Formidable 2008 V8 Nautical Blue Metallic Limited Edition URD Build

Yeah the “plate” is the mesh you want. Not necessarily the “air guide” unless you want to block off the elements with the $20 fake plastic wall.

Part number: 76192-35020

From the Toyota parts page on the previous page, to get this hood scoop 'mesh' did you order the hood scoop 'plate'? I'm kind of confused what to get if I want to get the mesh.

So I guess you received the plate(?), I'm glad it is the part you needed, I wasn't sure because of how Toyota describes it when I posted the link for you, why would Toyota say it's a plate when it clearly a piece of mesh. LOL

 

[Formidable]

Agree. Thanks again for the link!

That's what I was thinking too!

After the eBay sequoia 4” intake fail, got the AFE full intake with the pro dry S filter. Sent dimensions to outerwears to send me a hydrophobic prefilter.

Any updates on the Doug Thorley header install?

Still getting quotes. Not looking good. Will likely tackle it at the end of the month.

AFE used to make the TRD intake for the 4.0L. They make one for the 4.7L. Noticeable growl at partial and WOT due to removing the silencers. The V8 now sounds wicked with the URD exhaust and this AFE intake. Maybe 10 hp difference. Quality is excellent. Everything bolts up as it should and unlike the eBay intake, no CEL.

I found a gentleman that makes custom acrylic covers for this intake. His SN is Coupe on tacomaworld. Spruces up the engine bay for the time being and allows me to keep an eye on the filter.

Outerwears hydrophobic prefilter is also in the mail. I run these on the GTR. Very effective at keeping the original filters clean.

Thanks for the updates! Always looking vicariously at your build to get more ideas for mine

how much for the cover? i like the idea that i can see the afe filter. usually i swap around that intake and the trueflow foam intake. for me its about the serviceability, i can always clean and swap out.

I got ahold of Coupe, today at Tacomaworld and he's no longer making the acrylic version of the covers, but he does have an aluminum cover available.

I might have picked up the last acrylic cover. Need to ask coupe to make more.

He said in a forum post that he doesn't plan to make anymore of the acrylic covers. Kind of a bummer, after seeing your's, I wanted one lol.

Me too! I guess if buy that intake, I’ll end up making my own! Doesn’t look very difficult as long as you can find the TRD decals (or just run it plain).

Hi,
I'm going to tackle my DT LTs starting tomorrow, if you are interested, we can exchange notes. I've done this once before, on a 2003 Tundra. I replaced the manifold with and oem style unit. Yes, it's a pain.

I have already started penetrant applications to studs, etc... If I may recommend:gossip:, removing the upper control arms, and intermediate steering shaft, and anything else really. YouTube

The heat shields make it a PITA. I will be taking a "cut away" approach. Cut the cats above the O2. Remove cats, this helps free up space to get up in there and allows you to remove O2s off truck. From there, remove/cut heat shields and clean studs, than assess from there. Mean while, continues penetrate applications :lasercannon: I may let soak overnight again, there is a lot of rust.

Good luck with yours!

Thanks! Good tips! I have the air tubes... so I may ask a fabricator to jig the Thorleys and build me a set out of full tig welded 304 stainless. Will sell this set of long tubes and install the custom set. Sounds like you got the install planned out and ready to go!

Thanks for sharing

I have a similar '08 Limited which I bought NEW for the wife (while I played in my modified Cherokee.) Now it's ALL MINE (Cherokee RIP...)!! I recently saw a very similar blue modified gen 4 in a parking lot and LOVED it. Yours is the second and really appreciate the detailed posts allowing me to hopefully achieve a similar final build. Although mine is Salsa red, I'm hoping to have a sweeter ride soon.

 

[SHagood]

Super clean! Thanks for the details, especially on the brake system write up.

Thanks! Nothing wrong with salsa red!

Thanks! You have a very clean build as well!

Ok, so I got the scoop plate in the mail. Now i'm having problems removing the scoop itself from the hood! I un-screwed the 5 nuts underneath the hood and nothing is budging. Any ideas before I brake apart the whole hood? I thought it was a gonna be a simple swap.

Edit: Guess i'll be getting a new hood scoop insert as I have essentially cracked it trying to get the old back plastic plate out.
