I would be curious to see what you intake air temps look like now. Do you have a way monitor them?

Im going to purchase either a scangauge or an ultraguage soon, i know the scanguage has the ability to read the intake temps.

i use the ultra-gauge. it does everything the scan gauge does except tranny temp. but i am not sure the scan gauge can do the v6, i know if can read the v8 tranny

id have to look into it, a tranny temp gauge would be something i could use, im towing often and dont have the trans cooler, so id like to keep an eye on it

if you like that on a 4runner, you should see what it did to my moms beetle during the same storm!

so i got my new meats mounted today, sorry everyone, they arent 33" duratracs or km2s, but 265/70 michelin ltx ms/2s. so far incredibly quiet, and smooth, and feel grippier than the previous yokohamas

 

[zopperman]

33s or bust!!!!

JK, i loved my michelllin LTXs. Looks good. Ditch the running boards!!!

So, Another Update. This afternoon i had some extra time after work so i threw in the K&N cold air intake i just got from a member on here. i know the stock one works great and draws in cold air just fine, but after installing it and test driving, come on. even if the butt dyno doesnt see a change, the sound alone is intoxicating. anyway, heres a couple pics, what came out, and whats in there now, if anything the 4runner lost some weight!

I like the intake and would love to do it to my 07 SR5, but apparently it's illegal in Oregon ... >.>

You might want to check your laws for yourself. Sounds like BS unless you in one of those crazy counties that think they are like The Republicof California

many ways around rules/laws. My intake isnt smog legal for when i need it. Once every 3-5 years. Ill gladly take ten minutes to swap my intake when that times come and enjoy it while its on.

It's posted on the K&N website. If you pull up the CAI for an 07 and click the link that says "legal in all states" it lists Oregon.. Any state that had adopted some California act or something. Don't know if I would entirely trust it without doing more reading. But either way, it wouldn't stop me from getting one. We don't do emission checks here anyways .

Exactly. We don't have emission checks here but all you gotta do is swap it when the time comes. Plus I'd do my own emissions test and if it really is that excessive I'd rethink it.

so, small update and a picture. i recently bought a few goodies because of good black friday deals, namely being 4 5100's, bushings and washers, spring compressors, and a few other non 4runner related things. well the fronts just got assembled with my fj coils at 2.5, and ill be putting the rear icon coils i have along with the 5100's in at some point, maybe when it gets above freezing here for a day.... anyway, pic as promised
