    anyone have these FN BFD wheels? they look sick!

    I traded in my 4Runner but here's what they look like on a Tundra (just for reference) :hello: BTW - Dustin @ FN is THE MAN. Best customer service I've ever experienced.

    Did I make a bad decision? V8 instead of V6

    I'm with you - I don't know that I've ever noticed the cost of fuel between one vehicle and another. I get from 16.5 around town and 19.5mpg on my commute (mostly 60mph highway) in my V8 'runner, slightly less when I've got a motorcycle on the hitch carrier. Which seems about the same as the...

    No, it's a sweet V8 they put in these things. Smooth as butter, wonderfully torquey and sounds awesome.

    Exhaust manifold leak/tick

    Wandering on windy days especially on hwy

    Anybody install a nitrous kit on their 'runner?

    I've got the 4.7L V8, the truck is otherwise stock. I've had nitrous setups before, wet setups on anything high comp but I figured that these things were pretty under-strained from the factory - simple, low compression, iron block, reputation for living to ridiculous miles, so the gears started...

    I've got this 75 dry shot kit sitting around leftover from a 5.0 Mustang. Might be fun... a little Nitrous never hurt anybody. :)

    Anyone else can't get comfortable in the runner?

    Move your seat back up to a nearly upright angle - like a dining room chair. Then sit upright in the seat, no slouching, and lightly press your shoulder blades against the back of the seat. WIth your arms extended straight out head of you, palms down, place your hands over the top of the wheel...
