I think that if you consider that a modification, then your gay:)

That is a spruce up! No different than painting a rainbow flag on your hood and calling it a modification...

I would be prepared to get flamed:)

Good luck...

Well damn, I guess we'll all get beaten by him come race day... I think I'll go get a Trd Decal, some pedal covers, and some of those clear tail lights, only then will I get the 20 hp needed to keep up.

The silicon hose is much more slippery than the plain rubber so the vacuum molecules can traverse the hose length while expending less energy. All that conserved energy goes straight to the rear tires!

Hey, where'd ya get them purdy hoses? Think they would look good in my buggy? Seriously, I think there is something to be learned from everything we do. Next time, spend the the money on a header or something you are really gunna see a difference with. When there's a REAL difference, other than asthetics, then call it a mod and post some pics! Better luck next time, and welcome to the pirate board!

That would definately be my next mod if I could afford it. But I'm gonna have to get a can of Krylon and do a fake job. I should at least get half the horses, right? Then I'll make up for the rest of the power with some new stickers and chrome goodies:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Are those bad boys ARCA legal? Or even street legal? Can't be for how much power improves:D

Of course, that will all have to wait until I install my new neon under body lights, like in Fast and the Furious (you know, rock lights).

Not only can you get all the hoses in your engine compartment like that you can do a :rainbow: color scheme if you like as well. http://www.hosetechniques.com

Go get your stuff then pick a time and a place baby. Sorry but those attending must have at least two pieces of chrome "spruce up" :rolleyes: for every foot of wheelbase.

Not that dirty, but dirty enough to make me really wonder why he went to the trouble of buying and installing fancy shmancy vac lines and taking picutres of it...? :confused:

Just makes them look that much more ridiculous... IMHO. :p

Being that I am the first Toyota 4runner officially sponsered by HoseTechniques, I have been working in conjunction with them on a camo kit suited to the rigors of offroading. Not only will it provide sliky vacumn molecule transfer, but also in case of emergency can be tied together as a makeshift winch cable.

Truth be told, I had some leftover hosing when I did my Supra Turbo, since the hosing had become like KFC's crispy style. :nuke:

WTF:question:
talk about a third leg!!

NE-wayz, back to the real content. When are they going to get those hoses in mud color? I can't stand it when it rains and I lose that sweet looking coating of muck. And no matter how hard I try, sometimes I just can't get to a mud pit soon enough:(

Hey, we all have to start somewhere so you won't hear anything from me.

Few things I noticed though you might want to look at under there:

I didn't notice a battery tie down like the Toyota ones so if you don't have one
on there it is worth buying on, that way you never have to worry about the
battery being welded to the underside of your hood while wheeling.

Also you might want to drill a couple holes and screw down the fuse box for
stereo you have there. It looks like it is loose and will probably flop around while
wheeling and might break it.

The ground strap on the rear of the engine that goes to the fire wall looks
taunt. You may want to either reroute it for some slack or lengthen it. If you rock
the engine enough you can break that wire.

If you want to show under the hood, degrease the compartment and then
wash it. After it dries spray Armor All or another Rubber dressing solvent
all over the hoses and such. Wipe to get ultimate shine

When I used to recon cars, we used to spray the tire dressing under the hood
and the hoses looked new and made everything look great.

Good luck with you rig!

I got the yellow Hose Techniques kit for my Supra engine in my 4Runner. Flame ON!

Seriously, if you have the engine that needs new hose, why not upgrade while the engine is out? The kit comes with everything you need. No vacuum leaks for me.
