2011 Magnetic gray SR5

[Antman]

Just got a word from the magician at the rhino shop

If you don't mind me asking, what did that run you to Rhino-Line the Gobi?

 

[2chains]

I like the idea of the R lining on the Gobi. Are you installing many lights on the Gobi? I upgraded my wiring to 14g right away as I believe the Gobi's was 16g at the time I purchased. Pretty easy to do just hook on to the existing wire and fish it through.

 

[Foques]

Truth be told, I didn't plan on any. But since wiring is there, I may do backup light

 

[2chains]

I've got the three lights on my rack and find the rear's most useful. I flip them on all the time when backing up. The front one not so much as of yet.

MR. [MENTION=88453]SCSPerformance[/MENTION] hooked me up with some amazing looking wheels, and @BartSR5 helped with KO2s.. picking both from the store tomorrow.

Can't wait for this snow and salt BS to go so that I can put these beauties on.

Plan for this weekend:
light bars,
rack and ladder
backuplights and foglight HIDs to be installed.


fingers crossed

 

[Foques]

Happy to report that most everything (sans the HIDs) is now successfully installed.

will post pictures once new wheels are on (Thank you again, [MENTION=88453]SCSPerformance[/MENTION] for making my year)

 

[Foques]

All toys are on!
KO2 rub something fierce when in reverse.. figuring out what to do; already cut bumper, but it still rubs

 

[Foques]

for the record.. I didn't get to rhino the ladder and am VERY much regretting it.
it's been on the truck for maybe 3 months, and already has rust on it.

Awesome looking 4runner! that thing is seriously sweet, is your front valence plasti diped? or did you have a shop do it?

 

[Foques]

Thank you.
The front was plastidipped at the time of pictures being taken.
I have since got it wrapped, however

Are the 6112's set at the 4th or 5th notch? Stock UCA's? Also I'm assuming 275 but I didn't see you confirm it.

Thanks

 

[Foques]

Those are basic bilsteins, not 6112s, sadly.
But yes, they're set to top notch, and yes on stock uca and 275s

if you travel through wisconsin I think ive seen you...

You never went with new coils in front? Just 5100s set to 2.5? Rear your running the 1.5 SAW coils?

looks good my friend:trophy:

 

[Foques]

Thank you sir.
Yep, I do travel to Germantown quite a bit.

Yep, just new shocks, no coils.

so, admins made my day, and got the forum unlocked for corporate firewalls.
work days is the only time I could get to the board as I am normally booked on weekends.
this said, my good friend, some of his buds and I did a bit of driving in the snow covered lots over the weekend

Productive day yesterday.
Finally got my Gibson Exhaust and Shrockworks sliders.
better pics will come when the weather cooperates.

Not exactly psyched about the Gibson exhaust. I may end up having to go back to stock, if the boss lady throws a fit

Uses OEM flanges:

view from below

Pipe hangs a little too low for my taste; will be doing more adjustments when weather permits:

Even at this angle, it is hitting the heatshield (which i've already bent quite a bit to fit it), and i'm still having rattles. Will address this when it is warmer out.
Overall, exhaust sounds pretty good, however, it is louder inside the truck. Will see how wife feels about it next week, but overall, it is louder than I'd expected at the low RPM.
I'll try to make a video of the interior sound in a week or so.

sliders don't stick out as much as I thought they would; and, boy, were they a pain in the ass to install!

 

[oljedi11950]

Think you'd be happy with a flowmaster super 70ii imo ! Same basic canister size as oem but sits up tighter & doesn't hang like that !

 

[Foques]

Perhaps, I'm starting to like it more and more, to be honest.
took care of some rattles.. will be adjusting piping more soon. Overall, even the wife lady is ok with it. I may have jumped the gun on the loudness

I don't know how I missed this post. Great photo's and glad you got it adjusted right. There is a lot of adjustment and flexibility on this system.

I have these priced super well but price is going up sunday. Get in on this while you can!

Burtman Industries 4th gen Exhaust Link is for the single rear exit.

If anyone wants the dual side, call me text me at 717-319-2100 (it's more than the single of course, but I will help out)
