Looks good!
Bet that 2nd gen v8 4runner was badass! I follow that guy on instagram

 

Anymore pics of the Black 1st gen 4runner front bumper? Looks to be built from a TG winch plate.

 

He was having some technical difficulties out on the dunes, nothing major, but he couldn't rail on it as much as he wanted to because the ECU would send the truck into limp mode if he pushed it past 3500 rps. But yes, Nick's 4Runner is a bad ass machine. I've been around to see it grow up from a stock 2nd gen, which i'm grateful for!

Hey Chris, Bryan's bumper is a custom built unit. but I believe it uses the trail-gear winch plate.

 

wow... this thing is still alive?

 

time to trash it and get into an 80 series.

 

for real, i'm seriously considering ditching my pickup for an 80 that i'd eventually chop the top off

 

Already got approval from the bosslady. As soon as the runner is drivable, I'll be selling the protoghey and getting an fzj. I miss driving from a more elevated position.

 

Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? lol

Nope. I love having a removable top that has never come off. haha

​​​​​​​You could, but the pick up you have is iconic. they're getting pretty hard to find.

Would be nice! All the Yotatech OGs have fallen off the face of the map.

 

We're still here. pretty sure life has taken its time bending us all over barrels. But I think it's almost time we get the band back together. The runner should be up and running in a few weeks time.

 

I agree, we need to plan a trip to grab some beer and pizza.... something along those lines. Even a quick camping trip would be ideal to get everyone together again.

 

Nice easy peligreen trail run?

 

maybe a snow run?

sadly my pickup hasn't touched dirt in a year been so busy with life

 

no snow

 

Went to the snow a little while back for some sledding action and it wasn't too bad We could even do a BBQ out at Prairie City. Get everyone together again.

 

that sounds like a grand idea!

i still wanna do peligreen tho.

 

My tops never been off either lol. L

most have went to Instagram lol

 

Gave the 4Runner some love today. The 3vz intake elbow is now a discontinued part and is no longer available through second hand auto part stores and it's $100+ at Toyota. With that being said, I improvised.

The one that was on the truck tore at one of the ribs which was causing unfiltered/unmetered air.

I had some spare material lying around and this is what I came up with with some silicone couplers and aluminum tubing.

What's everyone think?

 

+10hp easy

hah looks clean

 

Hey could be with it being sealed off properly.

intake arm looks great. Im glad you painted it and didn't leave it shiny silver

 

If it was, i'd sell them. LOL

Work still needs to be done to it for the crankcase recycle. It's currently attached to an open element for now since i didn't have any wire for the welder. I thought about leaving it silver, but i had time and spray paint lying around. Thought about getting it anodized/powdered.
