After working for the same company for 35 years, today I walked out the door for the last time and tomorrow is day one of retirement! Made the decision over Christmas and have been working out the details and transition for the last four months...

Yes I do. Probably way too much. I have probably 150# in spare parts and tools. The only time I even open the Plano box I store all that stuff in during my two weeks in Colorado was to hunt for a host clamp to fix your toilet and I didn’t have...

Is there a tipping point where being so heavy increases the odds that you need those spares? I have often thought events like COTR bringing the spares but leaving them at basecamp. Worst case scenario someone runs me back down the trail to go get...

Cause I know how much you guys love the Sport in SUV. Time to go hunting for some AMGs.

I browsed through a bit and didn't see a lot of technical comments. I have extensive experience supercharging Tundras and a couple LX570s. My personal Tundra has 305k on it and been running a TRD supercharger the last 90k. You have a variety of...

I love my supercharger. Off road, 3rd or 4th gear with the center diff locked puts a smile on my face every single time. It's great around town but to fully appreciate the torque/hp the center diff lock needs to be engaged. I've had a few fast...

The Magnuson is better is the sense that it comes with upgraded TRD injectors which the Harrop does not and needs to be purchased after the fact. Either way I would absolutely get a custom tune from OTT, Snivilous who is on here, or another...

You don't want to waste your money on it. 95% of the time I drive mine like a grandma and it feels like a stock truck until you really hammer down. Additionally you will hurt the feelings of all Jeep 392 owners being a better 4WD and being as...

Catching up because a lot has happened in the last two months since my trip to Moab. I was due for an oil change the second I pulled in from my trip. I noticed the skids looked a little...grimey so I pulled them off and found this horror show...

I finally got around to installing the extended rear brake lines I’ve had on my shelf for about 18 months. I fully intended on going rear long travel but never got around to it. I also made some pretty big holes in my fender. Fitment is 7...

Take both my 1993 80 series and my 2021 to these guys. They see a decent amount of cruisers. https://japaneseautosvc.com/

I would do a tune on any supercharged setup. I've done datalogs with "stage 1" Harrops where they don't have a tune, and there is a ton of knock retard happening. Which isn't strictly a "the engines gonna blow" issue, but it means you're...

Yep, VF Tuner platform allows tuning of the '16+. Mines an '18 I've had a Harrop on it for 3 years this October. First full year was untuned. I lived at 10,000 ft so I never got even close to hitting full boost. I have around 45,000 miles on it...

+>40% is a better way to look at it. Also note that Harrop provides this data saying their 2650 "kit" does not need a tune. If you add TRD or other aftermarket injectors and a tune from OTT, or @snivilous who is the go to for most all the Tundra...

Damn, have you been to sea level and done any 4wheel burn outs yet?? Side note, from what I've been told, doing the gears on the 8-speed AE80F is the best mod you can do to help protect your transmission long term when adding power, bigger...

I'd agree there are factors that will drive gearing. But desirable overall gearing will generally be closer to stock than dramatic changes. For example, the Tundra tow package changed factory gearing from 4.1s to 4.3s, or only a 6% change...

Using the above data and tables here to answer your questions. Short answer is you want 3.9s. It'll be a world of difference between your current setup (yellow) versus 3.9 gears (green) as an 18% overall gearing improvement. You currently have...

I just did a ~700 mile trip on the 3.9 gears and Eaton lockers on my 8 speed supercharged LX on 35s and the truck feels absolutely perfect even loaded up with tons of gear (RTT, rack, tables, drawers, fridge, kayak, 3 people, etc). Slightly more...

Can you explain what you mean by bottoming out? Like hitting rear bump stops hard? Are your bumps still stock?

My first vote is for a stiffer rear swaybar and possibly a custom front swaybar next. But I’d like to hear from others. @PADDO have any opinions?

Yep! I’m totally behind you 100%, let’s get cutting 😉

Yea, that's why I said 39's. -1.5" radius difference so a 3" vs a 1.5" BL is relative in my mind since most trucks can clear a ~36" tire with minor mods and the correct wheels. Wild part is he is still on stock bumps! I don't mind cutting at 3...

You’ll be cutting more than Chad did if you use my body lift. He built his own 3” body lift! But that’s the basic recipe for any big tire in my opinion 😂 With that in mind, Toyo now shows their new RT Pro available in a 40x12.5r17 (most 40’s...

So all i need to buy to run 39/40's is a NST Spec body lift and a saw. Seems easy enough! :hillbilly:

Derek is a fairly new and small operation and just does fabrication on the side currently. He has a small auto dealership specializing in Toyotas. He is a cruiser guy and I just suggested he get involved in the Mud community if he's not already...
