash
86 Turbo ECU
84-89 washer bottle
84-89 combo switch (intermittent wipers)
84-89 rear wheel arch molding both sides 4Runner (chrome)
interior gray 'L' trim both sides I think

Brian-
I would love to hit the SE4RJ in June but I don't see myself making it this year. There's always next year though!

Overrdrive-
I miss the scoop. I bought it in 03' from a place called IDMspeed.com. They no longer exist. The white piece of junk you see was $50 on ebay. I slapped it on to keep the snow and rain out while parking outside in inclement weather..

Good work, looks great! Now no more drifting, just let them eat your dust.

no, i have no body lift. but i did have custom motor mounts made since it was a 4cylinder truck, so im thinking they were made incorrectly which is good for me obviously lol. How did you go about putting the scoop on your hood?

Want to buy one of your parts.

Hey Willcipher,

I PMed you about the shifter boot. Let me know how much you want for it. If it's reasonable, I'll take it off your hands.

Thanks, Craig

Drifting in a truck is just plain dumb - I hope you learned not to do it anymore.

as the infamous Gangus would say - "Let physics do the rest"
Thats why my friends lightning can do a better power slide then my lowered rx7?

I believe he meant a truck being used as a truck, not a truck version of a sports car.

And maybe you suck at drifting lol. jk

cheers

dude, drifting in yotas works just fine. lol. just takes skill in the drivers seat. on a different subject, whats the sickest spin on record with anyone? iv pulled out a 720. lol. it was insane. wet roads, comin off the interstate, goin through that "orange" light, gunnin it in 2nd at 40 mph. note to others, bad idea. lol. it was all good till i stalled it out. somehow i nailed it a little too tough on the restart and ended up facing traffic again. oh the joys. lol

....yeaaaaa. Nice and safe there.

Drifting is fun and just fine....ON THE TRACK. Not anywhere where you will endanger the lives of others, or others personal property.

cr500rider-
That's cool how you have set your motor lower into the framerails.. You get a lower COG and you can get away with a small scoop and no body lift. I hope you have adequate clearance from your oil pan to diff though

I attached my original scoop with rivets. Then I had a body shop glass/bondo it and paint it. 1 year later, rust was bubbling up around some of the seams. I was contemplating how to fix it when I rolled it several times and no longer needed to

Originally, I didn't want any body lift but the S/C bypass actuator body was hitting the hood right next to the drivers side windshield squirter. I opted for a 1/2" body lift and that solved the problem. The pic below is my new hood- I cut the hole quickly (get er' done mode) and slapped a cheap scoop on to keep out the elements. Someday I'll come across a scoop to my liking

Fellas, I'm assuming my price was too high on the shifter boot and bezel judging by the lack of enthusiasm (or response) to the pics I PM'd

Let's try this, name your price (PM me) and we'll work something out. FYI, I'll be starting a 'For Sale' thread once I get pics of all my spare stuff..

Have you ever checked your coolant temp with a OBDII scanner?

No sir, I have not. I would be curious to know- does anyone know off hand if this is easy to find in the Auterra Dyno Scan software? That's what I use and I've never used it for anything but diagnosing codes.

I'm running the 3.0 radiator with a Volvo 760 (I think) 2 speed cooling fan.. I booty-fabbed the Volvo fan and shroud to fit my radiator and added a piece of sheetmetal to fill a gap. I'm using the Volvo relay to trigger it (high setting only) with a switch in my dash for the time being; still on the fence about which fan controller I want to use. FWIW, I live in St Louis where we routinely see temps over 100 degrees and idle through traffic with A/C and I've never seen my stock gauge go over half way. I'm running the TRD (cooler) thermostat and I have no grill blockage. I also run a pseudo-Satoshi style grill

I don't know about that software, but with the obddiagnostics software it's very easy.

mt-goat-

You've got me curious now because I doubt the stock gauge is very accurate; I'll check out my software and see what my temps are.. I'll post the OBDII observed temp after a good flogging on the highway
Another thing, I ran the 3.0 fan and shroud until about a year ago and had no troubles whatsoever except the parasitic load the mechanical fan puts on the engine. I switched to electric strictly for performance gains
