Yep, no emissions in Maryland for classic vehicles. I've heard the Turbo thrush before and it sounds similar to your's, just a little louder.

Nice rig...

man that actually sounds pretty good ive been debating if I want to run a header and a new exhaust and possibly do the k&N to stock carb set up. now I feel a little better about the exhaust end of it! and where I live cops don't hammer to hard so I thought about running straight pipes and a header but I kinda want it quiet in the cab lol

I have a headman header and a 2 1/2 inch exhaust with a muffler and when the widows are down its somewhat loud but with the windows up its quiet, and it doesn't sound like a Honda or some other rice runner

Alright so I have gone with a new center console for the truck. My friend has one in his rabbit and it got me thinking. So I ended up finding one out of a 84' rabbit for $10 at pick n pull. And after some trimming, paint, and a bandana for $1 it came out real well. It fits pretty dang perfect. Anyway here goes with the pics.

I didn't get any pics after I first got it, but here it is after some trimming

I was going to try and built a console, but that looks pretty good, I might just do this instead.

Ya i'm really happy with how it came out, i'll try and get some better pics up soon. I used the brackets that hold the factory gauge set that i'm missing, but I like this better. A few bucks and a afternoon and you have a nice console.

Sweet, I'm going to poke around the junkyard on Thursday, maybe I will get lucky and find one.

Really nice and great pictures...it's good for reference for all of us too. looks like your jumping in head first...on your truck. update us when you can

I'll try to do an update tomorrow some good stuff and also some bad stuff to tell on the truck but crap happens...

any updates on the truck? picking up a all original 81 tonight for 1300

Dood. I gotta see that.

Alright sorry it took a couple days started a new job and have been busy with that as far as the truck goes I got a visor from wid another member on here he meet me half way witch was awesome of him. If your reading this thanks again man! Got some bolts with rubber washers to keep water from getting in there. Not going to lie it was pretty stressful making sure I had it perfect before I drilled... but in the end I think it came out as good as it could have, and I think the truck looks a million times better with it. And gives it a bit of attitude. Anyways here's some pics.

Sitting at America's tire waiting for some new rubber!

Got the new tires on 33 12.5 bfg at ko I love the new look!

What gear ratio do you have? I found a nice set of 33s for sale but I'm not sure if I want to slap them on before regearing.

They're 4.38 and not really that much worse than the 31s I had I will regear eventually but I can live with the way they are now.

Well not much has been done to the truck but I did get my high steer today! So ready to put it in just need to get some other stuff and I'll be putting it in! Sorry bout the crappy pic.

Well the high steer is all done toyota cut truss and marlin full face armor is on using a 2nd gen 4runner steering box gotta say its the best thing ive done yet very well worth it ordered everything from low range would definitely recommend going through them for anything you order also have the best prices on their stuff.
