    I believe the 3.4 v6 was that way. Maybe that's the 5vzfe? Memory could be mistaken.

    Not trying to bog down your build thread, so I'll ask here.

    When you ordered your JBA's on Summit did you see the "check fitment > choose engine size" under the 4.7 motor?
    Looks like they want you to choose cubic in. or cc's, odd because it's the same size. I checked my Sequoia and your Tundra, same results. :confused:

    I mashed the 285 button (without the Air Induction Crap on my 2002).

    Still waiting for an answer on the Gaskets in the other Thread. I’ll be using Remflex on the Manifold and either use the Toyota OEM Ring Gasket on the Collector or make my own out of Remflex Blank Sheet Material. Or, I’ll combo the both of them up. Depends on an answer over on the other Thread.

    Appreciate it, yeah 285 said it's a good fit for my pre air valve bs, same 2010SJT as yours.

    Your post talked me into headers when I do my front end refresh later this year. UCA,LCA,coilovers,lbj's,axles etc... So thanks :spending:
    It should help the install having all that suspension out of the way. :fingerscrossed:

    Cool! I was just over on Summit Site again. Think I’ll be doing their Taylor Cable Gaskets (Manifold and Collector) as they are a dead blow Aluminum. Taylor is formerly Percy Gaskets. I’ll be calling them tomorrow to confirm the Collector Gasket and post up paht#’s on the Build Thread.

    Let me know how it turns out. I had a shop to what they could to “restore” it but I don’t like the results.

    Where'd you'd find this Silverado style tailgate cap? I like that it holds a beer and mine is shot. Looks good. Plus, I could use the 40hp.....

    Ordered up some Remflex Manifold Gaskets and Taylor Cable Collector Gaskets. Will order some Remflex Blank Sheet tomorrow in case I decide to Custom Make the Collector Gaskets. I’ll be able to do a side by side comparison on the two companies, as well. :yes:

    Looks cool from the outside I'm sure. I wonder what it looks like when I'm sitting in bump stops in one side and stretching limit strap on the other while taking a turn. It's not that bad. In a normal truck it would be even better. My springs are a little too soft.

    Might find some at a truck shell place. They generally get removed and replaced when you put a shell or tonneau cover on.

    Thanks. I like it. Would be a good place to hide a back up camera in too. Gonna order one even though my tailgate protector looks ok. I like how it flares out.

    Do you have to drill the holes in the tailgate or did you just use the tape?

    I’m torn on this one, but have decided not to replace them as they don’t exhibit any problems currently. Easily replaceable if needed down the road as they are first off and last on for this job.

    If they were the other way around, I’d for sure replace.
