The Build Thread of my Rocky !!!

[TheWraith]

[MENTION=116156]TheWraith[/MENTION] Hey man when are you going to dome some more performance mods and dyno them? Maybe some shorty headers (since you're in CA) or the URD MAF calibrator. Many posts of people buying the MAF calibrator, but not a single one has reported back with results.

in the middle of buying a house ... hence the money problems.

but to answer your question. I wouldnt want to spend money on something on just an intake & exhaust... I would spend it if I was going to supercharge my rig but I dont even know if the URD supercharge is out yet...

 

[TheWraith]

how much did you end up paying did you pay just for the runner, wheels/tires and lift kit/alignment total?

um I dont ever do that ... it'll just make you cry

Ah totally understandable. I really need to stop spending on my truck and start saving for a house.

Its supposedly done and ready to go into production, but it was a few months ago that Gadget said that and not a peep since. Reeeeally hoping it comes out before I have too many miles on the engine to be worth supercharging.

Thanks for your reply! Love your rig and really appreciate the info you've given us. Good luck on the house purchase!

It won't be for awhile... buying a house, furniture, a new washer & dryer. Kinda saps all the fun out of going out...

Finally done with my crazy work schedule. I get to do a bunch of installs this weekend. Fogs, rci rear pumpkin skid, transfer case skid, and gas tank skid going on this weekend and hopefully my gobi roof rack will be installed next week...

dead tired.. Just got off a 12hr graveyard shift...

got home and slept for 2 hrs and unwrapped this:

I prepared the legs first. made it really loose. And with the help of my 4'11" Wife... I lifted the whole rack; while she guided it onto the roof. We draped a old comforter on top of the roof.

Started to bolt it down and tighten everything ...

bolted the wind deflector

Wifey testing out the ladder and the rack ...

Mounted my Rigid Radiance 40" Light Bar ... still need a wiring harness and switches. bought some switches and they didnt fit. Just need to figure out where to route it ...

Take the horrible GOBI off the wind fairing. It's killing the murdered out boner!

[LawnDart]

Cool I ripped mine off but had to rattle can the fairing with a black matte primer. Done and done.

re: that fairing, do yourself—and that bananas paint job—a favor and check out this PSA courtesy of [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/112535-check-your-fairing.html

your 4Runner is insane. that paint job... you took a truly terrible thing and turned it into something positively amazing. :bravo:

then again I could paint over it ... and keep the Gobi lettering

It looks better without the GOBI on there. I believe it's a decal but it leaves behind some white residue that still looks like "GOBI" is on there. hence the paint.
