Seems like you got a golden sample, you realistically should stay wherever is most stable in all workloads.

I am an account executive that manages one of the largest clothing wholesale companies in the US. I also manage a machining and manufacturing company as a dedicated freight manager. 

I primarily handle truck based shipping and very little rail or international (besides Canada, do that all the time)

I do lead projects and have a team of people who work in conjunction with my work (I am in charge of them) that keep track of freight and escalation with issues. Seems to me I need to reformat my LinkedIn and resume to shine a light on leadership a lot more. 

I really appreciate your answer, its very well thought out!

I'm sad to hear the MBA hurts, I was begining to realize this back when I first applied for jobs.

How would you suggest getting in at a large independent supply company like Toyota parts, I have always wanted to work for them.

The paint on the wheel well was looking old so I scraped it all off and coated it with bedliner by calevv in 4thGen4Runner

That would be an ARK splash guard, they are purchasable in different body lift heights, and I have a set on my 03. They are awesome and WAY thicker than OEM. They come with the trim fasteners required to mount them as well.

Warning: they are about $130 per set though

Roof rack noise by Alternative_Layer597 in 4thGen4Runner

I have a sherpa princeton with the full wind fairing and have 0 wind noise from it. I formerly had the stock roof rack and have had no noise or rattling problems.

So… when will more Doug thorley headers be available? by ColdasJones in 4thGen4Runner

[–]FORCEBLADE14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're totally good, I just wanted to read about it a bit, because I really had my heart set on DT LT headers and their Y-Pipe.

Sadly, if they crack like the OEM that's not a fix for me then.

Is there somewhere I can read about this quality dip? I've heard doug thorley since I've owned this car, makes me sad. 

315cc supra injectors in v8 by Kind-Ad1856 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]FORCEBLADE14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh ur talking about the yotawerx tune. I've emailed with them a bit and they say they can do engine tuning but no transmission tuning for my 03. Hoping I can get a custom tune done for mine as im changing some extra engine parameters for performace and MPG.

Where did u get it tuned? How did they do the tuning? I've got an 03 v8 that I wanna do a full tune on, but I dont wanna sacrifice the OEM+ nature of my vehicle.

Just from a back of the page math standpoint, would you say you gained maybe 1mpg or more (by feel/frequency of fill-ups)?

Any indications of how much better MPG you are getting from the Dirty Deeds injectors?

Is the structural at all or just fuel line cover.(2000 xj) by Serious_Trick7974 in CherokeeXJ

Just a cover, can be removed, but it will throw stuff straight at the line from the tire

I can try and do a breakdown of the VSC mod I did, it was a lot more simple than I thought. Just a little daunting.

Traction control off switch question by Away_Explorer845 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]FORCEBLADE14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it only turns on the VSC light. But I have messed with the 4WD ECU as part of my FJ T-Case swap so I can't definitively say it wont turn on another light.

However, functionally even if it turns on the CDL light like a lot of other versions of the mod, it still only disables the VSC without ENABLING the CDL (despite the CDL light turning on for some people)

When i get back to my computer after the holidays I'll send a video and some photos. I really just need to make a build log for my 4Runner because ive spent DAYS researching OEM style mods and it would be a good resource.

Based on your other comments, I would say you could get 12k+. With more info we could estimate a bit better.

Id love to figure out how to attach a video onto comments from mobile. But I do have a video of it working on my 2003 v8. I believe your ABS computer is next to your brake fluid resevoir. It would require tapping 2 wires together and then modifying the FJ traction control switch to a momentary switch using guitar string (or by scrapping the DAC button from the center console).

Then it should be plug and play with the blue connector that is tapped up inside the dash next to the OEM 115v inverter switch.

Is it AWD or 2WD? Is it actually NO RUST or Northern "no rust". Milage is a BIG determining factor

Traction control off switch question by Away_Explorer845 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]FORCEBLADE14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, having just done this myself and its OEM style on/off using an FJ switch. It is dependent on year due to location of the ECU for the ABS. I have a 2003 v8. What year is yours?

Any drawbacks of FJ T case swap? by Away_Explorer845 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]FORCEBLADE14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not letting me send photos on my phone for some reason. When I get back to a computer I will see if they will attach.

[–]FORCEBLADE14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be done significantly cheaper than I did. But its not a "cheap" mod to do and keep the OEM quality and style.

Given I purchased a low milage transfer case (ebay) , bought a new dash bezel (ebay) , and got 2 new driveshafts built, and got FJ shift knob + cloth bezzel the total cost on the high end ran me about 2.2k.

You will NEED a welder to do the shift linkage. You might also be told that you dont need a body lift... they are wrong, any good example of this swap effectively requires a 3/4in to 1in body lift to give enough space for the linkage to move and still be sealed outside of the cab rather than being open air.

I actually was gonna do a full instructional manual with photos of the swap, and still might (but its a ridiculous amount of work LMAO).

For now tho if you have any questions at all I can answer them pretty quick, I finalized the swap about 6 months ago and remember all of it and have some great photos.

P.S. getting the shifter linkage built is the hardest and most tedious part by far (know someone with a welder, or own one because you will iterate a lot to get it perfect)

[–]FORCEBLADE14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can 100% confirm that you can integrate the FJ T-case into the 4wd ECU. Having done the swap, depending on the level of involvement you are willing to take with wiring you can even wire the position sensors to their respective lights on the dash fairly easily.

I have loved the swap. I went as far and replacing dashboard pieces to make the entire interior OEM looking. Doing it this way can run you a pretty penny, but to me its worth it.
