I'll be glad to do that if I can ever get back home. Unfortunately I'll be in Europe until Saturday evening and the earliest I can pick up the truck is next Monday.

At least you are not stuck in CLT again. Weather prognosis for tomorrow night sucks here.

That is going to be a sweet mod.

"good" power? C'mon Charles....GREAT power. You've hit the trifecta - diesel, turbo, Toyota...

The shop drove the truck today for about an hour and reports good power from the Garrett turbo. Boost and temps. are running in a very satisfactory range. The only holdup so far has been the exhaust shop which has been to busy to work me in. They are scheduled to take the truck in the morning. (Hopefully)

The Intercooler is from a Porshe 944.

The Intercooler mounted in the ARB Brushbar. It sets back approximately 1" from the opening which will allow it to be cleaned if necessary. There will be a skid plate under the Intercooler (not completed at the time of the photo) and a removable "tight mesh" screen cover to keep debris out of the Intercooler when playing in the bushes.*

Nicely executed!

Technically the Walmart parking lot is off-road.

Bushes in Walmart parking lot? I don't recall seeing landscaping at our regional emporium....

Only Super Walmarts have bushes.

My work schedule changed and I had an opportunity to drive the truck this morning. To quote a teenage girl ... OMG
Even at 10 psi the difference is unbelievable. It feels like a totally different engine.
