Truck looks better with the sliders!!
Excuse my dumb ?, The air intake, to get some more power from stock?

Haha it's all goodOK, I feel really stupid now. I’m going to crawl back into my hole and stay there.![]()
It does add a bit more power at higher RPMs, but primarily just gives it a throaty growl, and, most importantly, better throttle response. It's also got an easily serviceable filter.Truck looks better with the sliders!!

Thanks! Still learning so that helps!Haha it's all good

Thanks! After driving it last night and again to work this morning in heavy traffic with lots of shifting, I can say for certain that it has noticeably better response when I blip the peddle for downshifts now, and it seems to have really smoothed out the "stagy" feeling under acceleration. My truck in particular has horrible tip-in, which is when you hit the gas and it does nothing for the first inch or so of peddle travel and in some cases the computer is, for example, only giving you 35% throttle when you're really on the gas 80%, and gradually ramps up to 50%, 60%, etc. and you can actually feel it happening... but the intake seems to have smoothed out that feeling significantly so it was driving more linearly, which is huge to me. I hate all the safety nannies on this truck and the less I notice they're there, the better!Thanks! Still learning so that helps!
These engines need everything they can get. Looks good Josh!
I'll be a happy camper if we can get that bumper on tonight! I looked over the instructions and it seems really straightforward and it's a lot lighter than I was expecting so it shouldn't take long at all. There is some adjustability built in to the design so just getting it lined up properly will probably take the longest.Head stuck in a tuba....classic.

Oh yeah, we should be able to get it done pretty quick.I'll be a happy camper if we can get that bumper on tonight!

Hahahaha this is the absolute truthOh yeah, we should be able to get it done pretty quick.
Famous last words to our wives. It will probably take us forever now and they will be pissed and bugging us about what is taking so long.
Happens to me all the time man. I just finally told my wife that I will be done as fast as possibleHahahaha this is the absolute truth![]()
Same. Mine has already been volunteered as an extra set of hands for the install tonight too hahaHappens to me all the time man. I just finally told my wife that I will be done as fast as possible
My wife just asked me what time I thought I would be home tonight. I just told her that I didn't want to promise anything.Same. Mine has already been volunteered as an extra set of hands for the install tonight too haha
Oh,
My wife just asked me what time I thought I would be home tonight. I just told her that I didn't want to promise anything.
It includes hardware to mount directly to the bed rail. Mine's going to go on the front rail under the back window, I think.How are you going to mount that thing? Looks interesting.
That shit looks so God damn amazing!New bumper is on! Huge thanks to @Man Of Steel TRD! It's so sick, completely customizable, lightweight, aerodynamic and just looks amazingly amazing!!!!!
So many options!
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!! SO OVERLAND!!!!

We can probably knock it out this weekend if you want!So when you wanna install the bumper on mine?
Yeahhhhhh the install didn't exactly go as planned, and the bumper is going on Jeremy's truck, not mineMan I can’t wait for my front and rear to get here in September. Too bad I won’t be in as to install it
It turns out this bumper just isn't what I need. It relies on the hitch receiver for structural support and integrity... meaning you can't remove the hitch, and it has little strength on its own. Getting rid of the receiver and increasing ground clearance was half the point, adding strength and protection was the other half. This bumper really does none of that for me, so it's going on @Man Of Steel TRD's truck instead and I'm shifting gears.What happened?

Worked out for me and my pavement pounder but not so much Josh. I don't care about extra clearance. Just want to be cool.It turns out this bumper just isn't what I need.
