They did a few months ago…
You can get Magnusson SC kit for 20+ now.
5th Gen 4Runner Tuning
This tuner in Birmingham uses VFtuner for 20+ and HP tuner for 15-19.

Yeah, sorry I should have been more clear: i wish Vivid would have cracked this. Im pinching pennies for the magnuson kit myself, and was very interested in the development on that side. Good lookin out!
*edit - I saw these others guys you linked and kind of assumed it was locals only, and I’, nowhere near them. Are they doing remote tunes?

From what I saw you have to find one of their people, that was the same with Toyotawerx and why I went with Vivid because I could do it myself in my garage

I just noticed on that “other forum” that there’s an OTT tuner in Utah, which is my backyard. Im going to reach out. If all goes well, id like to do stock dyno, plus retune then dyno, then intake/exhaust/retune + dyno. Maybe much more info to come! Thanks for your input!!!

what makes cruising at 80mph better with a tune? RPM's lower? less gear hunting on grades? both?

Reached out. Apparently there’s a tuner here in SLC. Perhaps more details to follow! Thank you!

less gear hunting. itll hold gears longer, so rpms will stay up, letting it keep speed in the hills. flat land, it seems to stay in fifth better instead of having to down shift randomly.
