Formidable 2008 V8 Nautical Blue Metallic Limited Edition URD Build

[awhitney1]

You going with OEM CV axles?

I can understand using aluminum skid plates as the 4Runner does get heavy! I'm pushing 5500 lbs empty weight on my V8 4runner and thinking I could re-gear it or maybe get URD super charger. I think I may re-gear since a supercharger is 6k, plus I don't think supercharger it for the mountains would be ideal lol.

Looking forward to your future upgrades! :dancin:

Sport hood getting painted. Front CV axles getting replaced as we speak.

HeftyFabworks aluminum winch bumper, metaltech OPOR sliders, DT long tube headers, and most likely a URD supercharger at some point.

Regarding material... steel will need to be hit with rattle can enamel from time to time. I am fine with that given the frame requires the same. However, these trucks are heavy AF. So the question is how serious are the trails planned? If doing most of the driving on road, occ off-road, it doesn’t make sense to go for steel when aluminum is a lighter alternative and depending on the fabricator, can be very strong. For example, the RCI under belly aluminum skids come reinforced with aluminum beams welded in. These beams hit my URD y pipe so the pipe will need to be cut at some point.

If anyone in Seattle wants 06-09 headlights for cheap PM me. One is Eagle eye the other Koito. Zero fog or condensation issues. Projectors have perfectly straight horizontal cut off. All tabs intact.

Also selling my stock nautical blue metallic hood. PM for details.

Where did you buy the Sport hood? I’m looking to add one to mine.

Craigslist. Someone ordered it and sold his truck. It’s an aftermarket CAPA certified hood. Will see how it fits.

Good find! Definitely trial fit it before painting, just in case.

Sport hood is on. One grille bolt doesn’t line up. No biggie, will widen the hole. Otherwise fitment is pretty good. Need to align the hood left to right a bit, but overall pleased. Brand is “platinum auto parts”

Looks great. Did you have to buy the plastic scoop pieces, or were they included when you bought it? I was just looking at a CAPA certified new one last night, but it doesn’t come with those parts.

 

[Formidable]

Thx! I lucked out I guess. Even the body shop asked to test fit prior to paint. I told them I rattle canned the front grille... Main thing is the hood is blue. Ha!

Purchased the scoop insert separately. Paid more for the insert and the hood scoop grille than I paid for the hood.

Yeah, that’s what I was worried about when buying an aftermarket hood. I found some at wrecking yards through an online search, but trying to find a black one that doesn’t need repairs, or paint is close to impossible. The good thing is that at least they are complete with all that scoop hardware, and hood insulation. If it has to be painted either way, I may be better off going with a used OEM one.

Scoop insert color matched and fit like a glove. Impressed with the quality of this hood. Left the OEM plastic insert out. Deciding on satoshi type grille mod or C4 lighting bracket. I think the C4 might come with its own grille but need to verify.

Nice Rig.

Looking very Nice...Blue Looks Bad Ass.

i did not receive any grille with my c4 fab hood scoop light bracket just so you know. Awesome build you got. :thumb3:

Ah... Well there it is! When I ordered the insert it came with the air guide. Apparently there is an OEM hood scoop grille I need to order. Can’t find the part number though

From what I see online I think what you need...the grille..is called a scoop plate..but I could be wrong, couldn't find any actual photos of it only the cartoon images Toyota seems to think is just as good, say you have the "air guide" not sure if that the same "scoop guide" it seems the "scoop plate" inserts into.

The part number for the scoop guide is 76182-35060, not sure if that's the same part number for the air guide you have.

Just an FYI, it seems that the hood scoop and related parts are the same on the T4R and the Tacoma since they both use the same part numbers, with the exception of the last 2 digits which are the color code part of the part number.

Thanks! I think you’re right. Based on the exploded view it’s got to be the “plate.” Very helpful!

Thanks for the kind words. The forum desperately needs more product reviews. Strange because the folks here are VERY helpful

Hey man, wanted to chime in and say awesome thread! You're extremely helpful and give lots of great insight on other threads!
If you don't mind me asking, how did you get your CEL's off with the DT long tubes and the URD Y pipe? I was originally gonna get the shorty's but it's starting to seem like the long tubes are a wayyy better option if I can get the CEL's off to pass emissions.

This build is CLEAN, good job bro. Not many people put this much effort in. I’ll be following.

Thanks for the kind words.

Just to clarify, the URD Y pipe does not require an O2 sensor sim or spacer. The Doug Thorley long tube headers will require an O2 sim or spacer.

URD sells an O2 sim for the 4.0 and a universal one for the 4.7L:

URD Rear Sensor Simulator UNIVERSAL - Underdog Racing Development

I got the URD universal O2 sim but also saw the following product posted in a similar thread inquiring about this exact same topic.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QNJJQCT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0ZH4Cb1J2NJS1

Will tackle the DT long tube installation either next week or some time in June if time permits.

Depending on your location, keep in mind the car will not pass the sniffer test or visual inspection.

Thanks!

It’s a work in progress. Trying to address some of the weaker points of the 4th gen in terms of performance and maintenance.
