One crosby, one btc... both USA. Good 'nuf for me. Take note on the 1.5" "pool noodle" pipe insulator cut into rings for isolators :cheers:

I'll take it!

Keep on keeping on... [emoji869]

Man I'm jealous of that garage space you have. Great build thread, love the 4Runner and those headlights came out great! Let me know if you're ever near the NW Chicago burbs, would be awesome to see it in person.

Right on man. Appreciate the kind words! I'll definitely hit you up down the road if I have travel plans, and feel free to do the same if you come up this way for any reason :cheers:

Keeping this thread alive... Barely!
Runner still strong and solid as day one.
Hope you other fellas are killing it on here. [emoji869]

Replaced meself a dead Red Top today. Threw in an Interstate 24F for $150 and change, see how that treats me for a while.

Also reinstalled a loose exhaust heat shield that was rattling like crazy, turned the grease gun on the driveshafts, and realized that my trusty Falkens might not have enough meat to keep my confidence high in these blustery winter months. Might be looking for a winter set on the priority list.

:cheers: to many more miles trouble-free!

Happy 2021 peeps!

...... Might have stumbled upon a unique opportunity on a 5th which means this rig might be hitting the market! :yikes:

I almost hope it doesn't pan out, as I'd heckin miss this V8.

Stay tuned!!! [emoji869]
