the very FIRST 4Runner ......

well , ordered some new parts .. and also building some ..
we're now building 3.4L swap HEADERS , and the first set is going on my Trekker .. also some other things are going to be done at the same time ...

so heres the list ..

headers
front pipe
eliminate cat (with rear O2 sensor simulator)
powder coated valve covers
new 318 injectors
walbro pump
METH/water injection
2.2 supercharger pulley

I think that's it :)


.
 
I finally got the headers back from my ceramic coater ..
I built the headers , but I cant do the ceramic coating yet , as it is cured at a much higher temp. then my powder coating oven will go . Cant wait to install them :)

got er' into the shop . I decided to only do the headers and pipes for now , and leave the powder coated pieces to do another day ..

got the stock manifolds and crossover , as well as the header pipe with the cat off .

it's just loose right now , but all the bolts are in .. SUPER happy with the fit , I did have to remove a couple of the exhaust studs in order to get the headers on , but all in all , I think it was easier to install these , then remove the originals :) very happy


.
 
got the front header pipe , and front O2 bung built and welded .. connecting to the rear pipe and muffler .

well now parked again for the winter .
I will count this as a successful year .. Trekker did well on the "show" circuit with 1 best 4x4 in show and a 2nd best in show (2 awards)
physically I didn't .. but 2015 will be a NEW year
