Yep, can't wait to see how it does this year! They've done a lot of pre-running and some pretty serious upgrades (brand new RCLT HD and Portals, but others too).
Unfortunately we couldn't make KOH again this year for a variety of reasons. So, we are gauging interest in the 4Runner. If someone wants to use it for what it was intended for, this is your shot.
FS Birmingham, AL: SteelCityRacing 06 Limited v8 4602 4Runner
We’re driving back as we speak but I wanted to send out a quick note. We didn’t finish but would have if we had more time. We worked hard and relentlessly the past month and did end up putting over 125 miles of hard prerunning on the car. We broke a ton of stuff after each prerunning seasion...

A few questions for the forum:

2) Can anyone find any steel 90 Deg fittings that will fit our...
Update:
Steel City Racing will be teaming up with Justin Reece rustynailsjustin and the combined 4619/4602 crew again for KOH 2020. We're doing final prep and upgrades to the 4th Gen v8 4runner as we speak and all the Improvements listed above in the 2019 race recap will be completed prior to...
It got "complicated", so we put in an aftermarket fuel gauge in the area bottom right of the radio. Maybe one day we'll figure out how to tie it in, but was lowered on the list of priorities :).
Anyone have the part number on this AC line?
Our Warn chewed through ours. I was going to eliminate AC completely, but it’s just too hot down here. I can vacuum and recharge myself, but have to replace the section of line that rubbed on the winch first.
Thanks.
NOT SURE WHY PICS AREN'T SHOWING UP...
