Great review. Question I haven’t heard others talk about. Does the transmission change its shift points and shift ‘earlier’ with the new power? In my last car, a tuned s/c Audi suv, when I added (a lot) of power over stock it caused the transmission to shift much earlier because it was getting...

I think I am going to avoid ever having the dealer change the oil. They seem to always damage something while they are in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I just tried it without using the drain tap for the filter and think I will use it next time. Got oil everywhere. Maybe saved me 10min. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are other threads on this, but I've got a '22 Limited (has the surround view aka "MTM" like yours) and yes the rear view camera display quality is garbage. We know: - Without MTM, the quality is better - All of the trims have the same part number for the rear camera - So, crappy head unit...

Yeah, I've been watching your thread on the S/C :)

Oh, let’s be serious, very few of the mods people spend huge money on this forum are actually a good value for money [emoji3] But I am a sucker for light wheels and more power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those look amazing. Might be just too much poke for my stock height Limited...? I know it's only +4mm outward from the Pro wheels from the POV of tire positioning.

I hear you. It's minor given a heavy truck. That said, when I moved from the OE 20s on my Limited to the 17" ORPs (both OE tires), I was surprised on two fronts: 1) I only cut 3lbs per corner. 73 net vs 70 for the ORPs + OE tires 2) I can definitely feel the difference in throttle & brake...

I meant the OffRoadPremium 17x7.5 alloys, not the TRD wheels you show there. Great to have that data point. I have a set of take-off ORP alloys on my Limited and am looking for something different & lighter. Wondering if the fact the Pro wheels are "flow formed" gains a bigger weight advantage.

I saw that -- thank you! BTW the numbers for the ORP and Limited wheels don't jive with my measurements. I show Limited at 37lb and ORP at 31. That site shows Limited at 40 and ORP at 25...? Has anyone else weighed the Pro wheels?

Hey, I'm curious about these wheels. It's super tough to find a high quality factory size/offset spec wheel. Can anyone share the specs on these? I assume they are 17x7? ET4? Has anyone weighed one? Where are they made? Are they the same as the 40AE wheels (except for color)? Will the...

I have read that the 3rd row in the gx550 is going to be optional. That would be a huge plus. I loved that I could remove the 3rd row in our old gx470 and the compromised situation with the 3rd row in the 460 was a deal breaker. That and it felt like a cushy, isolated pillow compared to the 4r...

Thank you!

Genuinely curious about 2 things, and thanks for sharing your experience: 1) Did you try the new pads with new non-slotted rotors? Or, did you change both? 2) I'd appreciate pointers to the literature you're referring to. I still don't understand how slotted rotors could be superior to standard...

In the spirit of learning: Drilled, Slotted & Vented Brake Rotors - What's Best? - YouTube I am a big fan of this guy’s videos. Looks like I was a bit too hard on slotted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
