I noticed my TRD CAI was on its last legs. The filter was dry rotted, the box was very brittle and cracking in a lot of places.

I decided to just get a K&N CAI to replace it as the TRD was about $500 vs $350 for the K&N.

My one issue, the K&N tells you to scavenge a fitting off the stock intake to use on it, I do not have the stock intake, only the TRD and that eliminated the need for the fitting, I was able to find the part number, Toyota wanted over $40 shipped, I found it OEM on Amazon for $20 shipped and it will be here tomorrow. For now, I made an adapter out of some orange cap I had lying in my garage that fit the hole, sort of. I will feel better once the correct adapter arrives.

These are stuck on good. But the calipers say what I found work. I'll make an order.

The ones still in the fender just had paint on the threads, so a pair of vice grips on that flange and you should be able to get the nut off. Then a good clean up on the bench grinder wire brush should make them serviceable. If I recover all of those I only need a few for the right rear, it was missing some. I was planning to come down with Zac, so you don't need to bother with them if you're busy.

I'll go see if I think 1/4" will work on the rubber side....

Edit: yes, it looks like 1/4" screw thread on the rubber side will work, 5mm on the nut side should be right.

I only need 2 for the other arch if I recover the ones in the fenders, if not I'll need a dozen.

I'll see if I can find a suitable one near me. If not, I'll add one to the parts list to order from Spares.

I see more car haulers arriving here than I care to see, it appears the snowbirds are arriving early this year, instead of our leaves changing color, our license plates do.

Still 90° with 70%+ humidity, We just had a week of non stop rain that really pumped some moisture into the atmosphere.

We normally start to get a break here, it is looking like we will be in shorts through December this year.
