    Well Lizard,
    I am not too happy with how the headers looks lately.
    For being stainless and titanium coated, they are very rusty looking to me.
    I will have to post a few pictures of how they look when the weather breaks.

    So, be glad they are on my truck and not yours.

    Yes. I am the one that posted pics earlier of the $50 mustang scoop with the spectre duct. For the throttle body, I really just knife-edged the front. I shouldnt have touched the spindle portion. And when I stripped it all down, I shouldnt have completely cleaned it. I had to buy numerous special rubber gaskets at the idle control valve. I ended up getting a spare and paying someone to do it. And he did the spindle correctly, by removing the entire front half and assembling it back with button screws only in its place. I should post some pics of the TB. He did a real clean job.

    Thanks for the points (again)
    I'm glad you're liking this build, good to know it is helping you along.
    I think you'll be pleased for some time to come, There are all sorts of wacko things either happening or about to with this truck. I need to be careful to keep it's identity intact as it starts to radically depart from a "normal" Tundra.
    I was going to do this build over at 4BTSwaps.com, but I think I continue doing it here and just link it over there. Seems there are still a bunch of you like yourself who either likes the build or benefits in some way from it.
    Thanks again...
  6. highway what are you up to?

    Not doing too bad either, wound up with 19+ round trip Cleveland to Vegas and back. there were a few times I got over 21, but the faster I went the lower it got. Around town 50/50 mix high 17's. No complaints.
