Saker’s Midnight Build

[Saker]

Saker,

I've looked at your build about 3,000 times in the months that I've been waiting for my T4R to come in (and then the additional week for the 5160s to arrive). I'm really trying to decide which circlip I'm going to use on the 6112s. I've looked at Borfoo3's (and a thousand others) a bunch, too. I'm thinking third Circlip on the front (with 6112s), and then my 1" spacer with stock springs and 5160s in the back for a very slight rake (my front and rear measurements differ by 1.57"s, and if i extrapolate others' experiences, I think I'll have about 3/4" difference after the 6112/5160/1"spacer install.

You have a TON of photos, but I'll be darned if I could find one from the side on flat ground. Would you have a chance to do that?

Thanks, and nice rig!!!

Thanks for the Kudo's!

BTW, Like the handle...MRAD + .338 (as in Lapua?)

See if these photos will help.

Fantastic, Thanks! Just what I was looking for.

(You're right on with my handle, too).

Nice ride, has the plastidip held up well on the front skid plate?

It held up for about 1 year, that is until I started making it peel from one of the corners with the car pressure washer!
So my next task was to remove all platidip and then I painted it w/ Duplicolor Self-Etching Primer, then sprayed it with Duplicolor Semi Gloss Black.

SprintBooster Install

Received my SprintBooster and installed it (set to green setting).
Never thought it would make such a difference.....Toyota should have done this!

A very large improvement on the response!

Wow, I was doubtful but now I'm interested.

I just installed one myself, and can say that I agree completely. It really feels like a different vehicle. Today I noticed that I had gotten used to the change in response, so set it to no boost for awhile, and really missed it.

Definitely feels like a different vehicle!
I don't think I could go back to deactivated/factory settings!

Installed TRD CAI

How many more smiles per gallon do you get with the intake?

How many more smiles per gallon do you get with the intake?

It was just installed yesterday, but other reports are up to 1 MPG...... we'll see.
Maybe no improvement.....

 

[BlacknTan]

Very nice install!

If there's even a slight MPG boost, I could possibly be convinced to install one..

If you don't mind me asking, what is the damage .. all told?

Using the stock filter, was not a fan of using the TRD oiled filter.

Agreed!

I wouldn't be interested in the oiled filter media either..

Wow that's a good price. Do you have a link to this? I couldn't fine it.

Ok saker. Have been lurking your build for a little bit and the truck is beautiful. Like you were, i am on the fence about 6112's and which circlip setting. Do you have any after measurements? from early spring to late fall i have a 70lb (when its unloaded) bike rack on my hitch that stays there. i am looking to level but am worried that the 3rd clip with just 5160's in the rear will have little bit of rear end sag. Would rather have the front a little lower if necessary to accommodate the bike rack + bikes + gear. Any measurements unloaded would be greatly appreciated. AWESOME BUILD!

Lots of info from the start of the thread.....to the end.
I think the second circlip will raise your front 1.5", leaving a slight rake.
