Koyorad offers both copper/brass and aluminum.

These All Weather Nokian WR C3 Tires look like an interesting alternative. Only available in 265/70R18 124S.

Great results!

The only important caveat is that Igor is using the old crappy tractor twin‑scroll Garrett turbo from the Safari turbo kit for the 1HZ — hence his sad torque/power graph after 2000 rpm. I always told him that this turbo is complete garbage, but...

So, my friend and neighbor Igor followed in my footsteps and implemented the split intake manifold and swirl flap project on his 1HD‑FT. Unlike me, Igor really loves measuring the results of his mods on a dyno, which gives us a chance to see the...

I’ve had good luck with both Odyssey and Walmart Everstart AGM manufactured by East Penn (regional). The latter is a relative bargain @ $189 for most sizes.

The pictured wheels are 18x8, it can be seen stamped in the wheel. The 2016+ 200 caliper must have a pinch more material over the Tundra.

The 18 hole steelies are heavy, but have more brake clearance than just about any steel or alloy 18” wheel out there. The design of the barrel could probably take a 370 - 380 mm rotor with high clearance caliper. I messed with a set some years...

Back when I was building an IRS Tundra (sold the project before completion) the plan was for dual tanks. This was to be accomplished by adding a LC 200 fuel tank on the passenger side, it would mount in the space occupied by the muffler. This...

Is this it? Looks solid! Though a two pipe/two converter option would be my choice… need to keep it dual exhaust compatible.

Make your own, these will help. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/quickcable-1-0-battery-terminal-compression.1370675/

Yes, the NX200T. Some of the IS models received it, too.

Did you purchase the igniters/coils yet? A nice upgrade are 8ARFTS Coils. They won’t produce more spark, although they can via tuning the ECU, but don’t need that as you are stock. However, the coil is built for hotter running environments while...

Great rigs, very well built. Will you be regearing for the K03 tires?

Good info! Thank you for taking the time.

Rough measurements show 200 series mounts are 7.5-7.75" apart. So GX550 calipers are a no go. LX600/700 or 3rd gen Tundra calipers still might.

This is probably overthinking it? Many of the the various ATF fluids are available for research/viewing at the link, a translator is required. They include plenty of the thin (WS) and thick (T4) fluids. They run the analysis, show the data, and...

Use the Toyota recommended fluids. Don’t overthink this.

I didn't have time to check fitment, but here is a quick measurement of the caliper mounting points of the 250 caliper. Distance between the holes is ~7.1875" and uses m14 bolts.

Wish I could verify this! Toyota is having another parts sale. Major savings.

It eliminates interference in the exhaust between cylinders. The firing order shows why 1-5-3-6-2-4. Very oversimplified, but if the energy from 1 and 5 are on the same manifold, 1 hasn’t cleared when 5 is about to join the show. 1 will slow 5...

Yes. However, the timeline here is uncertain. With needing brakes so soon, you may be better off installing the 2016+ parts, which will get you the 354mm.

The important part is keeping 1-3 and 4-6 separate for a good distance…. even better if all the way until the end.

See? Best rabbit holes on this board.
