Some additional pics. I added a shroud around the intake to help IAT. The silicone tube replaced the aluminum

That is d*mn fine work sir! Great eye to the details!

Finished my intake air box. A lot of changes and redos on a few parts but fits like a glove. Getting paint right took 2 days

Quick weekend getaway heading to Byron Bay. Weather was ordinary but company was perfect.

Nice find on that compact solution

@CruiserTrash has a good turnkey solution. I did mine and took some work but done now. I had the Blue Sea box using Bussman type 1 breakers but took up too much room for too little capacity of a box. I needed 1 stop all systems. The Egis hub core...

Fartin' around at the 2025 Toyota Jamboree

The Torfab box didn't work for me in the end. Did okay job but this is the diesel version steel box and I could keep the steel from soaking up heat over the duration of a trip more than an hour.

Thank you.

Wow mate, super nice work with this. Well done.

Cleaned up the grill and surrounds. Duplicolor OEM Toyota Grey Metallic. Used scotchbrite red to clean up paint, 0000 wool to polish chrome. 100% better. Delamination spots used syringe and filled voids with resin epoxy. Stable now.

The air box is for the Disesl LC. Fabrication by Torfab. They've got 2 versions this one is a straight tube connection, their LS Swap is aluminum and the intake tube comes in at a 45 degree. Uses a flat panel that can be bought at the local...

Champion 3 core cut to support, BTB Products ordered. Top hose to passenger side as well. The transmission cooler is not internal so ran the trans to stack. Much better cooling with those 2 not sharing same fluid. Spal 16" brushed with Mishimoto...
