Next step on the TDI 4Runner will be fabricating the radiator mounts and then working on all the coolant hoses.

Quick Update - Lots Going On
Quick update here - not too much work is happening on the Toyota right now. My business is in full swing due to the time of the year. I own Ride-A-Bike Bicycle Shop in Lincolnton, NC. We are covered up with sales and repairs here as the weather changes! If you're in the area or passing through, stop in and say hello. Hopefully soon I can get back to work on the TDI 4Runner project. I can't wait to get it on the road!

Exhaust System Progress
Tonight I made more progress on the exhaust system.
The high temp header paint was dry on the downpipe, so it was time to install the header wrap. I forgot how nasty that stuff is to work with! Reminds me of insulation and fiberglass dust. Glad that's over. Downpipe is installed and finished. I'll just have to add a gasket when it's all done.
Once the downpipe was in, I created a few bends, added some clamps, installed a flex pipe, made 2 hangers, and got the Moroso Spiral Flow muffler in place. Really nice to see some progress. All that's left for the next time I work is to create the exhaust pipe that goes over the axle and out the side.
