This should be enough parts to get the exhaust done up properly.




Off to my Brother's place to use the lift.

 

Good weekend project there. Sure it will sounds great. I like the sound of my magna flow.

 

Yup, sounds sweet. I figured it would be pretty loud since it's a smaller muffler and I'm running a 2 1/2" tailpipe out the bed side but it's actually really mellow at cruise and it just has a touch of trumpet on acceleration and the same buzzing on deceleration albeit much less than my green truck. I'm happy.

 

Glad it worked out great. With that done what's next?

 

Decent shocks to get me through winter then I'll put good adjustable shocks on the silver truck and swap the decent ones onto the red truck. I need a front 1 ton sway and torsion bars too. I'm going to get the reduced speed pulley set from LCE along with an adjustable cam gear and figure out what clutch and flywheel setup I'll be using. I was dead set on a 9 lb aluminum flywheel and dual friction clutch from LCE but for only $100 more I can get their multi disc super light clutch/flywheel combo that will be a bit less street friendly. Decisions decisions!

 

2nd gen rear sway bar is in and oh what a difference.

 

2nd Gen 4runner?

 

I may sell my cam gear

 

Yup! It was a compromise fit but it works. I had to flip it upside down then drop it down under the axle so it would clear the drivers side shock. If it wasn't for my class rules not allowing shock mount relocation I'd have just moved the silly things and put the bar higher but it'll do.



Nash didn't you just buy that gear? You'll need it if you shaved the head or decked the block.

 

^ Not sure if I going to shave it down, knowing me I will turbo this bitch so kinda up in the air.

 

Even if you don't go crazy with the shave job the gear isn't a bad idea simply due to variables in machining.

 

Carter P4070 fuel pump installed and I fixed a few pinholes in the exhaust and I figured out the ball coupler wasn't seated exactly right so it was leaking too. Now it's all fixed and running down the road is crazy quiet in the cab even with the windows down. The exhaust is whisper quiet at cruising.



Sold my wifes 94 4runner saturday so I pulled the ancient yellow top out of it for this truck. That also means she unleashed the funds to get some much needed parts. 1 ton torsion and sway bars, KYB monomax shocks, the rest of the urethane bushings I need for the sway bars and a short shifter kit from LCE.

 

if ya weight I well be selling my short shifter soon once i got to a w58 trans

 

I am running a W58 so that's what the shifter is for.

 

Craigslist score!


38 DGAS with an assortment of jets, spare air filter clips and the adapter crap from it being on a Jeep 258 all for $125.

 

What type of shifter houseing does it use comon truck one or car

 

There are 3 different shifters depending on application. I have the forward mount which looks like a typical truck 6 bolt setup. There is another like mine but the handle is set all the way to the rear of the housing. The 3rd is the newest version that is basically external linkage.

 

whats the purpose of the chain on the rear end

 

The chain held the axle at ride height so I could get the sway bar link mounts at the correct 90* angle to the sway bar. Beats measuring and forgetting what that measurement was any day.

 

He put a lot of weight on the back and then put the chain so he could have a nice drop on the rear. Bumps are a little harsh.
