2017 86 progression of insanity thread
 

Looong time lurker (joined 2012) first time thread starter.

Picked up a CPO '17 Wednesday when I traded my decked out but I was bored of it 2010 CrewMax Tundra. Holy polar opposite Batman!


I have already ordered a bunch of parts and am meeting a member to get a Nameless header later today.

More to come!

Ah, a fellow Arizonan. Welcome

Thanks.

Thanks for a stress-free transaction @Louder, great meeting you.

First road trip, 67 miles each way mostly freeway netted me this:

@e30cabrio Great meeting you too. Congrats again on the 86!

Thanks!

Fun drive home, had just enough power to keep a Raptor behind me. Do the '17s have more power stock? It's not the dog (when the revs are kept up) I have heard it would be.

5hp more. Negligible, but that paired with the shorter gearing helps a little bit with acceleration.

Thanks!

Can you recommend a shop in the valley that knows these cars & won't take advantage?

I came from Tundras.com, there was an AZ marketplace thread I looked but didn't see one here.

Here's the Tundra I traded in for the 86.

EDIT.

I'm an idiot, found the regional area.

:P

Since June I have done a bunch.

The catback came last week, I ordered the over/frontpipe from Nameless and am waiting for the 6-8 week build.

I also got Whiteline endlinks & Blox front & rear sways.

that is a very large rat with it's head buried in the bush next to your car!

Where did you get that headunit?

There is a large rock and plastic weed barrier that has needed to be fixed for far too long. No rats.

It took some doing but I found a seller in Malaysia that was willing to ship to the US. Apparently we have ripped most of the web sellers down under off.

You can find them on eBay, just search the model number. I have the 918ws and if it’s hot out it may have to cool off before turning on.

I looked on ebay, couldn't fnd one.

That's where it came from.

Clear markers & LEDs in.
Thanks thatWESguy!

Few parts came today.

You need the black buttons too

I like the contrast.

Installed the 2017 intake & bypassed the TB coolant nonsense.
The MAP sensor fastener is completely different on the black manifold. I found one in my collection of bolts that worked.

Started my suspension today.

Rear suspension done, I was sent the wrong front endlinks so decided to wait for my Nameless over/front pipe so I only have to R&R the undertray once.

Looking good dude.

Awaiting your reviews on the Konis.

Nice car and keep up the hard work.

Front looks lower than the rear?

Thanks, the front is lower than I want, I'm not sure why it's so low.

I haven't driven much but it feels great, is not much harsher.

Back is settling down.

does that red intake do anything besides being red?
nice looking car!

Butt dyno says it feels better. I sent logs to my tuner to see if it made a difference.

I am waiting for a Nameless over/front pipe that is being built and then I'll install the Nameless header, front/over and catback I have and will be mostly done.

Thanks

WOOT!

My 2017 came with the red intake. Was that not standard?
Looking good!

Only manuals came with the red intake.

Thanks

WooT!
Happy happy joy joy!!!

How do you like those tires? They're cheap and I was looking at them since I often drive 100+ miles a day.

I like them, they were under 600 including accidental damage and install. I was only able to get them online, no local tire place could get them.

Depending on how long they last I'll decide to get a name brand or another set once I get my 18" rims next year.

Autotragic. They didn't get the extra hp either.

They don't send beer koozies with their orders anymore :(

Exhaust r&r commenced. My least liked part of any job, lifting.

Sway bar removed & set up, already tired, exhaust untouched.

Disassembled/assembled to the over/front pipe. Sway back in. Need a break. It just hit 101 going to shower & rest. Maybe finish in the morning.

Done, waiting for the Wife to wake up to verify no leaks before I reinstall the undertrays & take it down.

Nice mods....I especially like the Trunk Lip on this guy. Any idea where that one came from?

Thanks.

I got it on eBay.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/PAINTED-FOR...72.m2749.l2649

From Taiwan, took about a month to get, they paint to order. The paint match is about 85% (not enough metallic) it's a little flimsy and did not come with tape which I guess is ok since I have had bad experience with cheap tape & know it has 3M this way.
