I got sick of drooling over everyones pics so I installed my lift and tires this week![]()
If anyone ever needs anything welded or any tube custom bent give me a holler I manage the Custom Complete Automotive in Columbia on Providence rd. (were near downtown-2 blocks from Broadway)
speaking of fabbing up stuff, I was originally planning on doing a custom fab snorkel intake, but couldnt convince myself to cut a hole in my pretty fender, if anyone else is willing to commit to having a fender cut open, id like to try an 80 snorkel, just need someone to bring the 3.5" hole saw and drill to put it on, and im planning on using 3" exhaust pipe, so if someone wants to cover the cost of the materials I can supply the labor/fabbing for free. BTW the cost of the exhaust pipe wouldnt be more than 20 bucks, but you would need to bring me some 3" OD rubber intake tube (round type) and whatever color paint you want it to be, ill take care of the rest....lemme know......im dying to see what it will look like.

{And it's surprisingly topical.}
Hello the list.
My name is Rock Harris and I am a Toyotaphile.
Last year my wife and I bought an FJ Cruiser. Apparently it was infected with something because I couldn't rest from that point forward until I got myself a 4Runner. Kept looking and finally settled down for a 1987 one (DLX, it seems) out of Tennessee. Pretty, clean, NO RUST.
I grew up in Southern CA, and in the early 80s when I was in high school Toyota trucks were EVERYWHERE. Especially that canonical truck: The white one with a 3" lift, 33" tires, an aftermarket roll cage with 2-4 lights mounted on it, glasspacks, and a sticker for In 'n Out Burger with the "B" and "r"' removed. So I'm in heaven with my 4Runner.
Well, now I'm trying to get it licensed in the great state of MO. It would've passed except it seems that when the exhaust system was replaced, someone misplaced the catalytic converter when installing everything.
So I need some exhaust work. Patrick, do you guys do that sort of stuff at Mark's? It'd be nice to have someone who loves Toyotas work on it. If not, can anybody recommend one? I don't know if the resonator needs to be moved or replaced because it's in the spot that the cat normally goes. If it was a bolt up thing, I'd be fine, but it's going to need to be cut and welded.
And now that it's in the system, I can't just go somewhere else and cheat on this inspection.... That'll teach me to go to a state facility.
You know, I looked underneath before buying, of course, but I'm no expert, and, more importantly, it never even registered that someone would remove a stinking catalytic converter on a truck meant for the open roads.
Pictures to follow. I still smile every time I come home and see it.
Welcome Patrick, I see you have already made it to Washita. The wife and I have not been there yet but have plans to go on the 30th.
Do you plan on attending the meeting at Sybergs on Thursday the 7th?
Curious, how do you see I've been to Wa****a?
