    boom.


    installed pics. clutch is frikkkin solllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddd!!!! bang in every gear!
    the radiator fit perfect. but i need to get another little bit longer overflow tube, i had to fab one up cuz the original was a little short. i put a "vacuum hose" connector, its leaking a little bit but o well. it works!

    side note.... anyone hear of a problem with the power steering tensioner pulley going bad/making noise? i think mine is bad, makes noise when cold. i think. i tried to listed with a scope but its loud n vibrates though everything else. or unless is coming from something else. hopefully not the chain again, slapping against the metal guides. i guess i can always try to remove the belt so its not spinning n see if noise goes away.

    guess what i found on the local CL.... someone selling a 4Runner SR5 cluster. SCORE!!

    i made sure to read up on calibrating the tach -as the cluster came off a V6. found a couple write-ups, very helpful and easy to perform. after that, swapped over bulbs, found out i'm in need of a few more. have to buy/pick'em up from somewhere. need bulbs n sockets for the cluster. also got a new Toyota oil pressure sending unit and connector fitting -for that super freshy dope skills, came looking stock with the truck kinda look. ok ok.

    prior to my new cluster and wheel install, i had some free time while at work so i decided to remove the air pump. pretty easy. i just had to make a block-off plate and find a "new" gasket for it. didnt take too long n the abundance of horsepower OMFG!!!!!! its so fast!!! fast!!!!!


    Fast!!!!


    ... as for that little yellow plug..... dont ask about that yellow plug. dont speak of the yellow plug. dont ever touch the yellow plug. lets just say, if it is pulled out, you'll go so fast, you'll travel back in time, up to the moment of when u was thinking about pulling the plug n slap urself so u dont pull the plug.

    Toyota's do respond well to modifications. Too bad our US versions are so "smogged" down. I would love to drive a Hilux with the 18RG (twin cam)
