I don't care what anyone says about after market intakes on the 4.0l motor. The stock one sucks! The only thing I like about the stock one is where it pulls in air from. After I took my OEM one off I couldn't believe the crazy path that air takes inside there. A big bulky box is what I call it.

So i'd have to say a "dry filter" intake is a worthy mod. Kinda costly but its still really easy to do. It hardly gives you power you can feel at low end speeds but the howl is awesome! I think it builds off max peek power anyhow but it hasn't really been proven so idk for sure.

"Dry filter"?

"Dry filter"?

CAI: cold air intake
Probably come in wet too (oiled filter), but I think this is what was meant.

So what part of the car then? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the internals of my car - spent more time learning the human body than the automotive one lol

Engine exposed through wheel well-cheap fix

The rubber covers between the wheel well and engine last 10 years in moderate environment. Toyota charges $20+/ per cover and I wasn't "digging" paying that much for some rubber piece times 3. Instead, I took a diy route that cost me less than $13. This came about when after my spacer lift was installed, I noticed the rubber engine covers were either torn to shreds or completely missing...

Parts to purchase:
Panel retainers from autozone $6
Carpet rubber from lowes $6 (24x24 sheet

Photos will make this mod self explanatory while saving you $...

Wheel well/ engine exposure fix...

Cut rubber mat with blade to size. Puncture mounting holes with
Screw driver. Seat autozone retainers firmly in holes

 

[Brickyard]

Seat and set retainer and rubber coverings. Smile at how much $ you saved while doing this and the fact that you can no longer see your engine from your wheel wells. Tell your friends...

 

[Brickyard]

$6 retainers purchased from autozone

 

[Brickyard]

Final product. No difference between this and oem with 100+ miles...

Do you have anymore info on how you did this...or is it somewhere else in this thread? Thanks!!

Nice, the new liners look good and I like the price.

 

[Brickyard]

Rallybud.. Honestly, this came about because I was tired at looking at my engine through my wheel. I eyeballed the majority of it. I can tell you that for all 3 sides I wanted to replace, I used 12 by 12 inch rubber, then started cutting away while eyeballing the set. It's a very quick and easy project. The hardest part is keeping the rubber in place while puncturing the retainer holes. I have no
Idea how long this DIY will last, but is worth loads more to me than spending a total of $70+ on replacement rubber.

Please respond with questions or concerns..

Frank, my apologies. I had opened the thread right after your first post before the additional pictures/explanation. I came back to the thread a while later (watching football) but didn't refresh.

Thanks for the response!! Rick

 

[emelianenkov]

Awesome mod Frank! I'm going to be doing this soon! My wheel wells are open because of my bodylift and 10 year old rubber.

Nice write up. I was just looking for part numbers on the splash guards. Luckily i can use what is left of mine as templates. Thanks for the post!

Looks good, I used a black trash can instead of rubber mat. Held up great so far, rubber mat was a great idea!
