415Yota’s Build

That gap on the snorkel would bother me. Curious if you will be able to get it to line up better.

Congrats on the little girl!

Thank you. Yea it definitely bothered me, i enlarged the holes a bit and was able to adjust it way better. Much more happy with the fit now.

I got a hood w/ scoop off Craigslist for a deal I couldn’t pass up, just got it mounted last night. Color isn’t a 100% perfect match but it’s close enough to where I’m not going to paint it.

Wife and kid went on a Costco run with grandma so I got some time today. Cleaned the hvac blower and made a new bracket for the snorkel out of angle aluminum. Decided on using 3m double stick foam tape instead of rivets to secure it to the a pillar, can always change the fender but can’t undrill those holes.

Did a couple things over the past couple weekends. Changed my oil, installed hood struts (diy), transmission breather relocation, and trouble shot my MAF sensor which I think needs to be replaced..

On Saturday my 2 year old puppy got hit by a car. Her name was Teddy, we miss her very much.

Couple updates
-got a used MAF
-cut my gas tank skid to stop the driveshaft rubbing
-made my accessory light switches dim with the dash lights, had to run the ground and power to the dimmer switch. If someone wants to know which wires I connected to let me know.
-got some new tools: vise, bandsaw, tube bender, tube notcher
-started making a roof rack

Roof rack in progress

Really good thread - thanks for all the info. The truck looks great, and nice workbench you built, too!

Thanks man appreciate it.
 
Got some updates, went on a few trips to signal peak/fordyce. I love it out there, everytime I go it makes me want to go back.. There is just so much to explore.

Here is the Arb awning/room freestanding, really considering getting rid of the room and just getting a regular tent. I only use this for changing/putting the baby down for naps and it’s kind of a pain to setup..

Finally got a scan gauge and made a mount for it. Helped a lot seeing how hot my trans was getting while off roading, especially on steep inclines.

Made a new mount that accommodates my scangauge and phone for gps. It’s super sturdy I’m pretty happy with how it came out. Made it out of 16 gauge steel from Home Depot.

Super envious of the runner and the locale. Scenery is awesome! Looks like it was a blast! That rack is killer too!

Thank you! Definitely love going out there.

Welp the tundra brakes just got put to the test.. I think if I still had the stock 4runner brakes I literally would have crashed. The little rubber nub on my transmission kick down cable got stuck on the throttle body and was keeping the throttle open. It was making the engine rev like crazy and was extremely hard to come to a stop. My first thought was I needed to bleed the brakes again but when I dropped into nuetral and saw the rpms go up I knew it wasn’t the brakes.. I think I’m going to remove that rubber nub..

Yikes, had the throttle cable on my old 7 series stick on the engine cover and rocket me to 110mph before I could toss it and neutral and coast off the road haha. Talk about a wakeup.

Almost shit my pants when I was pulling up behind a car at a red light and couldn’t stop, glad I dropped it in neutral. Definitely woke me up haha.
 
After having the paint for about a year I finally got the courage to paint my rims. Very happy with how they came out.

Comparison, old on top new on bottom. Slighty darker but with a matte finish.
