Sweet man, congrats! Its a great tire =-)

How heavy is your travel trailer? I have been extremely happy with the load E sidewall's ride. You may want to go with the load Es to cut down on squirm when towing. The E rating is not a noticeable difference in ride compared to the C rated DTs (for what its worth).

Yeah that could be possible. The main thing is there would likely be a longer wait time (ie made to order). The other option would be to have a local welder tig the flange on the collector for you. Kind of depends on how fast you need the headers.

I should be getting a set of headers here shortly and get it all mocked up. Realistically, I should have something together in a month's time frame if all goes well. Things have been pretty busy for me lately. Yeah this should help the DIY folks quiet a bit. Hopefully, the install should be...

Oh dont get me wrong the Duratracs did well, just for what I do, the K02s do much better. On the noise front, they got super loud for my taste once they started wearing to about half. You could always sell them at 50% if they get to noisy (that is what I did).

I actually picked up about 1 mpg on average with the K02s over the Duratracs. Two things come to mind as to how this happened. First, the K02 profile is more narrow than the Duratrac. Second, I think there is less rolling resistance with the K02. The 10 ply are pretty heavy. If I remember...

**A little review on the Duratrac vs K02** I had the Duratracs (C-rated) in a 285/70/17, put 50K miles on them or so. They were extremely loud as they got older and rode decently, nothing spectacular. I have since gone to the K02 (E-rated) in a 285/70/17 and have put about 15K on these. I can...

Yeah I was pretty freaked out as well especially how close it was to the evap for the gas tank. I would tear it out and give it a good pipe wrap so you dont have some charred tinder hanging around. I would imagine pulling the camper got it nice and warm.. The boss lady and I are looking at a...

I have noticed from time to time (over a 2 year period) a burning smell from the rear of my 4runner. It usually occurred when on long trips or if it was driven harder than normal. I had originally thought it was a seized caliper (smelled something like hot brakes/burning diff fluid). Well, it...

What catalyst temps are you all seeing on the V8 4runner with normal driving? Thanks!

I put out a request on the WTB forum for a set of factory manifolds. If anyone has a set PM me I would like to take them off of your hands.

I am looking for a set of factory 05-09 V8 manifolds. Does not matter if they are cracked. PM me if you have a set for sale or have a cracked/non-cracked pair laying around that you would like to get rid of. Thanks!

Yeah the installation should be easier considering you wont have the bottom section/cat in the way when you are attaching the DT header to the head.

Yep that will work fine. What I am working on is the section that is between the header collector and y-pipe flange. I will supply a flange for you to have welded to your DT header. Once that is in place its bolt in ready. This will give the DIY folks a 1K install savings =-) There will be...

Yep we were chatting around Christmas about it. Depending on overall cost, I would really like to do these out of stainless and tig them up. It should be pretty trick, I will fit them on my 08 to make sure everything looks good before I start cutting extras.
