Awesome Speedy!!! All the hard work and careful planning paid off! Great work and your guide is the best i've seen if someone is willing to spend the time and money you did to your rig.

Congrats

Speedy

Thanks again for all the compliments guys.

Correct. You just tap the brakes to get the tires spinning.

NA my truck wouldn't even THINK about spinning a wheel. I took video of that as well just in case I decided to use it later.

It depends on the tires and road. Is it easy? no but it can be done, just not at will.

In a parking lot near me it has the pavement with rocks imbedded into tab. with my dry rotted tires it will spin at will there but on my street with asphalt it won't think about it.

Speedy, nice vid! Definitely has a touch of top gear flare to it

I could watch that burn out clip all day. That's not something I typically associate w/ 4Runners.

Again, nice work!

Speedy

Thanks man. I love Top Gear so that's a huge compliment.

Texas_Ace

Top gear is great, i love trying to find the latest show on youtube before the user is banned just to come back with another account a few hours later.

I just got all of season 10 and half of the latest season 11.

Very nice. You should go to film school.

Texas_Ace

Yep, i use that same site when i download torrents.

Though i don't have a torrent program installed right now.

Me too. I find myself watching some episodes over and over.

Now all you need to do is add some commentary about your 4Runner to the video (similar to how Jeremy does in the vehicles he showcases) and you'll be right up there w/ Top Gear.

Curious - you've decided you don't need a valvebody upgrade, even with the 2.2" pulley?

Texas_Ace

there are TONS of people running 2.2 pulley's that don't have a valvebody upgrade.

unitofstuff

Do you think you'd have to drive somewhat conservatively with the stock valvebody, or is it really not a big deal? I'm just trying to get a handle on how much I'd realistically have to spend to supercharge my 4Runner, and I had considered the VB upgrade somewhat necessary.

Speedy

There's a huge thread I posted on this over on CT. I had a highly reputable tranny shop check out my 4Runner after all the upgrades. The tech took it for a drive with me riding shotgun and said the shifts were very crisp.

Also, if you really want to do an upgrade, save the money on a full VB upgrade which most aren't happy with (I get lots of e-mails on that) and do the shims as listed in this post:
