    RCLT on Portals - Toyota Walnut Creek Racing at King of the Hammers

    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...

    Steel City Racing: King of the Hammers 2019 Toyota 4Runner IFS 4600 Build Thread

    Thanks, but I don't think the top end of that fitting will work. Right now our plan is to simply get new lines made with a 90deg on the caliper end as I cannot find anything that will work otherwise. It only impacts at full droop, so we can do some lite testing while the new lines are being...

    Hey, a couple questions for you all. While fine in normal conditions, our brake lines that come straight out of the calipers may hit our lower A-arms at full droop. A few questions for the forum: 1) Are our brake line ends M10-1? 2) Can anyone find any steel 90 Deg fittings that will fit our...

    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 :).

    Expensive lesson learned: A/C line rubbing against winch

    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.
