COB's 4Runner Timeline (Pic Heavy)

[ChildrenOfBodom]

with the tundra backspacing to fit 33"s did you have to get wheel spacers? or is that cause you have the 99 talls and not lift? just curious got the same wheels with 3" and was looking at 33"s

Tundra wheels need spacers to run 285's on a 4Runner. I don't have the 99 springs anymore, I have an OME 3" lift. Spacers and you're good

Im still slowly gonna copy your truck! Its so cleann

lol LETS START A REVOLUTION!

Lol im slowly doing the same, I dont think mine will be as mint but once I install my flares and new bumpers Ill be close.

Thanks for the ideas COB

Ahaha anytime dude! Sweet ride!

looks great

Hey man,

THe truck is looking great! I like the spacers, I am thinking of getting some myself. When are you going to paint the wheels, they would look great in black.

I am eager to hear how the SC goes. When you get it on post a before / after dyno.

Lookin good COB!

 

[bak3rme]

those tires look awesome man. good job...after carefully examining your rig in those shots...it seems ur paint is still in very good condition. How often do you wash / wax / polish / clay ? have u ever had to give it a good buff with scratch remover or anything ?

I was hoping this thread was updated with a supercharger installed... Maybe tomorrow? =)

If your truck was a woman, she'd be a dime.

Thanks brother, hope to see you around town!

Actually, so far, it's about the same. I definitely love the fact that my speedo is now spot on and there's a little more power making it to the ground. The 4.56 gear ratio is actually perfect for 33"s on the auto 4 cyl, compared to stock. Everything is technically back to stock ratios.

I've been reading your build since you started it (I don't post here often) and I just wanted to say you've got what has to be one of my favorite builds on here. Also love the fact that it's 2WD (Mine is as well) and how clean it is. Your build is one of my inspirations for the mods I want to do to my T4R.

...

So youre still getting 300 to the tank with 33s?! Lol if you are congrats I remember you saying this is your daily driver

I'm at the half tank level with 120 miles (EDIT: Got to 140 before second half) on the trip meter. I usually have that same amount. I also have noticed more pep. My speedo is accurate now, before it read fast, so if anything, I'm getting better mileage! Crazy

For real? Cool man, you should post more often! You should make your own build thread so we can check it out. Just because a truck is 2WD doesn't mean it can't be fun.




In new news, I took the 4R to the trail and immediately found that my driveshaft was hitting the gas tank skid. A few minutes with my angle grinder and a hammer fixed that quickly. I cut about a 3x2 inch piece of metal off of the skid. Works great now, no rubbing. I also went over an obstacle I could never clear before. It's a large dirt barrier that is about as tall as the truck itself. I didn't get a photo, but I will next time. I scraped the CBI on the ground, it's so steep.

Next up are a set of ARP Intake manifold studs. ARP 400-8013 = ARP 400-8013 - ARP Stainless Steel Accessory Studs - Overview - SummitRacing.com

They're pretty pricey, but from what I've read, totally worth the cost.

It seems the 5th injector that is currently supplied with the LCE Superchargers is actually fitted into the elbow of the supercharger, as shown here, sticking out on the top left:

I will either have to purchase a new elbow or modify mine to accept a new fifth injector. Modification seems the most economical route.

LCE also uses a Split Second controller. I have been to Split Second's shop here in Costa Mesa. My brother had his 92 22RE tuned there for a MAF conversion. I will go to them when the time comes.

Also, here is what the seller is including with the sale, 2.4/2.5/2.6 pulleys, dynamic tensioner for 2RZ, and UniChip are not pictured. It appears all brackets and power steering pulley bracket, etc, are present. So far, so good! I'll just be picking up the ARP Studs and LCE Teflon gaskets before install. The teflon gaskets are basically isolators that keep heat away from the intake air. By keeping the heat out of the intake manifold, the incoming air is cooler, therefore making more power. I also need a TRD Boost Gauge and pod.

(Picture shown is for illustration purposes only. Actual isolators are white.)

Looks like I am doing well with my eBay sales and craigslist sales that I can get the unit early.

The Intake Plenum on the supercharger has been gasket matched already, so I thought a 4mm increase in TB bore would be helpful. I might buy one.

Here's a pic from today

Shrockworks shrockworks! :naughty:

[PalmettoRunner]

Back at you man... I was gonna be conservative as you were in the beginning and just get some 99 talls and call it a day... then I was like naw I'll get the 881's and 906's they'll be perfect.

After seeing your rig now I'm thinkin' toytec ultimate and 285's!!!

Damn you man! :redbrick:

Also you got a hi-res of that last pic... think I found a new wallpaper!

Hahaha... well, you've already got a sweet lifted 1st gen... why not have a sweet lifted 3rd gen, too?

If you're serious about that pic (I'm flattered lol), PM your email

 

[PalmettoRunner]

Hahaha... well, you've already got a sweet lifted 1st gen... why not have a sweet lifted 3rd gen, too?

I wish my third is my one and only baby, although there is an 86 thats lifted around here for sale... still have to pay this one off though!

btw in about 2 minutes you'll have a PM!

Thanks dude. I only got the spacers because I needed them, but they aren't half bad. I'd do it even if I didn't need them, now that I see how it looks.

I like the gray on the rims. I think, if I get that far into, I might have them powdercoated another shade of gray. There's a company that widens wheels (you take in 3, they use one to widen 2) that I might have widen them up to about 8 or 9 inches wide (MAYBE). They said $200 for two wheels. If I find some spares on CL for cheap, then I'll do that. Then, to top it off, have them powdercoated a darker gray.

I'll post a storm when i get that S/C I should definitely do a before/after dyno run. Gotta find a shop.

Lookin good COB!

Thanks fightman :boxer:

I buffed it and waxed it once, maybe a few weeks ago. It's in the build thread cuz I am pathetic That's it, though.

I was hoping this thread was updated with a supercharger installed... Maybe tomorrow? =)

If your truck was a woman, she'd be a dime.

I gotta get the thing, first It might be a little while, though. It's mine, though! We can find each other and have a Supercharger duel (you'll win, but oh well!)

Your truck would be two nickels

I wish my third is my one and only baby, although there is an 86 thats lifted around here for sale... still have to pay this one off though!

btw in about 2 minutes you'll have a PM!

oh, sorry... I must have confused you with another person on here. You both have 01/02 sport edition trucks is all.

Haha same thing happened to me, scary isn't it? Looks good
