Sad to say but I'll no longer be an active member of this forum anymore. Recently I picked up a 2nd gen Tacoma 4x4 that I'll be building. I'll be snooping around here to follow builds but if you want to follow my new build here it is...
Exhaust update. After driving that big bend trip with that annoying glasspack. I had enough. Got it chopped off and had a flowmaster 40 series muffler welded in its place. Best decision ever. Pretty much the perfect sound I was looking for all along. Highly recommend to anyone.

Big Bend Trip Pt. 3 (Rio Grande & Everything else)
If we had brought our passports, we could have gone into Mexico. Which would have been pretty interesting.
Rio Grande was dirty as hell. But still a cool sight to see and check off the bucket list.
Saw a coyote
After hike...
Big Bend Trip Pt.2 (Old Ore Road)
Airing down to roughly 20psi seemed to work really well. Didn't want to go too low to break the bead. Also my air compressor sucked so that too.
Longhorns always ruining pictures.. smh...
Big Bend Trip
It was a 10-11 hour drive each way. Over 1400 miles round trip, with 6 college kids in the truck (including me). Truck made it without any mechanical problems whatsoever. Only hiccup during the road trip was when we were passing by San Antonio on I-10 West. There was some ice on...
Haven't done an update since the middle of last semester so here are some updates.
Took the truck mudding at my buddies place early December and almost hydrolocked my motor. Went into a mudhole too fast and as I almost reached the top of the other side, the engine just died. I tried starting it...
I took a look at your exhaust setup and it looks really good! It also cleared up a lot of things. So yes the cat that I deleted is the upstream cat. I left the downstream alone alone and the O2 sensor which is past the downstream cat alone as well.
The bung that I have on my headers is for the...
Yeah there is a bung for the A/F sensor, I'm assuming this is what it is supposed to look like?
Is it possible that that my O2 sensor is bad? I remember that URD has that product and I was looking into that as a last resort.
Recently I finished sorting out exhaust leaks after installing my OBX headers on my truck. The truck has been running very rich for awhile because it was basically open headers for the longest time but even after the leaks were fixed and everything is good I keep having the P0420 code come up...
Updated Exhaust Clip
Here is a video of how my exhaust sounds.
Current setup:
OBX Stainless Steel Headers
Deleted the first cat (the one closest to the engine)
Small 8" generic glasspack muffler

Got a few updates on the truck.
The retrofit headlights have been leaking for awhile and one of the bulbs/ballasts went out during the summer. So I just yanked em out and put my stock halogen headlights back in for the time being. It feels like my stocks are just small flashlights compared to...
Got my 231mm tundra brakes on and went and went wheeling this past weekend. Took a leap of faith (literally) and jumped the truck. She did great!
NAPA calipers, Stoptech Powerslot Rotors and EBC Yellow Stuff pads. They work amazingly!
Still frames of jumping
So of course after some wrenching on the truck I wanted to test it out. I had yet to put the duratracs to use, and I wanted to see how well they did. I joined a couple of buddies that were headed to one their ranches with 100+ acres of land to mess around in. I just keep getting more and more...
