    Performance Cold Air Intakes, to be, or not to be...

    Yes, but not for power. More for ease of cleaning and the option to run a front intake tube from AFE. I like the Pro Dry filters, even running in the desert I haven't seen any fine contamination in my intake tube. Can't really say that for K&N in the past. Sounds nice too in my opinion...

    The new white truck.

    It's good. It's not like race car fast, but it's got great usable power. Still need to get it on the highway. If it holds 5th gear at 75 it will be worth every dollar 😂

    Just want to thank @mZiggy for his knowledge on the Magnuson install on the Tacoma. Did the install per Maggys instructions but added Rogue Wolf Engineering billet fuel rails and colder plugs (NGK DILFR7K9G) in preparation for the eventual quest for more boost that always seems to happen...

    Battery Recommendations

    I am unsure if they have the tools to detect that the truck is tuned or not. Either way, I'm not worried about it, as they will find some other reason to deny a warranty with a modified truck in my experience. Like the supercharger I'm about to install :ROFLMAO:

    Battery Recommendations

    I slowly killed at least two pairs of Optima Yellows and Odysseys in my last third gen before I started looking deeper (heh) into what was going on. If you are only using an AGM for a starting battery and not using it for any off-grid power, maybe you can make it last. But draining down an AGM...

    The new white truck.

    I'm not expecting it to make the truck fast, so my expectations may be different than other people. 300whp in a 6k lb truck won't be a race car, but it will be way better than the ~230 they put down stock. We have a Gladiator at the shop with a 505 hp (crank) 6.4 Hemi. It's a blast to drive...

    I had the Wescott on my pro suspension for a while. it was OK, but didn't ride as well as struts designed for that amount of lift. I switched to this kit at the time and was very happy with it. It's only about 1.25-1.5" of lift on a 16+ though...

    I've gone back to non-drop bracket before. I saved the part of my frame that I cut, but a fab shop should be able to make something for you. They will also have to do the whole lift install, though, since it will be apart on their hoist.

    4.88's or 5.29's for your Tacoma?

    I think the assumption was that it was designed to limit the driveshaft or output shaft speed. I have mine tuned out and haven't seen any issues, but I don't often push past 83 mph.

    Can anyone tell me the difference between the Prinsu and Victory4x4 racks?

    That is most of it. The rear fairing just looks more finished in my opinion. Our mounts are separate pieces to the side rails, where they bend a tab on the side rails under and use a spacer to mount to the roof. Different ways of doing the same thing. I like the adjustability of our mounts and...
