looks good :thumb3:
since the starter is out, you might as well replace the contacts on it too. its only like $10 to do and its really the only thing on the starter that goes.

Lately, the engine has been producing a vibration. The crank pulley seems to be wobbling pretty bad, seems to be that the harmonic balancer wore out. My crank seal is leaking as well, so removing the pulley won't go to complete waste. Dorman has one for sale on Rock Auto for $96. I'll install it when it gets here as well as the seal.
Muffler is here, new catback system going down Wednesday (2.5" piping, 24" Magnaflow, stainless tip). Ordered an Oxygen Sensor Weld-On Flange from LC Engineering too, should be here by Wednesday. Another $150.

The crush seal started leaking on my rear diff for some reason... so that's gotta be fixed, too.
Dylan, I'd have done the starter contacts but I didn't read your post until after I got it back together, thank you for the suggestion though.

Yeah man, here's some pics of what's left
He apparently won in a game of "change lanes blindly and slam into traffic"
(edit: this truck continues to sit, as a result of this accident. 4 years and counting... 10-7-14)
Nothing says speed like red silicone tubing and a chrome intake pipe.

Note (11/13/11): In case you're reading this post, please be aware that Magnaflow does NOT know how to make a proper exhaust system. This piece of crap, shown below, broke only months after install. If that wasn't bad enough, I replaced it two times before I gave up on this horrible company. Don't waste your time with their crap!

This video sounded great the first few days, but all 3 of the mufflers I had turned into rattling pieces of crap within months.

I'm very surprised myself, it sure doesn't sound like a 2.7 4 banger anymore. The volume is actually pretty good, but not so much where I'm attracting attention. A lot of the noise in the video is from the intake (which has seemed to become much louder since the exhaust, muahaha
)The crash site was the 55 North right between the 73 and 405 in Costa Mesa.

i saw that video in your other post. It's funny that your camera fell.
Flowmaster sounds like SHIT on a 4 banger though, the riciest noise. I'd considering flowmaster if I had an American V8.
here's a 2.7 with a flowmaster 40 series

oh wow it does sound like crap. it has that weedeater/lawnmower combo:naughty:
So i was reading through the thread and came across the sports hood stuff.
How much do you think it would be for me to change my original hood to that?
I have a 99 Limited, I really like that hood and also wouldn't mind getting some 3rd or 4th gen sports edition rims. How did you find those too?
BTW.....You have made some amazing progress on your T4R

The hood, to be honest, way too much money. If you're in a situation where your hood becomes damaged or needs to be repainted, then I would consider it. My situation led to my fender being replaced. In order to paint match my new fender, I had to have my hood matched with it. I didn't want to waste the chance of new paint on my old damaged hood so I dumped $56 on a new one from Certifit, which is actually a very good price. The insert though, it fits inside of the hole in the middle of the hood, cost $175 from Toyota. There's nowhere else that I have seen that makes the insert... so that's already $225. My insurance company paid for the paint, but I can only assume that would be $150ish from a body shop. You'd be looking at almost $400 for the hood, insert, and paint. If you have a color that has faded over time, and you wanted to match your fenders to the hood, you're looking into a lot more money.
I think you saw some of my older pictures, the set of wheels I had before my current ones are from an 02 Limited/Sport model. Those were good looking but they really just seemed too "mall crawlerish" if you will. The 4th gen sport 17s look really good, I've seen them on a few 4Runners and they look great. I had to go with the Tundra 17's. I bought them from my best friend's uncle after he switched his rims on his Tundra, so I lucked out on that one. They're available on craigslist here and there, in fact there is a set on Orange County craigslist right now for $450.
And thank you for the compliment!

Thanks for the info, and yeah I would get those, but I don't want to copy your style because I have the same color t4r as you lol. But I am planning on switching my tail lights to the LEDs I have some clear atezzia looking bullshit i wish i didn't buy, but my clear corners and clear turn signals were a great addition, and I have the same viper alarm as you......great minds think alike.
