Got a new turbo from Diesel Freak! The RX41 sounds crazy! I also added a section of flex pipe to take most of the stress of the turbo housing.

Looks Awesome, what is the difference in the new turbo if any.
OE Turbo wastegate opens at 8psi, and is non adjustable. Efficiency rating is up to 100HP.
Stock K03 Turbo has a 34mm compressor wheel, with 4/4 blades. The RX41 is a 41mm compressor wheel, with 8/8 blades.

The stock turbo is helped with the boost valve that tricks it into opening at 16psi.

I was fearing more lag with a slightly bigger turbo but so far so good. If anything the power delivery Is much smoother. More linear torque curve. I’m happy with it.

Holy *hit dude, I just made it through every comment on every page of this thread.

Guess I'll say goodbye to six months wages come spring. My only saving grace is that I am waiting to start a government job that'll force me to retire at 56 and maybe just maybe I'll start in March. If I'm pushed until July or later you can expect me to be placing some orders with you.

I wonder if we can sleeve the stock axles.


Suck build dude, this is pretty much everything I wanted my 4runner to be, but I decided to sink too much money into my stock diffs so SAS is out of the question for a very long time and my *hit weighs 6000lbs.

I need some peanut butter because I'm super jelly right now

I spent the last week or 2 trying to figure out how I wanted to build my cage. Drawling after drawing and I couldn’t some up with something I was excited about. It’s hard to build a “cool” cage and also make it strong. There is a lot more engineering that goes into it then just sticking tube together with electricity.

I came up with a couple strong designs but they lacked character. Much like this one I drew up.

Today I was feeling extra motivated and decided to go out and just free hand the general shape. Not really knowing what I wanted I made a wish list.

Strong
Safe
Fit my co driver for hammers(he is 6.2)
Retain the roxor seat storage
Fit with a yj windshield and wiper motor.
Allow for a rear seat with plenty of headroom.
And of course look cool.

After a significant amount of time holding scrap tubes up in a web of ratchet straps and bungee cords to hold everything in place, decided to start cutting.

First to go was MOST of the stock cage. I decided to make things a hell of a lot easier and retain the B pillar body height and down. It is already 1.75 DOM and .120 wall. The same tubing I’m using on the new cage. I found some 1.5 .120 wall DOM tubing from previous roll cage build an and cut sections of it to sleeve the new cage into it. A perfect tight fit and also strengthening the tubes in a critical area.

Now with the B pillar up right I could start building around that.

Here is what I came up with free hand, because sometimes it’s best to just start cutting and bending with a vision in mind.

The hardest part so far was getting up rights for the dash bar. The factory switch panel is directly in the way so I had to get fancy to allow access to the switches.

I plan on spending most of my day tomorrow adding triangulation and bracing. I’m liking where this is headed!
