Big fan of your build. Especially the lights and wheels!
I'm going to assume you signed the petition to restore Jeremy to his rightful place as show host of Top Gear...?

Absolutely, I have lots of tips to pass on after setting up this rig lol.
It is and always will be just as topgear should be... Clarkson is the cornerstone of that show and as far as I am concerned it is over.
Haha thanks man! We have the same taste in many respects lol.
I have not seen the petition, but you should post I link because we all need to sign it!

fortunately not everything on the interwebs is true. The actual decision will be released tomorrow this was based off speculation.

it came from section of the london herald. The funny part was that it said that a decision has not officially been made right in the article lol.

Did the deck plate mod today! I really like how it came out and now my S/C can scream as it wishes lol. It only took 20 minutes or so too!

So I am going to go big injectors, pulley down, and tune my 4runner soon here, and have been looking for a tuning solution other than the URD 7th (it's a bandaid). Today I stumbled upon this:
http://www.tokensolutions.net/toyot...and-play-standalone-engine-management-system/
It is a prebuilt Mega Squrit for the 5vzfe that comes with a plug and play harness! I had been tossing around the idea of building a MS, but the amount of work involved to get it to work well with the 5vz has kept me from doing it. I am really thinking about this though! I am going to call these guys up on monday and see what they have to say. If they are on the up and up I may be ordering from them shortly here!

Wow! That sounds incredible! I'm 99% committed to attending the Overland Expo: East in October. Work could throw a wrench in those plans . . . but I will do everything that I can to be there. I'm super pumped about it and I will definitely check back to check out your adventure report! Good luck and keep up the good work on your thread.
Speaking of this, I need to start one of my own build threads. I just got my 4Runner in Nov 2014 and now that work is slowing down I will be doing some minor mods of my own.

Awesome I'll definitely keep it up to date here. I am super pumped for expo this year. I wish we were going to East but October is a busy time for me with school especially since I'm almost done.
I'll make sure to keep an eye out for your BT!

So this weekend was fun. We pulled my S/C to do the case bearings and man did they need to be done! My buddy who helped me do it rebuilds and ports superchargers for a living and he said the gouges from the rotors contacting the side were up there with the worst he has seen. He cleaned it all up though so we should be good now. I have no idea how much boost i'm making now though since I broke the line to the boost gauge when i was reinstalling the S/C...
I will get a write up posted later this week in the S/C thread on how I did it. It was definitely a learning experience....
Also thanks to [MENTION=95069]TBuzz[/MENTION], I picked up a AEM Wideband today so I can start tuning this pig!

Fixed my fog lights today. As usual it was something stupid simple, in this case a ground that wasn't hooked up.
On a related note, I noticed that the 55w HID ballasts that I have hooked up to them may be a bit much for the 4in lights lol. They are made of glass and aluminum, but I think the excess heat may ruin the bulbs over time. All the more reason to fix my 35w ballasts I guess lol.
