making room
(notice the airbox inside fender that im sure does wonders for air flow)
striking a perfectly good fender w/ a punch
the toughest mod to mentally prepare for so far

always nice to have a perfectionist on hand. ( i secretly hired him for his skinny arms but he trumped me with the multiple back surgery card when he saw the position necessary
) see figure #*@?

Nice writeup Jason, I know that pilot hole was a tough decison, I know it was when we went to put the snorkel on the 4runner....
Sweeeeet Jason. Looks great
Been there, done that. Seemed crazy when I was doing it, until it was done.

Jason, can you post up any improvements in temps, mileage, acceleration, etc. I know when we installed on teh 4runner diesel it made it much quicker and pickup at start was drastically improved.

i think i knocked a few seconds off my 1/4 mile 
Sure thing. I expect mostly improvements with the engine temps. Next mod will be a working gas tank that should allow me to check mileage against previous records.
only 10 miles so far...no butt dyno improvements to say. I just dont think quick starts and 37s on stock gears mesh well.

Looking good.
I need a garage that my truck will actually fit into.

So does J
- haha.Looks really good and I admire your bravery for cutting. It would've had to look the other way if I was there while it was being done.
Interested to see if you can tell any perfromance/temp benefits once you put some mile on it.
Well at least we know that you can go fast
He mustve caught you on a downhill!
How bad is it? I got a pretty bad one last year, went down town, waited in line, pleaded quilty to 9 over, paid court cost and went on my way. No insurance points. I have not had any tickets in a while and did not use a prayer for judgement. It was me and all the lawyers. A lawyer would have cost 300+.
Well, with speeding tickets and all the money you dump into the 80 you'll never get a garage!! I'll give you $5,000 for it.....

I was curious why you put a snorkel on, you'd have to drive into the ocean to hydrolock your truck Jason.
