4 inch aluminum cold air intake for the Bonneville 45. I have been accused of going over the top on a lot of things on this build since day one. All I can say is " You Bet " When we get to the Salt and pop the hood I expect everything from That's Badass to What the Hell are you thinking LOLOL Lifes to short to not have some fun and thats what we have been doing since our first race

I'd like to see something over 100 MPH Honestly getting 6 timed runs on a track with so much history is going to be enough for me.
Bag o’ ice in the glove box too?

what class are you planning to race in? Are you planning to actually set a record?
What do you think
I’m pretty sure you race the clock.
He already said he’s happy just to make the 6 runs.
And I totally understand !! So cool.
Seems like it’s possible to set the record for the fastest FJ45 stock class

You should do a few seconds of reading about SCTA classes and records you would understand that it was a serious question

We are entered in the 150 MPH Club. 2 reasons One - The 45 has the Safety gear ( Rollbar, lap belts, window nets, and so much more we are allowed to enter as a 150 MPH Club Truck/Car ) Two by doing this we get to run on the 3 1/2 mile course. Are we going to set a record ? Well we will be the first Toyota Model FJ45 to make any speed run at Bonneville and it will be recorded by the Southern California Timing Association and sanctioned by the Utah Salt Flats Racing association. There is no baseline speed for a 45 since its never been done. Whatever we do were going to have fun doing it.

@cruisermatt I should add, Our biggest restriction is having a speed rated tire. TOYO Tires sent me the ones we are running rated at 118 MPH so we are basically limited to that speed. Not that I think we will come close to that LOL We will pass tech, make our runs and see what happens. My Ultimate Goal like every other race we have done. Don't kill the truck and Enjoy it

We are just over a week from leaving for Bonneville. I will be honest converting the 45 from Desert to Salt has been a challenge. Today I should have the complete drive train finished. We still need to add secondary throttle spring and install the front windshield Thank you @cruiseroutfit Tomorrow my buddy Corwin is coming over to help with the air dam, Built and donated from Summit steel . I had some other ideas for the 45 those are luxuries at this point. Right now the focus is passing Tech and making some runs on the salt. Thanks for all the Support. Lets have some fun. PS does anyone have a Star Link set up cell and internet is sketchy out there and it would be cool to do some live feeds

Bonneville 45 Air dam is in place. We had a Blast today in the backyard. My buddy Corwin showed up and we killed it. Don't Think just Build. Its completely removeable so we can make a few runs with and without. What's it going to do ? Who knows, Will it help ? I have No idea. That's the Best part of what I have been doing for the last 3 years. Going outside the box. From the Desert to the Salt. ' DONT THINK JUST BUILD " oh and have FUN
Be careful, I "HEARD" It can be very addicting running Bonneville.

Could be. This is our Last Waltz. Bonneville will be the last race/run. Its been Amazing last 3 years. I am hanging up my suit after this one. There might be an Exhibition race later next year but that's it. Time to focus on other projects, Family and Enjoying some Road tripsBe careful, I "HEARD" It can be very addicting running Bonneville.
Hey Rob, maybe after bonneville you can push some snow with that thing..........
